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.
Here are a few photos and the rest are on SmugMug.
I also tried something different and exported a slideshow movie this time. The kids love watching it.

Weekend Photos, Sunday; October 20, 2013
A great fall weekend for the family, complete with Hayride! And as a added bonus, there were no trips to the emergency room and no broken arms. What’s not to like!
The last photo is of the floor treatment that Max did in their bedroom, which is a little “Beautiful Mind” like.
The rest of the photos can be found on SmugMug.

Andrew Tomchak – Now With Fewer Calories and Cast Free
After 4 short weeks (they really did go by kind of faset) Andrew was able to get his cast off today. He had the added surprise of finding a leaf inside his cast that smells just awesome.
The break is 80% healed (which is what the doctor was expecting) and will heal the other 20% over time. For the next two weeks he needs to wear a brace to help build the muscle up again and protect it in the mean time.
Even though they took a loud saw to his arm, he kept his composure the whole time and just smiled as the nurse cut through it. I’m so proud of him! I love these one-on-one bonding experiences, even if it is just a doctors appointment.

Andrew Classroom Photos
This year I am the official volunteer photographer for Andrews Kindergarden class. I will be shooting photos throughout the school year (probably once a month) that will be used for the yearbook. I didn’t even realize that there was a yearbook for elementary school!
I went in for the first time about a week ago and just loved the experience. The kids were all so well behaved and adorable. I watched them go through their morning routine of coloring, hearing morning announcements (some by one of the students which was really cute), the Pledge of Allegiance and a few songs they sing as a group to get the day started. There’s something about being back in a elementary school that just takes you all the way back to when you were there. It was pretty amazing. I couldn’t stop smiling the entire time I was there.
My usual go-to lens is a 24-105/4.0 lens because it covers just about everything I need. However it’s not a very fast lens, and I wanted to push myself to physically move closer or further away to get the shot that I wanted. So instead I used a 85mm/1.4 prime lens and am very happy with the results. This is a very inexpensive lens but really captures great images.
As much as I would love to share all of the photos (I had several really great ones) I can really only share the couple that I have of Andrew and one that you can’t see any faces in. Many parents are sensitive about photos of their children, especially on the internet and I want to respect that. However, I’m perfectly willing to exploit my own children!
I’m really looking forward to doing this throughout the year.
