This is a little video I put together using the stills I shot for Amber’s Valentine’s Day card.  It has been a long tradition (since it was new and unusual) to have a card made at cardstore.com and mailed to her.  I shot these in our backyard using our tripod, the remote for the camera, and a soccer ball shaped LED flashlight my mom got me (back when LEDs were new and unusual).  The shutter was open between 6 and 10 seconds for each shot as I drew the shapes.

We decorated cookies with the Eisenbarth family yesterday.

I set up some tables outside, got the pink frosting, sprinkles and cookies and let the kids have at it.

Yummy!

Yummy!

The girls spent the whole time with a cookie in each hand.  They just licked the frosting off.  Then then would stand next to their brothers and eat the sprinkles off the the table.

Wesley and Nickolas had a great time spreading the frosting.  Nickolas had a heavy hand with the sprinkles this time and Wesley gave them a light drizzle.

Wesley's are on the left and Nickolas's are on the right.

Then it was time for them to eat a cookie!

I think she has more frosting on her body than she ate.

It looks like Baby Penguin is going to eat the cookie too.

Then we just hung out in the backyard and played with the frisbee and the football.  It was a wonderful day.  The weather was great and both the kids and the moms had a lot of fun.
