On hold

Hey.  The loan went from "clear to close" to "maybe," at best.  It's been real stressful for me.  But here are some fun pictures of the kids while we've been living in bunker hunker-down mode.

Mister doing his favorite thing:  sitting in front of the TV.

Food storage for the win!  Strangely, the flour and oats smelled like apples.  The rice was pretty good. 

Hanna's into getting her picture taken.  This is with bounce flash and 24-105L lens.

Tyler working on a Metal Earth stainless steel star wars jet during conference.  These kept the kids busy even though I had to help everyone, Blake the most. 

Kira with Buster, our feral cat, who's since been domesticated and is the most docile animal we know. 

Scott's completed x-wing fighter

Blake and I made cinnamon rolls.  They didn't turn out how we'd hoped.  I blame the flour from our food storage, but the kids gobbled them up anyway.  I added cream cheese to the frosting and it was tasty.  Heidi took these with the pop-up flash. 

Blake was excited about his Metal Earth kit even though I built it almost entirely myself. 

This is with 50 mm 1.8 and natural light.  You'll have to excuse her messy face because that's just how we roll.  Also, this is how she wanted to pose.  Already a diva. 

Suzie is not as social as Buster but acts like Alpha cat and marks her territory on the landing.  It's obnoxious. 

That's all for now.
