The Family I Love: My Camera Has Returned.

My Camera Has Returned.

I have been without my Nikon camera for 3 months. My father had it updated and cleaned. I am very thankful for his support, but I realized then how much I love my camera. I couldn't wait to get it back and start taking pictures again. Unfortunately my lense that I use for portraits is having problems and Nikon cannot fix it because it is too old and they no longer carry the parts. Whaaaaa!! So now I need to save up $1000 to purchase a new lense. In the mean time my sister-in-law, Nichole, has decided that she wants to learn more about photography and has purchased a camera just like mine. I went to her house the other day and we played, with our cameras that is. I'm so excited that she just purchased the lense that I want and she is going to let me barrow it for my next photo shoot. If I can get enough photo shoots I can get my new lense. I'm feeling like there is hope:) Here are a few pictures I took in her backyard with her beautiful flowers. I was experimenting taking pictures in full sunlight with a fill-in flash. I did better on some than others. That's what it is all about.

Emma

Emma, who is 10, loves music and feels it inside. I LOVE to listen to her sing. When she knows a song well she can belt it out strong. She is not one that needs a microphone:) Her daddy loves to spend time with her singing. Often times he plays his guitar while she makes up songs. When Emma isn't singing, she is playing outside, or with friends. She wishes she could go camping more often and last night she informed me that she wished she lived in a place that had tons of lizards, animals, snakes, bugs, etc... I think she needs to go to the rainforest.

Sadie

Sadie, who is 7, is the jokester of the family. She is happiest if her joke actually makes someone laugh:) She has started a funky jazz dance class and seems to really enjoy it. It is fun to watch her work so hard at doing the splits. She loves anything girlie...make-up, dress-up, sparkly, etc... She prefers not to do any chores or housework:), but is getting better at it. She is known to pull everything out while playing and not be too interested when it's time to clean up. Mommy usually says, "Well, I'll do it, but I get to do what I want with it." That usually means I will throw it in the trash:) It's amazing how quick she moves once I volunteer!

Jayden

Jayden, who will be 5 in July, will start kindergarten real soon. He wasn't excited to do so, but is now accepting the idea that he won't be with mommy forever. Jayden loves to ride his bike, scooter, jump on the trampoline, and play with his friends. He loves to spot race cars and hear their engines rev. For some reason he can spot a mustang a mile away. He also loves to pretend that his bike is a motorcycle and he makes revving noises while he rides. He loves his sisters and enjoys playing with them too. He is very loving and tells me many time a day, "Mommy, I love you!"
