Three

Three

My baby boy woke up a 3 year old today.

He woke up to a train table in the kitchen. That I was up until nearly midnight putting together last night. While doing laundry in my washer that was delivered at 7 last night.

All that chaos, yet the party must go on. And we must have cupcakes.

Here’s to a fabulous year of being 3. Love you, buddy!

I realize I got a little carried away with photos. I got a new lens yesterday, so you’ll have to forgive me.

    I have a Nikon D40X and got the 35mm 1.8. It’s my first lens purchase since getting the camera with a kit lens a year ago. I think I like it!
