I finally got my camera back from the shop last week! With an opportunity to play with my nephews and to see if my camera really was fixed, we went to the park. I have good news to share: it is completely fixed! No more bugs! Yay!

Here are some of the pics at the park. As you can see, James was in somewhat of a mellow mood that day. He was especially stiff going down the slide by himself. Poor guy! I think he had more fun when I took him down the slide on my lap. Will is a maniac at the playground. He runs up the slides, goes down with wreckless abandon, climbs up anything he can hold onto, and tries to swing as high as possible.

Now, I want to thank you all again for checking out my blog during these last few ’slow’ months when I was without my camera. I promise I will update more regularly, and it won’t always be pictures of my nephews

Today I have been clearing off my hard drive, trying to organize and assess all the random things on my computer. I ran into these pictures that I took this last October on a Sunday drive with my dad. For most of these shots, I was hanging out the window as he was driving on the dirt road. It was quite the experience!

That day was incredible. The leaves were at their peak, shimmering gold and swaying in the breeze: a striking sight next to the rich blue sky. Even though these pictures are a few months old, I thought I’d share them with you to help us all remember how awesome the seasons are, and how beautiful Utah is!
