I didn't really have much time to pick up my camera this week… I'm still buried beneath lots of design work and spent most of my time making things "no not that purple, something a little more violet but not actually violet, you know?"
No, actually I don't.
So here are a few that we took at the park on Monday and then some.
Mind not the blur…
I obviously forgot how to focus. In. Every. Freaking. Picture.
Demmit… Sometimes it's a little hard to keep believing in my perfection.
I just don't know how I do it everyday.
All of my kids are in desperate need of a haircut...

Peter said to tell you that he's sorry for being so "un-groomed" in all his recent photos...
More Weekly Winners can be found at over at that place where that chick is brave enough to bring her camera into the bathroom…

My girls need their bangs trimmed. That's just another thing on my to-do list. :)
I miss Sonic. :(

Sunday, 10 August, 2008 at 0:37mmmmm….. Sonic….. I {heart} Sonic Cherry Limeaides.
The kiddos are awfully cute… and as I said in my Thursday Thirteen a few weeks ago, capture who your children are TODAY — needing haircuts, scabby knees, and everything.

I love the naked boy and that he thinks that is his superhero name.

Sunday, 10 August, 2008 at 3:25Fabulous! And I don't see the focus problem so therefore it does not exist. See? Poof, all gone! Anyway awesome pictures of your kids and I'm bummed. I've never tried Sonic. By the time they hit Pittsburgh I had moved to Belgium.

Sunday, 10 August, 2008 at 8:38We can call it "soft focus" if you'd prefer, but I think it's just fine. :) Nice pics!

Great pics!

Sunday, 10 August, 2008 at 9:33These are lovely shots! Seriously wonderful portraits.
And any fuzziness simply looks like an artistic choice, your perfection is maintained.

Sunday, 10 August, 2008 at 9:36First…I love Dogma.
Second, yes, I know your pain about the colors. What really sucks is when they decide on something and then decide that isn't what they wanted AT ALL and you have to re-do the whole damn thing. The only thing worse I think is when you get a stubborn client that wants something truly horrid, and you try very hard to get them to go with something not quite so horrid but they refuse, and then you are too embarrassed to put your name on it.
Third, if you hadn't said anything I wouldn't have known about the focus. Everything is out of focus for me now days anyway..called lack of sleep.

Sunday, 10 August, 2008 at 9:52Oh my heaven….you have a gorgeous family…and those are some of the best kids shots I've seen! Kids move so fast and so often that it's hard to get ones that are in focus, etc. But, you've done a fabulous job!

eventually your children will cut their hair — short. enjoy it while it's long and touchable.

Sunday, 10 August, 2008 at 11:42Never mind the focus, if you had not told me I would have thought it was meant to be like that, they're all gorgeous pictures, Judith! Have a great week!

The boys, what can I say about those boys? Handsome and adorable, that's all there is too it.
Tell P, if he'd get off plurk every now and then he might have time to groom himself, right :-) LOL.

Sunday, 10 August, 2008 at 16:29My vision must be much worse than I thought – I see no focus problem here. :) But then, since my vision's so bad, how would I know? lol Love the pictures, focused, or not.

Sunday, 10 August, 2008 at 19:15Wait. You're not saying those pictures are out of focus, are you? Because they're amazing. I'm embarrassed to say I even own a camera at this point. My photos are hideous!
