haha...I'm with you there Sarge. Remind me never to let our two girls meet. I think they would have the power to destroy the world by the sound of it.

Uh...uh....cuties, but I thought Addie is your youngest. When did you have that baby?

Need help from a moderator.

Please remove my picture of Hope and Addie. It seems to be controversial and people seem to think she has a birth defect.

I'm sorry Sarge, I asked a genuine question (privately) but I will apologise publicly because I have offended you.

You were not the only person to contact me. I feel the comments were highly offensive about Hope. The Cellar simply isn't worth it anymore. To answer the big question, I am a surrogate grandfather to her. Her mother is Addie's step sister. She is part of my life through Addie. Her mother was a classmate of Elizabeth's. Once again, there is no blood relation and no romantic involvement.

Sarge, honestly, when you make a comment about her being one of your two youngest, most people are going to think you mean she's your daughter. That's the implication. Even if she was downs, why would you be offended? I assume that's the question that was asked because i wondered the same thing. Aside from that, i thought both girls look lovely, regardless of who their parents are or their genetic make up.

Mrs. glatt and our daughter are off at a church retreat this weekend, but I didn't feel like going, so my son and I stayed home. Nice bonding time. Got pizza last night and decided to go for a hike this morning.

The boy has no fear, but an appropriate amount of caution.

Cool. You guys have a fair amount of hiking around DC?

We actually do. There's a huge demand for it, and since there is no industry in DC, the river is undeveloped parkland for miles in each direction.

Nice looking log. It's exactly the kind that I wouldn't want the kids to go across, but would know in my heart that their dad was right to let them try it. (Unlike other risks, where I would feel quite certain that it was a bad idea no matter what.)

I didn't go over the log. I took the foot bridge that was 20 feet away.

A few years ago, the bridge was out, and the log was the official way across, and I did it then. Successfully, I might add, but I kept thinking how if I fell just the wrong way, I'd break something and be a couple miles from the nearest road.

Took my 2 weekend charges to the park for awhile and was playing around with my new Canon EOS M mirrorless and a new lens, the Canon 40mm pancake lens. Not the best choice for impromptu portraits but it worked out ok.

Later I played with the images in some different editing programs, LR and PS and also one for portrait work; B&W seemed the best way to go with those bright colors. Here is what I got. Keep in mind Emily is 5 and Sarah is 7... Maybe I made them look a bit too much like pre teens with the sultry looks! Oh and I had to clone one of Sarah's front teeth over the one that fell out last week!

But now you don't have a picture with the tooth missing.

Are you happy with the mirrorless camera?
