I took a ton of pictures this week, but haven’t had time to edit more than a handful yet.
First is my choice for Best Shot Monday, and then a few more pics from this weekend’s birthday festivities (Ava turned 3) follow. I love this first one because it is Ava just being Ava – playing in the backyard with her stick “family” and just being a kid.
Be sure to click over to Picture This to see everyone else’s choices for Best Shot Monday.
Stumble it!

I LOVE the photo of Ava balancing, that is a treasure! And she looks so BIG in her birthday photos, where did our summer 04 AP BABIES go?
Will turns 3 next month, and I am looking desperately for that little baby in him, but it is just gone.
Gorgeous photos, thank you!

That first photo is just wonderful. Love the tilt, conversion, and the mood it expresses. Great job!

Happy Birthday, Ava! All the pics are great, but I really love the first two – walking on her “balance beam” and sluping her drink. Sweet!
Thanks for your input on lenses. I’m not thrilled about the idea of no zoom, but I’ve heard SO much good about the 50mm I’ve just got to get it!

Ava is so beautiful! I 2nd…or 3rd what everyone has said..she’s gotten so big. I can’t believe she is 3 already.
I lvoe your pics so much!
I think I need to get a new lens, my dad gave me his Nikon 70D(?) camera but all the pictures are turning out blurry even on autofocus….

I love the third one- where she is smiling over her cake…she looks so cute. I think our babies are ‘gone,’ but I adore the neat kids they have become.

I LOVE that photo of Ava from behind as she balances herself. The angle is perfect! And her birthday photos are lovely too.
