A new toy...

Mom (that would be me) got a new toy today! A Nikon D40 DSLR. A what you say? A fancy new camera to learn how to use before we head to the Happiest Place ON EARTH come May. Thats what!

For whatever reason the UPS man does not arrive in East L.A./Kippy-aye-yay/ Buckeye until 6:00 PM. You better believe I was online tracking this puppy all day today!

I have had the camera ready and charged for 2.5 hours and already taken 150+ pictures. I would say a good 75% were out of focus. There is going to be a HUGE learning curve I'm afraid.

Here are some favorites from tonight...
Yes, Jordan had a haircut between shots. He was looking like a total ragamuffin! I much prefer a shorter 'do on that kid!

I am so jealous! I want a DSLR too. Do you like your Nikkon? Did you get it at Costco? I noticed they had a great special right now. If Brett could finish getting all his tax stuff together I would file our taxes and use the refund to buy a camera. I love your pictures!

I did get it at Costco! They were the cheapest around. Thank you Uncle Sam!

I got it because my research found it was the easiest for SLR beginner's. I am definitely going to have fun learning how to use it!
