This month I highlighted my SMC Pentax-DA 40mm F2.8 XS lens.

I didn’t get every a picture every day this month, but sometimes that’s how life goes. Hopefully you enjoy what I was able to take. Being stuck inside most days, due to the weather, leads to more pictures than usual of my son.

Christmas Eve - Micah's first present

This is our first year to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas on our own. But we decided to carry on the tradition from family of opening one present on Christmas Eve.

Micah in his chair

My mom recently gave us a small reclining chair that I had when I was a child. It seemed that Micah was much too small for it, but just this week he started to climb up into and even sit for a few seconds at a time. (He never sits still, so this is a pretty big development as far as I’m concerned!)

Candle

I thought the light radiating from the candle looked neat. Pretty sure I kind of ruined it with the Dunkin’ Donuts box, though…

Micah in the car

I rarely get to sit in the back of the car with Micah because I am almost always the driver. But because Papaw was driving, I got to sit back with Micah. Clearly he was happy about the arrangement…

Grandpa and Micah play

Papaw and Micah playing before bed. It’s been nice having Papaw and Grammaw helping with Micah this weekend! Micah is sure going to miss them when they leave.
