& Hello hoppers from Welcome Wednesday!

Football Sunday

In the Fall Sunday's are dedicated to a quick clean of the house, some laundry, dishes, cooking, and football. But mainly cooking & football. This past Sunday we had friends over for hot dogs off the grill, buffalo chicken dip, and Halloween decorated cookies. 

Lori & I also worked on getting my camera's motion settings right...

Poor Roxy was the test subject :)

We now have figured it out for the most part, I just need real situations to test in!

And we watched the Skins smash the Eagles! A big upset! 

Which makes the win even greater.

Ahh it's so nice to relax on Sundays and get a win!

Hoping the weekend gets here soon!

& welcome those from Tuesday hops

Craft Fair Saturday

I went to my first craft fair yesterday! It was such a gorgeous day to be outside. A great feeling of Fall weather- just slightly cool with warm sun rays beating down. Lori and I picked up our white mochas from Starbucks then walked the whole fair a few times just enjoying the morning and making sure we saw everything there. 

There were a bunch of different crafts from jewelry to holiday decor to woodwork! We both picked up a couple things. One thing I got was a wooden food bowl stand for Roxy. Lori bought a ridiculously cute handmade painting of a Golden Retriever puppy on a bay dock with crabs trying to snip at it's nose. We took a break on these rockers. I so want one!

Afterwards we stopped by my sister's house to eat lunch and see my nephew. Then we played in Bailey's room; looking at the tiny pink clothes she will soon be wearing and everything that is prepared for her arrival. Hayden decided to jump in her crib so I grabbed my camera to see what it could do. Still shots turned out well (like normal)...

But I can not figure out why it's blurring motion so badly in dim to bright settings (even with flash). If anyone has any suggestions on what settings I should use please let me know! I've tried almost everything I can think of. It's way frustrating with a new camera!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Hub, Rox, and I are being lazy and getting ready for some Redskins football! It's a bit chilly in the house so Roxy is currently curled up tight on the couch!

Little Red Schoolhouse B&A

This is one of our engagement pictures taken by Keepsake Memories at the restored 'Little Red Schoolhouse' built in 1820. I edited it through PSE 8 using Nelly Nero's action 'Red Reilly'. I love her actions- and they are all free! I'm posting this one because I thought it alone made a huge difference! The only other thing I did was blur the background.

And now I like this picture even more :)
