    Sydney, and The Number 4

    2013-1127_Sydney_4th_Birthday_295

    Today was baby girls 4th birthday and she was quite the little princess. This year she really was very excited about the day and was talking about it the weeks leading up to the day.

    We had a little gift for her in the morning when she woke up, and cake and another gift in the evening after dinner.

    While it’s only been 4 years, I can’t imagine life without her. It seems like we’ve known her forever!

    We love you Sydney!

    Halloween Costumes, 2013

    This year more than any other year in the past I really liked all of the kids costumes, and they were all very excited about wearing them. We had a Princess (she was just dressed as herself), a cowboy and Iron Man.

    We were heading out to a Halloween party and before they trashed what they were wearing I thought it was a great time to get some photos.

    I also tried something different and exported a slideshow movie this time. The kids love watching it.

    On Tuesday I was fortunate to be part of a Breast Cancer Awareness event at Halas Hall, the Chicago Bears Training Camp in Lake Forest IL.

    The event was called  P&G Best Defense Day of Action.

    I was there to edit together a b-roll package of the days events for the local news channels to use on the evening news that same day.

    Basically there was a camera crew running around all day shooting what was going on (some of it was not for the b-roll package, but for internal use later) and about every hour or so I would grab the P2 card from them and copy over the footage. I was editing the footage just after it was shot, with the goal to have everything done and out the door by 6pm.

    Before I got going I had some time to walk around and take some photos. While I’m not much of a sports fan, it was exciting being there.

    There are a few more photos on SmugMug. All of the photos were taken with my iPhone since it didn’t occur to me to bring my 5D. As they say, the best camera for the job is the one you have with you!
