I finally put the camera on auto focus...

I was trying to figure out why all of the other photos were so out of focus.  I had to put the camera on auto focus and the waving hand.  So that it would stop shaking when Chi-Chi took a photo.

When we were at Shannon's we went to one of those artsy fartsy towns. 

I gave Chi-Chi the camera and told her to have a blast.  Well, I was surprised at how much better she has gotten with taking photos.

She loves taking pictures now!!!

family portaits by chi-chi

I was looking through the photos and saw that chi-chi had taken a bunch of the whole family and some of them are just precious.

It is amazing what she sees and how she sees it.  Don't you just love the mind of a 5 year old. 



I had to stop and take a really good look and figure out which one of the kids these pictures were. 

I love the look into her world. 

She is just amazing. 

And to think that these are the body parts that she focused on.  Yes, that is my mouth.  Say no more.

the world according to chi-chi

OK, I have a new category to introduce...

It is called the world according to Chi-Chi.  Yep, that is what I have finally decided to call it.

I had an old digital camera and was going to throw it away.  A friend told me to give it to Chi-Chi and let her take pictures of her world.

What a great idea!!! 

I loved it and that is what we have been doing for a while now.  She is having a blast taking pictures of anything and everything.

So every so often, I am going to go through and share some of them with you.  I promise not to change, enhance, edit or rotate any of the photos in any way.  This is chi-chi's world unedited.

Now you know and I know there is no way that I could share them all, she has taken too many photos to even begin to do that, but I have decided that I am going to keep them all. 

Yep out of focus and all.  Then I am going to make her an album of my favorites with a CD inside of the rest.

Just one more thing to put in her time capsule for when she turns 16.
