We're Baaaaaaccckkk!

After a long hiatus, I've resurrected and redirected the blog.  Now, while I will still occasionally use it for my own random ramblings and insignificant life-commentary, it's main focus will be showing off pictures of my awesome kids to appease various grandmas all over the Western United States. 

Here we go:

So we bought a new camera.  A real one. I worked hard.  I saved.  And I purchased.  And boy, did that purchase hurt until I took this first set of pictures (see above).   But those amazing smiles and beautifully blurred backgrounds took away my pain.

You see, little B is 6-months-old.  Sadness.  And happiness.  But I had yet to get a picture of her smiling because her smiles are brief and our house is dark, and it takes forever for our point-and-shoot to take a picture in the dim light.  And of course, by then, the smile is gone.  So you see, I needed a new camera.  It really truly was a need.  Really.

And now, 2 minutes out of the box, I have beautiful smile pictures of B AND E (and one silly face from E...of course).

Now, Grammy (or Grammi  or Grami or Grammie...or Grammey) and Grandma B, here you are.  Some of my favorites of the 451 I've taken in two weeks of owning this camera.  Because I just had to play around of course.  :)

We love you.

 This is the "awww, MOOOMMMM!!" look I get a lot when I ask her to do something.

 Testing out the awesome shutter speed on the DSLR.  Oh so fun.  Ellie didn't mind being our subject.

So we didn't notice we had a cobweb on the ceiling until Big B (or Daddy...formally known on here as just B) took this awesome picture.  Then we looked at it on the playback screen...and low and behold, there's a cobweb.  Thank you, 18 megapixels!

 So comfy in Mommy's ring sling.

Those cheeks!!!

Enjoy!
