new toy

I just bought Nanci's Canon Rebel SLR camera and LOVE it!! I am having so much fun using it. Today I went to Kristi's and we played with our cameras ... she has one too. I learned so much and had fun learning my new toy. I already had a "photo shoot" with the kids this morning. They didn't turn out like I thought they would so I sent some of the pics to my friends who are skilled photographers and got some excellent advice on what I did wrong. Think I can get the kids to do another "photo shoot" tomorrow?? Yeah, I didn't think so either!

I haven't posted in a while, I'm trying to think of what's new ...

Addi hasn't stuck any objects in any open body parts lately ... that's always a plus!

Mark's business trip to Cali went well. He really enjoyed getting to know more senior execs in the company. He's always been into schmoozing.

Our little reunion with Mark's parents and brother at Disneyland has been postponed to this upcoming weekend which is a blessing in disquise. We need to get a few more items of warm clothing.

Kristi said she'd help me put up Christmas lights this week. I'm excited to get them out and make our house look like a home. We have NEVER decorated the outside of our home for Christmas. We haven't ever been home for the holidays so never saw the point.

A little note was sent home with Logan last week about a play the Kindergarten class is doing next week. I am so excited to see Logan on stage. He's such a comedian when it comes to being the center of attention so I'm anxious to see him up on stage performing. I think he's going to be so much fun to watch!

Today I got a gift cert to Macy's from Mark's parents for my birthday (THANK YOU, Gary and Elaine) ... I am SO looking forward to going shopping. Macy's is one of my most fave stores!
