Do I really need to add anything else to this amazing photo?

Wow Adam And Cora In A Photo
It happens every once in a while, but Adam does find time to get out from behind the camera and actually make it into a photo. This was taken on Sunday September 20, 2009. Beautiful weather, beautiful day, beautiful girl.
Spring Is Here
Sure, technically March 21st was the first day of Spring. But, the weather really hasn’t been consistently Spring-like till this past week. We made some time to get a bunch of yardwork done. While there was a break in the action, I snapped this picture of Cora enjoying a snack.
Shutterfly Understands The Value Of Customer Service
Earlier this weekend, I received this email from Shutterfly.

I’ve been a long time Shutterfly customer and can tell you that they have always over delivered on customer service. This email is just another shining example of why I’ve made them my preferred choice for online photo storage, sharing, and development.
Spring May Be Here, But It’s Still Cold
Made it back to Minneapolis this weekend to spend some time with the family. Cold or no cold, Cora just loves being outside. She was a good sport in letting me snap these 3.
I Love When The Ball Is In The Air
There’s something really exciting about when the ball is in the air. Where’s it going to go? Who’s going to catch it? I love it. Cora, recently started throwing balls, well and clothes too.
Cora Throws The Ball
You can see the excitement in her eyes when the ball leaves her hand. Will it be a good throw? Will someone catch it? Will it go where I thought it was going to go?
See when the ball is in the air, all eyes are on the ball. And, as the ball is getting closer to you, something like the wind can change its trajectory. That’s why you can’t ever take your eye off of the ball. You need to be focused. But, you can’t be focused just on the ball. You need to have the presence of mind to know where all the other players on the field. Some people react well when the ball is in the air. Others, not so much. How we react when the ball is what separates the good from the great.
How will you react?
The London Eye
I was feeling a bit nostaligic today for some reason. Maybe it’s because I haven’t taken a real vacation in some time. The last two “vacations” I did take I ended up working. Granted, some of that work was done from a beach in Mexico. But, seriously? Working on your vacation is not cool and not something I recommend, even though I do it all the time. In keeping with the black and white theme of the site, here’s a photo of the London Eye I took in March of 2006 with the D2Hs.
On this trip I managed to connect with “work” via the Apple Store. Sad, I know.
