lightning mcqueen

I caught some lightning last night!  I've tried (and I use that term loosely) a few times to capture a lightning photo, and usually by the time I get my camera out there's no more to be had.  Thanks to Mike I got this shot.  Last night as the storm was rolling through I was watching all the lightning strikes thinking they looked pretty cool and wouldn't it be neat to get a photo.  But, I'd kinda figured I'd go through the effort of getting set up and not end up with anything, so I was leaning towards being lazy and not even trying.  Mike encouraged me to do it and I'm glad I did!  I know it's not a jaw-dropping photo, but I was just excited to actually capture the lightning and get a halfway decent shot.

The boys didn't seem bothered at all by the storm!  At one point the power went out and then there was a very loud thunder clap that I thought would wake them up, but they were fine.

Caleb is scooting around like crazy.  Almost crawling, but not quite.  Logan is almost scooting - he'll be reaching for a toy and if it's just out of reach he'll push off a little with his toes so he can reach it, but he's not really going anywhere yet.  They both jibber-jabber alot, Logan especially likes to shout.  They were laughing at each other this morning and it was so cute.

  1. Love the photo!
    Our kids aren't scared of t-storms. Chad's fascinated by them, so we've always acting as if they are exciting and fun. :) When they are really loud, tho, I think they are a little nervous. I don't know how they'd react to a real storm in OK. Eric says they are pretty bad.
