ebony and ivory


i celebrated my 30th birthday this past weekend and the two biggest gifts i received are captured in the photo above: the piano (you know you're getting older when you love the things you once hated) and a new flash for the camera (now i can take great photos at really small aperture settings). graham made this a very special birthday, full of surprises! now, armed with great new piano music, i am beginning a new dedication (and appreciation) to practicing piano and photography.

our family is taking advantage of the warm summer evenings by doing something every night. from swinging with grandma and grandpa robertson, to going to the park with grandma weddick, to watching grandpa weddick’s favorite disney movie – jungle book, to playing with the neighborhood kids (including ryker taking off with his friend, izzy, out of the cul-de-sac, and around the corner, despite the older kids telling them to go home and the parents chasing them), to wheeler farm visits, we have effectively exhausted ryker – and us.
