New Camera!!

After many years of wanting a nice camera I decided to buy myself a belated graduation gift. I chose a Nikon D40 and I am loving it so far. I definitely have many hours of manual reading ahead of me so I can use it to it's full potential, but the auto feature is just fine for now.


This flower shot is the very FIRST picture I took with the camera using the BIG lens.


Bath time for Avery!


Looks just like her daddy!!!


Best buds.


When practicing with the new camera, Tessa is my pupil. Thanks baby for humoring mommy!


I think it was after taking this picture that she said, "Okay Mommy... no more pictures."


Okay.... maybe just one more!


When all else fails, start practicing on inanimate objects. They never complain. This is Susan... Tessa's newest doll. She chose the name all by herself.


What does a person do to stay cool on those 100 degree evenings? Swim of course!!!!
