216: Happy Graduation Johannah!

The top photo is my favorite of the day, and the bottom is a symbol of a lot of joy and healing. Happiest of days for my whole family.

Morgan and Johannah (love)

The whole fam, aka "the pod" (a new last name that prefers neither Bogart nor Sweeney ).

188: Jeni's!

Spent Friday night in Columbus with the four kiddos (smaller photo) and took them to my favorite ice cream shop: Jeni's! This photo is the first artistic one I've shot in what feels like months! But I loved it! So happy with how the reflections turned out.

170: Pairs of pipes, red heads, glasses, brunettes...

My kids all smoke pipes... at least as of Easter. Caitrin has had her pipe the longest (so she could recite JRR Tolkien with an accent impersonating an old man—her life's ambition). Jacob bought two pipes so we could all smoke with her which led to a trip to the pipe tobacco store to buy more. By the end, we each had our own to puff. This is the last photo of the day I took. I have a whole album of smoking/Easter photos on FB if you want to see more. Way too much fun. Highly recommended.

141: Mall rat

Set the camera on macro accidentally and got this fuzzy yet warm photo of Jacob at the mall with me (spring wardrobe update before he headed back to OSU).  I like the blurry vibe.

106: High Five

Yesterday's trip to Ohio State with the three on the right to visit the two on the left. So much laughing.

97: FAFSA and SKYPE

What a day. Jake and I skyped while he filled out his FAFSA in the library at OSU. Then later that day, my computer lost its cursor function which led to all kinds of malfunctions. Spent last evening at the Apple Genius Bar where my hard drive was wiped, system reinstalled. Came home to transfer back up from Time Capsule (which worked!) but this morning, iPhoto is all messed up. Can't upload photos, can't open existing ones. Good thing I took this screen capture yesterday! Why do computer problems mushroom?

47: How my family spends time together

Even Caitrin has her netbook open. They're all playing snakes while watching The Daily Show. Nice having the college kids home.

45: Holiday shopping does that to you
