That's a great little lens Candleman! I have one as well. I don't use it much as I bought the Canon 16-35mm f/2.8. I guess I should sell the Sigma, but I'll see what happens.
I love the smile in the last capture, Priceless!
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.

Your new baby is very sharp...and your other new baby is very sharp, too! As far as I'm concerned you can keep posting those cute shots only mom and dad love, because I enjoy seeing them
