Family Fun

After grocery shopping tonight Brian surprised us with a trip to our favorite Japanese steak house where they cook at your table.
Shelby patiently waiting for her special supper.
Yummy soup!
When you're waiting to eat great Japanese food it's important your hair is out of the way!
Hailey's totally cheesy grin.

Amuzing ourselves while waiting for the chef.

Testing settings on a good subject

Don't you love the cookie crumbs on her little cheek?





Oh Happy Day!

What a happy day when I finally feel like I am at last able to express myself again. I feel as if I've been mute for the last year or two while I haven't had a good camera. Well last year when I was unexpectedly paid for speaking two different places for counseling conferences / womens retreats I decided I was going to start saving up every penny until I could get a good digital camera. I was able to save $400 and Brian let me have $240 loan until my next speaking engagement and was able to find a sweet deal on an awesome camera. I found $729 Nikon D60 for $539. The very first photo I took was of my receipt. With the enormous $40 of taxes and the storage card I have a total of $3.27 left in my savings envelope. It's a great investment.

And finally. . . finally being able to express myself again. If the mom~ster and I hooked up we could write an amazing book. She can express herself so well in very few words and I can make sense of my world through the lense of a camera with a picture that speaks a million words. We'd make a million dollars!

My very first test subjects - naptime shots of my two favorite people in the whole world.
