How was your Christmas? I hope you felt like this on Christmas morning:
(Sam 12/25/09)
I know I sure did.
Santa brought me the best toy EVER! A DSLR camera--a Nikon d3000, to be exact.
*Sigh* This is the camera I knew in the pre-existence. It was love at first sight. THIS is a camera that will command respect at little league soccer games. THIS is a camera that will translate my baby's ethereal loveliness into a true likeness that all can appreciate.
THIS is a camera that will show me at all times in a lovely and photogenic light, right?
(The first picture I ever took with it, with him, with Charles. Charles the camera.)
EW! And when I saw how crappy I looked, I felt like this:
(Adam being ALL BAD in his new policeman costume--happy birthday little one!)
NO FAIR!
But I immediately launched into taking about 300 pictures that have little to zero relevance, like this:
(A Christmas Bow, I like the color.)
and this:
(the staples in my mom's head from a recent injury--STAY OFF THOSE LADDERS, MOM! I missed the focus a little, but still! My old camera would never have shown this detail.)
And this cow that is soon to be hamburgers:
(Tardy, may she rest in pieces--in my parents' freezer.)
And I even tested its limits by taking lots of pictures of my Mom's pictures--straight out of the photo albums.
(My mom as a baby. Not too bad for a picture of a picture! Isn't she cute?)
So...nothing is certain but death and taxes, but it also seems quite likely that you shall all be subjected to a lot of extremely amateur photography by a certain madwoman photographer in the near future. Merry Christmas.

I would love to be subjected to a lot of your pictures. You looked like you were having a lot of fun with your camera at our house. I think you will now catch all the loveliness of your kids. Good luck
You and I need to talk, Elizabeth!
Yay! Isn't it just too fun?! Good luck. :) I'm still trying to figure everything out on my camera.
