Got a new Camera

admin — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:56:09 +0000

Ok, before you look at the picture understand that it was night time with flourescent lights 112 mm zoom w/ IS at 3200 ISO and no flash. It’s not perfect but for test purposes it worked out better than expected. I did some noise clean up, a little bit of tweaking on this photo and reduced the resolution. I was probably a good 200 feet away or better. I tried this with my Rebel and the photos were blurry and dark (they sucked). I think I’ll keep our new Canon 50D for a while.

What a Great Photo

This was just a lucky shot. My 5 year old Canon Digital Rebel and my 5 year old daughter seemed to be in sync and I was lucky enough to capture the moment. Even if I wasn’t her father I would have said what a beautiful child. Lucky me.

Look what we found…

We went to our local Art Museum to see the Ansel Adams exhibit and found this in the gift shop.

It’s called a Buddha Board.

Morgan has been interested in learning Chinese Calligraphy for a while now and this is the perfect way for her to practice without going through reams of paper. We saw it in the gift shop of our local Art Museum and had a hard time getting Morgan to leave once she got her hands on one. Amazon has them for $25 so hello Christmas.

Morgan was Queen for the Day

admin — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 17:37:58 +0000

Yesterday when I picked Morgan up from afterschool she told me that she was “Queen for the Day”. She told me that she got to be the line leader all day and wear the crown and decide what she wanted to do. Kind of sounds like a day in the life of the Creighton family. Love ya Morgan I hope we get pictures from the teacher.

My girl got ripped for her first time

Morgan has been in Gymnastics for several years but latley she has been really getting into it. It’s kind of nice seeing a competitive spirit in her coming out. Anyway getting ripped is when you get a blister on your hands from working on the bars and the blister pops. Here’s a photo of our proud girl.

: My proud gymnast.Proud of her tape.

Proud of her tape.

She even got a tip for the balance beam today. Ya gotta love this kid.

981 Days and counting

admin — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 19:43:08 +0000

Well it’s been 981 day since we started our second adoption and I must admit we or I have been through some ups and downs about continuing, but we decided to keep on going. We are too close to give up now. I say that knowing that at the current pace we won’t get our referral until June 2011 meaning we will have waited 1750 days or 250 weeks or 58 months or 4.8 years. In the grand scope of things it took us 8 years to get Morgan from a failed pregnancy to IVF to adoption. So I guess for us it just takes longer, a lot longer and it cost more. If I had it to do all over again I wouldn’t want to change a thing. Morgan was well worth the wait and we cherish every moment we have with her.

Look at that face. We picked her up from her Grandparents Friday night and she said that she wanted to go some place she had never been before this weekend. We’ve been meaning to take her to Beaufort where Becky grew up, so the next day we made a weekend trip. As you can see from the attached pictures she had a blast this past weekend.

: Morgan and her sand dollar.

I’m sorry we haven’t been writing but 981 days of waiting has been emotionally draining and depressing. Believe it or not Morgan has been the driving force for the second adoption she has it in her head that she wants a baby sister from China. She says that she want to teach her everything she knows but she won’t change poopy diapers. We explained to her that she had some real winners and she loves knowing that I had to deal with some of the award winning diapers. She thinks it’s funny that I’ll have to change award winning diapers Isabelles.

Oooo favorite catch phrase “tighty whities” as well as talking about “tooting”, “burping” etc… She’ll make some boy very happy one day. I’m so proud.

Strawberry Picken Weekend

admin — Mon, 05 May 2008 16:34:28 +0000

Yep, that’s right the Creighton’s went Strawberry Picken and Morgan’s friends (9 families) joined us. We went to “The Patch” and had a blast. Afterward almonst all went to Antonina’s for lunch. Morgan picked 2 baskets full of strawberries. It’s a good thing she did since she will eat about a basket a week the other strawberries went to Morgan’s Nana, Pa, Ma & Da. We may have to go back next weekend to get more.

Next month Blue Berries.

Here is a really good book to read to a 4 year old.

admin — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 03:44:39 +0000

If you like Jeff Foxworthy and short rhyming stories this is the book for you. I love to read it to Morgan at night because the stories are written so well that they just flow right out of my mouth. They are outrageous enough to keep Morgan’s attention and spawn conversation about Crazy things. Since Morgan is a girl we often look for books about girls but don’t be fooled by the cover it’s not about a boy it’s about everything. Oh and it helps that Jeff Foxworthy is a comedian so there’s a cleverness and wit.

WOW

Like this Chop? It’s my daughter’s given Chinese name, Fu Chuan Ke. Check out the site below that I found that will help you make a chop just like this one. You will need to know the Chinese characters for your name for this to work properly. Very cool. Now if I only knew Isabelle’s given Chinese name.
