Last night was my favorite event of the year, the Red Barn Boutique! It is a fancy flea market in a field with tons of antiques and women flocking every which direction. I was 6th to park and the first to enter the shopping area. I had a HUGE pile of stuff and walked away with a 5 foot tall brass, spinny book rack, this apple crate, a wire basket with croquet balls, a bucket with some sort of soap advertisement, a blue metal rocking horse and a metal toy truck. It was SO fun. So fun, that I'm going to share a booth next year and sell my own goodies. 

So if you are friends with my first of two facebook accounts then you saw me go through quite an ordeal this week trying to figure out why ALL of my horizontal photos were completely out of focus. I mean ALL of them. I have been noticing that it had been getting worse and worse and so I would start shooting my sessions at 3.5-5.6 instead of the usual 1.6-2.8. I was bound and determined to figure it all out and so I called Canon. They told me to shoot at f/8 for the clearest picture. This just would not do! I pretty much started a riot on my facebook wall about the Canon v. Nikon debate with the focusing issue and realized that a ton of other people were having the same problems. I mean, my photos were COMPLETELY fuzzed. I was ticked and couldn't stop until I found the answer to my problem. I loaded up a cart on bhphotovideo.com with Nikon gear and just about hit submit. I decided to call Canon again and speak with a CPS guy and after talking with him for about 30 minutes he mentioned what might be the problem. He said that I was viewing the images in Bridge and that my cache might need to be cleaned out. I felt like such a dummy. I opened a photo that I thought was completely blurred and out of focus and once it was open (not in ACR, but into the actual PS application) it was crystal clear. I was ecstatic! I almost sold off $15K in Canon gear over this issue. 

Today is Solomon's three month anniversary for popping into the world! This has been a big month of accomplishments for him. He rolled over, started sleeping unswaddled, we dropped the pacifier and he found his thumb (which is so cute), we did sleep through the night bootcamp for 4 nights (that was a rough couple of days for us all) and he started to sleep for 6-6 1/2 hours each night and he is just so content everywhere we go. I even took him on the 7 hour journey to Lubbock again and he only cried for about an hour total the whole way!

Solomon from 10-12 weeks

I can't believe that Solomon will be 12 weeks old tomorrow! Would you just look at him?
