Momma's Got a New Camera

I set my heart on my first DSLR camera some time ago and this week I finally made my dream come true!  I love this baby.  I mean I really, really love it.  I'm still a little overwhelmed by everything I have to learn but I'm determined to soak up all the knowledge I possibly can.  Check back in about a year or so and maybe I'll actually have a clue what I'm talking about.  But until then, enjoy the millions of practice shots it's going to take to get me there....

Yesterday the kids had a playdate so I took the opportunity to get in some of that practice.  You simply can't ask for better subjects.

And this was the first night I brought my new baby home.  Nicholas was feeling like a wild man and had every single toy strewn across the living room floor.  He'd also ripped his shirt off, which perfectly reflected his mood that evening.  I totally expected him to rear up and start pounding on his chest at any moment.
