Athens

Last week Crystal and I attended the NESA Fall Leadership conference in Athens.  Kai and Nora stayed in the capable hands of Puraida and, though we missed them, it was nice to have a trip with just the two of us.   I lugged around my big Nikon so was able to take some multi-exposure shots and then render them as HDR images.  This is much easier to do well with a tripod but the days were bright which made things a little easier.   Enjoy the pictures!

Nora’s Various Birthdays

As is probably true with many young children, Nora had a string of birthday celebrations.  There was the celebration on the anniversary of her birth- what Nora calls her “actually birthday” – that we did as a family–turning 5 is a big milestone after all.  Then there was the round of cupcakes and singing in her preschool classroom and finally, as schedules allowed, an afternoon party on a weekend with friends.  Phew.  I think we’re all done now – for another year anyway.   Here are a few pictures that haven’t made it on the website before…

Nora’s School

I recently downloaded the pictures off of my iPhone and there are probably a couple of posts worth there.  Here are a few more of Nora’s first day of school as well as a Cub Scout one thrown in as well.  Enjoy!
