Miscellaneous Stuff 12.15.09

So Liz and Garrett got to see Sarah Palin in Tempe on the 1st of December at her book signing. We bought two books the week before - one for Grandpa Morris and the other for us. Liz was in line forever, then it looked like she wasn't going to get in, then she ended up going in and getting them signed. Notice in the one photo she can't seem to take her eyes off my son? But my favorite is when her son Trig came up to Garrett and wanted to play.





Grandma Toby flew in from Springfield on the 11th. She got a smokin' deal of $80 round trip from Springfield to Mesa, so she was here for the weekend. We drove out to McDowell Mountain Park where we shot a few photos. McDowell Mountain Park is also where we shot our Christmas photos too. Once again, the overcast turned into a really good sunset and I was frantic in trying to get some good shots before the good light faded. Another perfect evening.







Garrett hasn't walked yet. Not in too much of a rush really. He has been teething some more, resulting in congestion and him being frustrated at times because he can't breath. We (mostly Liz) does the best we/she can in keeping those passages clear as much as Garrett hates it.

He's been making noises lately as if they are meant to be words. Liz has also gotten him to go potty in his little potty. Once he decided to stand up, and then pee. Good boy.

I'm seriously toying with creating a website and trying to sell photos and/or due portrait photography. I bought a new 50mm f1.4 lens, which has been working fantastic in isolating subjects (as shown in some of the photos posted). We'll see.
