Will, now 6 months, and crawling. He is not content to just lay down in a corner while the rest of us are having fun playing, he wants to be IN the action, and chewing anything he can grab- that means all of Olee’s little chokable playmobil toys etc. I can very much relate to him, since I am the second child in our family, I ALWAYS wanted to be doing everything my older sister was doing, and life ALWAYS seemed so unfair because at times I was not aloud to. Well, I am probably still needing to learn from and get over that life lesson, trying not to compare myself to the older (simingly more wiser) one and just do my own thing. I am sure other 2nd children can relate to that on some level.

Well, here are a few shots I took with the new camera I bought with my birthday/christmas/ayyam-i-ha/selling my other camera money. I am really excited about this camera (the nikon D90) because although it is still amateur level it has some slightly more advanced technical ability then the D40 did. The last few months I have been researching like crazy about which camera to get. I kept going through a million different options about what to get. What I really wanted was the Nikon D90 (the one I got), but because of the price I kept trying to look for a cheaper option. In the end I decided that I didn’t want any of the other cheaper options and to just go for the D90 and that the money would come somehow. I just kept picturing myself with the camera and tried to not let any sneaky little thoughts come up that said I couldn’t afford it. And wouldn’t you know it, I received all the money and a bit left over (because I bought it for a good price second hand). That really amazed me! Anything is possible I guess.


I learned how to jazz up the colors in the camera by reading this article which I highly recommend to everyone.


The D90 is a great Intermediate level camera I have its older brother the D80 and it is an amazing tool. Bottom line though the quality is all in the glass and that is where your pocket gets destroyed =)
these look really great! I am going to try to read that article as my photography is really experimental right now! Thanks for your comment, I was so itching to talk to you and Erika at the conference! But alas, it wasnt meatn to be. Perhaps another time in the summer we can really catch up. Its so strange also to have a short conversation when we already know everything going on through our blogs!!
And I am so impressed that little Will is crawling! Emery is sick and tething right now. That sucks. heart, Angie.
hey congrats on the new camera! That is awesome! Awwww…Will is getting so big, not to mention Olee my goodness what a little man he is!
I just pulled out the old baby clothes today and I could not stop saying “awwww” to myself, I am getting so excited!
So when do you figure a good time to come out would be?? It would probably be a friday-Sunday…I don’t know if coming out while the fam upstairs is gone would be better or wait to see everyone, anyways give me a shout sometime! Or I will call you some time! Lots of love to you!
That’s great you got the camera you wanted! I guess with a first child you can always make sure nothing “chokeable” is left around, but once you have more than one child that is really not possible.
