Don has been talking for a while about getting Quinn a microscope.  Quinn is such a little scientist that this is right up his alley.

We ordered a microscope, 25 pre-prepared slides, and some blank slides to make our own.  The pre-prepared slides had fun things like a bee\’s leg, rabbit testes, and dog stomach. The guys also looked at Don\’s blood, Quinn\’s hair, and a cicada wing.  Quinn\’s favorite was Don\’s blood 🙂

As many of you know, I love ClickinMoms.  It\’s an amazing world wide community of women photographers from those just starting out with their first camera to uber talented professionals (and hobbyists).  The generosity and kindness of this community is like no other I\’ve come across.

And you know I love their on-line classes.  I recently took a class called Fine Art and Visual Expression (FAVE).  It is an advanced level class so I was surrounded by really talented photographers.  It\’s inspiring.  After classes are over, we tend to still stick together a bit and form Facebook groups.  We have also started a blog circle.  A blog circle is a way to share our images with each other and push us to create images worth sharing.

I will be sharing the images on another blog as I like to keep this one more family oriented.  Here\’s the blog  http://amyewhitephotography.blogspot.com/   Once you check out my images, follow the link to view all the blogs.  I think there are about 6 of us in the circle.  We will be doing this once a month.

Enjoy!

Now that school is out, Quinn is asking for a play date just about every day.  He keeps me busy planning but it makes my life easier when the kids are here because all of his friends are so kind.

Quinn hasn\’t had a chance to play with these 2 guys for quite some time because they were on opposite school schedules.  But now that summer is here they will see more of each other and will be in gymnastics together once a week.
