Britt at ColdstoneIn October 2008 the Vaughn girls, Olivia and Mia’s best friends and neighbors moved to Wenatchee, Washington.  We have been able to keep in touch with Jaeda & Britt through the magic of technology with Skype, email, and such.  However, there is nothing like actual playing together.  Especially for young children.  This weekend their mom had to come in town for work and she brought the girls for a surprise visit.  Well it was not a surprise for Jennifer and me, fortunately.

For the rest of the story and more photos, continue reading after the break.

BlackBerry Flipping

Posted By pomranka / January, 2, 2009 / 1 comments

While at the park today I was inspired by a photo made by Chase Jarvis. (web)  It was made on his iPhone and looks to me like he flipped the phone as the shutter clicked.  (link)  I thought, my BlackBerry takes really crappy photos and has a long delay between hitting the button and the shutter actually going.

My idea was to hit the button and flip the phone to see what I could get.  After a couple tries I got two that are interesting.  Both have my girls in them.  The first is Olivia chasing Lily, running from the photo’s right to left.  The purple blob is Mia.Blackberry flipping photo of dog and girl running in park

The next has Olivia & Mia standing in front of a pine tree with leaves all around on the ground.  So what do you think?  Add your thoughts in the comments.Blackberry flipping of girls standing by tree in Jackson Park
