Up Close & Personal

Some of the first pics from Mommy's new toy . . .



Someone slinking back down off the dining room table after swinging from the light fixture (imagine that!). Sawyer has rediscovered an old past time the last few weeks.



Xander looking outside and wishing it was warm enough to play on the slide (Buster, who's lurking the background, wishes someone would take him out for a walk).



The big puppy, laying in one of his favorite spots in the bay window at the front of the house - keeping a close eye on his yard and any trespassers. How would you like to see him barking at you and hopping up and down as you walked by on the sidewalk? Don't let his bark fool you though, he really just wants to play!

Guess how many photos I've already taken with my new toy? It's over a hundred, and it wasn't fully charged until late yesterday! Not all of them are good, mind you, but it's been fun practicing and learning. It's amazing how much better the lighting and flash features work than on my old one, and how detailed the images are. There's no hiding from that powerful lens now! The kids are less enthused, of course, because the Momma-razzi is worse than ever!

(In case you were wondering, Connor is still at the lake visiting with Grandma and Grandpa, so his close up will have to wait until the first of the week!)
