Days 28-29

So I finally have this new camera and no time to really play with it! I feel like there is soooo much to learn and it is a little overwhelming. I keep reading more and more and I feel like it is so much to take in. I think I just need to take baby steps and try to nail one thing at a time- focus, manual settings, etc. I am just so impatient- once I get excited about something, I want it all at once. I just want to pick up the camera and know exactly what to do and do it perfectly!

Day 29- Kennedy's shoes



Day 28- Katrina (would have been better if I didn't chop off her ears)

Day 27

Anticipation. All week I have been stalking the UPS website. I knew my camera was due to be delivered today, but still, I must have checked that website 10 times a day. Was it going to come early? late? I wouldn't be satisfied until it was sitting on my doorstep.   So finally this morning the doorbell rings (yay!)- it was a certified letter (boo). 10 minutes later it rang again and FINALLY it was here!

Of course, I was itching to try out everything- read the manual front and back, check out all the accessories,take pictures of everything- you get the picture.  But alas, my little monster baby wasn't about to let that happen. She has been on a screaming jag the past few days and it as not been too much fun. But I love her, a lot. So after a few hours she calmed down enough that we could play in her room and I could try out the camera a bit. It was already getting dark so I didn't get to do too much, and the pictures aren't anything great, but I am so excited to finally have it and really start learning.

Days 24-26

So my new camera arrives tomorrow (yay!!!!) and I pretty much have been so lazy about taking photos these last few days since I can't wait for my new camera. All I have taken the past couple days are just some snapshots, nothing too special, but they are of Kennedy so they are all cute of course.  Starting tomorrow I will start taking real pictures and really start learning my camera. I will also be doing the 12 weeks to better photos course which I am really excited about. Plus, we are heading to Boston in just a few days so I will have a ton of new stuff to photograph.  It gets kinda boring being in this house all day trying to find different things to take pictures of!

Day 25-  Kennedy has been obsessed with the animals lately, especially Norm. Everytime they are nearby she is totally distracted by them, staring and smiling and trying to grab them. She has even started petting Norm!

Day 24-  Ron is trying to pass on his new obssesion (hiking) to Kennedy

Day 23

I didn't have any time to take any photos during the daylight today, so I made Ron dig up a flashlight and try some light-writing! It was so much fun, and the 1st 2 pictures came out the best. After that we got silly trying to do all kinds of stuff and most of the pictures were just a big blur. Oh well! We had fun, and hopefully the neighbors didn't see the flashlight shining all around and think someone was trying to rob us.

Days 21-22

I should be sleeping right now, but I have to stay up to watch Conan's last show, right?

God bless my sister for coming over today and helping me get this house of mine clean and FINALLY got all my laundy finished. I swear I have been doing laundry for 2 weeks and it still wasn't finished.  Thanks Kim!! Then we did the long torturous task of doing all her wedding thank you cards- You're welcome Kim!! ha ha
as you can see, Kennedy wanted to help too.

                                                                       Day 22

Day 21

Days 18-20

Really nothing to report and not mush to show for these past few days. It has been raining non-stop so I have hardly left the house and it is too dark in here to really take any photos.

Day 20

Day 19- Stuck Indoors All day!

Day 18-  We only went out to take Kennedy to her 4 month appointment. It was pouring rain and we were so focused on keeping her dry I didn't even grab my camera.  This photo sucks since I took it on my cell phone, but it is Kennedy at the doctor waiting for her 4 month shots  :(

Day 17

I am really behind on uploading my pictures from the last few days. I am hoping to get caught up tonight once I can get the little one to sleep.

A few nights ago I started cleaning out Kennedy's dresser and packing up all the close she has already grown out of. I cannot believe how big she has grown already. I still remember when half of those clothes were way too big for her! Luckily she still fit in Ron's old baby outfit so we took some pictures of her in it playing with Ron's smurf doll from when he was little.  So cute!
