One is "Bird". The other is "Bich". (She swears that there's no T in that one...) So, to show her what birds look like, we took Keira to feed the ducks at the Oak Hill Park in Danville. She had a fantastic time watching the ducks crowd around chasing down the little crumbs. Ironic, the little crumbsnatcher watching other crumbsnatchers snatch crumbs.<br /><br />And yeah, it was cold - you can tell in the picture with Da-Da that she wasn't having much fun when she was outside her little blanket cocoon of a stroller.Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08201341684604931649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5697724704743961414.post-46849114065697732722009-01-05T19:51:00.000-08:002009-01-05T20:06:15.132-08:00Christmas Pics<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg-QniwHtBeBMhPr4Ym2sfsr6qYVrjOSsXPnvd0xAF-kC5uqpUZW2z1fmI11IGp8AiH6Bv5dyP2DsxjfQM42-lQVzSqUSMjSZElm1Q0QXaaTHcSFZyzQyJ45AgNMbg6n-zbCLNktwNzu8n/s1600-h/December+2008+p2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg-QniwHtBeBMhPr4Ym2sfsr6qYVrjOSsXPnvd0xAF-kC5uqpUZW2z1fmI11IGp8AiH6Bv5dyP2DsxjfQM42-lQVzSqUSMjSZElm1Q0QXaaTHcSFZyzQyJ45AgNMbg6n-zbCLNktwNzu8n/s400/December+2008+p2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288025244339519026" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQR4ou2WPeqPXYIr4kZsNA2qVfPKq51ILsAPGZcborHSt3DzcU22GZVk53K5EA7KivIgBcnJB5N6GSuWA42EzmQCoVSlSbS5PS46HRhMxY4rQHa7jb-hQsp4oZ9iQNHp7ANi27C2wfBmwX/s1600-h/December+2008.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQR4ou2WPeqPXYIr4kZsNA2qVfPKq51ILsAPGZcborHSt3DzcU22GZVk53K5EA7KivIgBcnJB5N6GSuWA42EzmQCoVSlSbS5PS46HRhMxY4rQHa7jb-hQsp4oZ9iQNHp7ANi27C2wfBmwX/s400/December+2008.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288024094638218786" border="0" /></a>So for Christmas, and what we hope to be a continued tradition, I made a "digital scrapbook" for Kristina, grabbing the best photos over the year and putting them into one big digital negative that I could then slap into a scrapbook size (12"x12") album. It's like scrapbooking without all the gluesticks and mess, and gives me a reason to play with photoshop.
