So much fun.

When Skylar was born, Micah gave me a new camera--a Sony Cybershot. It's served me well in the past two years. As she's gotten older (read: busier) it's gotten harder to get a good shot and I felt like I was always missing the moment because the shutter speed was too slow. Then it got a little wonky (no doubt due to all the abuse it's incurred) and wasn't focusing half the time.

For a few month now we've been talking about getting a new camera. We've researched and gotten recommendations but had no real plans to buy one until last week when my sweet husband said "We need to invest in our families memories, you should order a new camera". (Awwww). So I did. A grown-up camera. The kind you don't let your toddler even think about touching. And two days later it arrived (gotta love Amazon's free two day shipping!).

Now I can't stop taking pictures......

It's very user friendly, but I have a whole lot to learn.
Nobody is safe from the camera (except Nana, but only because she was busy cooking).....
Especially not the Right Reverend Brown (my Uncle Robert). Doesn't he just look like a pensive preacher?

A few weeks ago Skylar had her first salon experience when she got her first haircut. (If you can call Famous Hair in the Wal-Mart strip mall a salon. I'm thinking you can't.) They took 3 inches off the back and evened it all up. I think it looks much better.

It didn't solve her morning rat's nest problem like I'd hoped. She still wakes up like this everyday. I can't imagine life without detangler.
Then there's my fur baby, Jack.....

He's always camera ready. He gravitates to it. Competes with Skylar actually. Who could resist this face? (Except for mean Aunt Margaret. This one's for her.)
Micah's had some fun playing with it too....
When Skylar woke up this morning there I was waiting with my new camera. At least she's a good sport about it.

Someday I'd like to take classes so I actually know what I'm doing. I'll be able to fit this camera with new lenses as my skill level increases. But until then......

I won't be missing the moment anymore!

Thanks again to my sweet husband:)
