Sticks & Stones {WW #25}

Filed Under: Family, Photography Tagged With: Wordless Wednesday

Here are some photos I took while practicing Back Button Focusing and Auto Focus Fine Tuning.

Dustyn had a lot of fun pointing the stick at my camera. He kept trying to poke my lens. Silly, silly boy. This was my fun {Mom}ment this week. I love how fun and cute he is. Make sure you head over to Behind the Camera and Dreaming and link up your {Mom}ment.

Here are the stones to the foundation to our house.

Now for this week’s Edit Me photo! You can download the photo here, edit to your heart’s content, and then link up over on the challenge blog between Wed and Sat! This week’s guest judge is Linda from Coach House Crafting, and she has provided us with a beautiful landscape to edit:

Our last 1st tooth loss. 😢 She is our youngest Our last 1st tooth loss. 😢 She is our youngest kid to lose their first tooth.

It’s been loose for awhile, but when she bit a lollipop at school today it became super loose and started bleeding. Then she was crying. I went to pick her up and by the time I had gotten there she had pulled it out, it had stopped bleeding, and she had stopped crying. Still can’t believe she is old enough to be losing teeth. 🦷
