Trip to Mobile

Micah's Trip to Mobile

This Fall, we made two visits to Mobile to see Grandma & Grandpa. Grandma Anne dusted off a few old toys from the attic to keep Micah busy. These included a yellow riding toy named "Ollie", a red wooden table along with a tiny blue chair, a spinning top, a musical walking toy, and an old spring horse, (maybe it's supposed to be called a "rocking" horse, but you bounce on this one instead of rock...)

We also tried to recreate a photo taken of me when I was maybe 3 years old sitting on a wooden bench. (The bench is now a permanent fixture in the dining room of my parent's home.) In the picture of me sitting on the bench, I did just that...sit. Micah, on the other hand, was EVERYWHERE--He wouldn't sit still! Out of the 25+ pictures that I took, Micah faced the camera in only 2 of them. I was able to use one of the two pictures for our Christmas card. I now have a much greater respect for professional photographers!

I'm still not quite sure how I captured this photo...
