too slow..... no patience

I have entered the official realm of digital photography - purchasing my first SLR this weekend. The Cannon XT was the camera of choice, with much debate over the XTi, but I just couldn't justify the extra cost considering I will likely not take advantage of the upgrades.

My intent was to make a lovely little post ripe with pictures, but the first attempt to upload failed and the second and third took f o r e v e r!


So I give you my dear sweet Eme after her nap... the best time for snuggles OH the SNUGGLES

The spoils of a first Easter egg hunt - full of organic yogurt covered raisins, fruit juice gummies, and raspberry yogurt covered pretzels - all a hit! And yes I can see that I am turning into my parents.... (and it is not as bad as it used to seem - love you guys!)

And finally the oblogatory self portrait that seems a must when you have a new toy to play with - and as I am an obviously available subject.

forgot to mention

• Em is sleeping throught the night again
• I purchase concealer for under my eyes to cover the signs of parenthood and bring back some of the fleeting signs of youth - no longer the spring chicken
• Em has had another hair cut this weekend, growing like a weed
• living TV free is great, now more time for the computer hee hee
• I think I might be a little smarter... just a little
  

in short

:: we have cut off our cable

:: Emelia hasn't slept through the night in a week (and we are losing our mind literally)


:: I am part of a teaching body of assistant directors for a school play with rehearsals
3 days a week

:: the sun has been shining for many days in a row and that is what is keeping us going

:: Eme got a hair cut - a few weeks ago, but news to you... a bob and so cute

:: Anna and I are on a month hiatus from spending - no new things till April 24th

:: I am still no smarter than I was before (despite the cable being cut off) Darn - I thought it might be that easy :)
