Bathtime

Well, we finally got a(nother) new computer.  This time an Apple iMac.  We are absolutely loving it so far.  The transition has been smooth and simple.  And it WORKS.  Like a charm.  So we are thrilled and I'm hoping to get back to blogging.

I'm working on taking more pictures of our day-to-day life.  We have this incredible camera (a Canon Rebel T3i) and yet I rarely get the camera out anymore.  So I'm trying to improve my skills by taking more pictures (and I got an online photo school class around Christmas time that I need to work through as well.)

We're on Spring Break this week!  The kids spent Monday night and then all day today at Andy's parents'.  We got home with them just in time for baths and bed, so I decided to snap a picture during bath time.  Ira takes showers by himself (and is finally doing a decent job getting himself clean... boys...) and Andy gives Ruby her bath.  Ever since the kids were big enough to take baths in the big tub (not in the baby tub or in the sink), Andy has given them their baths.  He also reads them their books and puts them to bed.  It is a nice time for them to bond and it's a nice break for me at the end of the day!
I also have a question for my (probably very few) readers.  Do you view my blog on a mobile device or on a computer?  How much "background" (the sunshiny trees) do you see?  I'm trying to decide if I can make the body of my blog wider, but don't want to make it so wide that you would have to scroll back and forth, because let's face it, that's obnoxious.  So if you don't mind, shoot me a comment about your viewing experience with my blog!  Thanks!

WOOHOO for a new computer (I love my mac, too!) that works and so excited to see more photos from you. The bathtime photo? Priceless. I love it!

I view your blog on my computer and I can see a couple of inches of the sunshiney background. It's pretty :). I do love wide blog posts, though, I must admit (for the big, beautiful photos!)

I see a couple of inches of tree on each side :-)

Yay for Macs! Boo for baths! (Ok, that wasn't for you; that was for Second Son who screams like he's a demon being exorcised whenever water touches him.)

I see about an inch and a half on each side of the background.

Yay! You got your iMac! Please share your pictures away... I love seeing them!! And I read 50/50 computer and mobile and currently via mobile I just see a solid color background and I don't have to scroll side to side to read post. The thing I dislike about mobile is commenting - it gets wonky and sometimes disappears or doesn't let me backspace (just strange, code defect that I'm sure they're working on) so I always type up comment in my notes app and copy and paste in. I love dads and night time routines too. Not wanting it to go faster than it needs to, because I love it more than words can say, but it will be sweet when Sam can put Elise down to sleep at night (still have nursing routine going!)
