Lots of Wide Angle Shots Here....

So a few days ago I said that Hatcher and I have been having lots of fun...and I didn't elaborate on that until now....  The weekend before Inauguration Hatcher had the whole weekend off and Hatcher surprised me with a trip to Charlottesville to stay in his mission president's cabin.  They have a huge, beautiful piece of land.  We always follow the same routine of feeding the ducks, riding the go cart, and taking lots of pictures. : )  Our trips to the cabin while we've been here have been so awesome!!  There's no way we'll ever be able to think about our time in D.C. without thinking about these weekends of fun.

Hatcher's still busy.  He has to wake up everyday by 4:30am to be at work on time.  And most days I don't see him until 7 or 8pm.  And then when he walks in the door he practically gets attacked by Chick.  She loves playing with him so much!  Despite Hatcher's crazy schedule, I am doing great.  My mom was just here visiting, and my dad came for the weekend.  And my sisters in law are coming for a crazy fun girls' weekend over President's Day.  And then at the end of February I get to go to Utah for two weeks....the first part of the trip being a reunion with my college roommates!  I feel so lucky to be so entertained while my poor husband is so busy and tired.

Me & Hatcher took pictures of ourselves with my wide angle lens while Chick napped...I love this guy!

Ok, definitely my fav pictures of me & Hatcher in a long time....we were having way too much fun

I gave Hatcher a 10 min tutorial on taking headshots and this is what he came up with....I am so happy with it!  I swear my husband is a knowledge sponge.

We were on the go cart...and Chick didn't want to smile

But she LOVED driving fast all over the property

Andrea, you're so gorgeous. So is your family. I'm realizing more and more all the time what an important talent taking good photos is. That's a new goal of mine. Do you have any suggestions for a good beginner camera?

You're definitely model material there Annie. P.S. That's your REAL nickname. Is it naughty for me to use it? Are you going to block my post?
