Tech Candy

I think I may love my new iPhone cover as much as my new phone. I had a first generation iPhone that was giving up the fight. D sweetly ordered me a new one and it was delivered recently. But, I'm one of those people that try as I might, I drop my phone. So I was on the look out for something a little special. This cover comes with 2 interchangeable soft cases that protect it from bumps and bruises and a hard little snap on filigree that looks so sweet. Check the site out.

love.

A Little Bit of Sun in Our Eyes

Feels so good to see the blue sky and feel the sun on our faces.

Grand Canyon

We made a family trip to the Grand Canyon National Park.

It was a chilly view, with snow on the ground and a bit breezy.  I accidentally left my good camera at the hotel, so had to rely on Auntie Rochelle and my iphone...but you get the idea, we'll definitely make the trip out again, hopefully in the spring when the weather is warmer.

Elmo with Ricky

N enthusiastically asks for an Elmo video at least 10 times a day.  He has a handful of Elmo books, and a few weeks ago August introduced him to the glorious 'Elmo on Demand' aka Elmo videos on my phone from YouTube.  I hadn't given in to his request to watch snippets on my phone until today when we were stuck in some pretty nasty evening traffic traveling home from his doctor appointment; he's sick with fever, ear aches, and was hungry and grumpy.  So after sitting in a dead stop and staring at blinding brake lights forever I quickly pulled one up and handed him back my phone... it ends about 3 minutes later and he immediately of course asks for more so I hit the next one on the roster and all the sudden I hear a familiar British accent asking if Elmo wants a lullaby because he's having trouble sleeping.  I was in the front seat in hysterics.  I can't see it, mind you, just listening and picturing it.

So I get home, give him dinner, put him to bed, call D and E over to watch it with me and we were just rolling.  There's also this Ricky Gervais/Elmo interview as well that is just great.

The 3rd time's not so charming.

D went swimming with his phone in his back pocket...again.

Pulling Up & Upside Down

He has mastered the pull-up.

He's pretty good at sitting back down too.

He's even better at spotting my phone innocently resting on the couch cushion, and then handing it to me when he finally notices I've caught him!

::::::::::

You've seen this in his 'learning to crawl video,' but he still loves doing this move!  I've been trying for weeks to capture it, but the minute I reach for the camera he moves on...this morning I got lucky as he was clearly in performance mode!

TiltShift Generator

Found it! My favorite Photo App yet! You can buy it for your phone for 99cents. Camera Bag was a step in the right direction, but TiltShift by Art&Mobile takes it to a new and better level. It gives you total freedom in determining to what exact degree you edit those shots. Fabulous! And, and, you can get it for your desktop...hurry up now! Go get it! It will make you oh-so happy.


*The one of E was taken with my phone, and N's on my Nikon.
