Getting Caught Up

I went on a walk with a good friend of mine yesterday in a beautiful area and took a ton of pictures. I've been so itchy to get them up, but before I could do that I have about ten random favorites I've been needing to post. I know I love my little family to pieces because I have such a hard time choosing which pictures to post. I usually love them all, and so I end up posting a lot; but there are always those pictures that didn't go with the theme of my post, or I had already posted more than anyone would want to see on a certain post and they get left out. So, today here are my misfit favorites. Now I can get to work and maybe in a day or two post some from my walk!

If ever there were a little girl who loved her Daddy, Ellie would be her! She stares at him contsantly, even when he's not looking. As soon as he does glance her way, her open mouthed stare turns up into the sweetest, happiest smile ever smiled. Do you think she's got daddy wrapped around her adorable little finger or what?

Speaking of that smile......here it is with teeth! It took Dan and I a lot of tries to get her to show those pearly whites.

Here was one of the attempts. I loved her eyes in this one.

Did any of you ever watch Garfield and friends when you were little? In the side show (apparently the friends) there was a little duck who wore his floaty everwhere! It completely reminded me of Linc. Our wading pools are maybe ten inches deep, but he found this floaty and wore it the entire time.

Linc insisted I add this picture. Not much else to say. It is a classic 'Logan' picture :)

I was trying to find a correct exposure using high and low aperature levels the other day and this picture was one of my results. I know it is pretty washed out, but I loved how the water turned out. I had a high f stop number and a low shutterspeed.

An accidental favorite. I was just messing with my manual numbers and caught this one. Loved it from the start.

This was one of those lucky moments in Ellies room where the kids were being cute, and I happened to have my camera.

These last two are from Ellie's recent dress shoot. I went through all the pictures so quickly the first time because I was trying to post them while Dan could see them, (he was out of town last week and his schedule was a little crazy) so I missed two of my favorites! I was going through them again today and found these two.
