Lazy Day

All three of us have been battling some allergy and/or cold stuff. We're not exactly sure what the problem is, but we know we're all congested. Kabe is coughing, my ears are plugged and Adam is losing his voice. We're fun to be around. Therefore, we decided it would be best to be outside on Sunday, so as not to expose people if we are contageous.

Sunday was a lazy day, but it was so beautiful we needed to be outside doing nothing. Adam wanted to work on his Bible study and I wanted to do some reading, Kabe just needed to be out & play so we headed to the park with a blanket.

Kabe's favorite thing at the park is the swings.


This isn't an ordinary swing. It's built to look like a tire, but can spin round and round.


And of course, he needs assistance on this swing for it to be any fun.


It can also swing and spin which is even more fun.


He could swing & spin, spin & swing endlessly.


He also likes regular swings. He can swing normally on them. Only he was being a little daring today.


Even though he knows how to swing on his own, he enjoyed some quality dad-time while Adam pushed him on the swings. Of course, Adam had fun tickling Kabe in the process.


We ran to Curtis Orchard yesterday to get some of our favorite Honeycrisp apples. We took a little extra time to run through the maze and of course, Kabe needed a picture on the train.



Here's Kabe in October '07 (left) and September '08 at the Curtis Orchard Apple. He likes the Illini too! =)

Fun photo's

I've been trying to work on understanding my camera in order to take better pictures. I'm amazed and inspired by some of these pictures I see taken by 'amateurs' or 'hobbyist'. I want that to be me. I know that can be me. I have that camera.

Below are a few photos I took. Do you like any of them? Let me know your thoughts...leave a comment if you have a minute.
