Wheelie Dealie Night

By Leslie Parks - Friday, April 23, 2010
Our kids have been attending Awana since Isaac was 6 1/2.  We just love this program.  The kids learn Bible verses and rules at home are reinforced with Bible verses and stories.  Awana starts in the fall around the same time as school starts and it goes until May.  Every Wednesday I load up the van with kids, ours and friends and drive...

Tenant Lake

By Leslie Parks - Monday, April 12, 2010
We went to Tenant Lake and then spent 15 minutes over at Hovander.  I made the kids get dressed into some nice clothes so that I could work on some photography issues.  This week I'm working on framing my subjects.  Posing people is so hard for me.  I can't get the catchlights in their eyes, or they are in full sun or backlit. ...
