Confession..

So, I have a bit of a confession to make. For those of you who know, I got a wonderful new camera for my birthday. After playing with it for a week, and learning what I could, I wasn't happy with the results of my pictures. Not that they were bad, but the lighting was a bit orange, and sometimes they'd be out of focus. And when you have an 11 month old, you need your camera to be able to keep up with her. Anyway, last weekend, Lance and I were at Sam's Club and I just happened to pick up the Nikon D3000. I played around with it for a bit and was amazed at the quality of pictures. I instantly fell in love (and I think Lance did too). So I decided, if I'm going to get a new camera I might as well do it right the first time. I sold my newest camera to my brother-in-law, Brad, and the next day I picked up this one...

Isn't it wonderful?

So yeah, any spare time I get, guess what I'm doing? Learning and snapping, learning and snapping. Here's a few pics.

Lance got his Christmas present a few days early this year. It's a Kimber 1911. He is so proud of this gun. I'm a firm believer of receiving your presents on Christmas, but this just isn't something I can pick out, and if he doesn't like it, he can return it.

My poor Layla. Last week she cut 4 new teeth. This week she's dealing with a horrible cold. We're doing everything to get her well before Christmas. Who wants to be sick on their first Christmas?

She's telling me a very intense story right here...

Even though she's sick, she's still got her appetite!

She loves playing, "Where's Layla?"

Her poor little nose is so raw and every once in a while you'll see little tears come out of her watery eyes.

Her first time trying Mustard Greens. She loved them! Grandma Shellie will be proud.

Priceless moments...
