Mommy's new toy...

Hi everyone! Well, this may be the last posting with photos taken with Mommy's "old" camera. With some extra contracts that she picked up, and some anticipated birthday money, Mommy bought herself a new digital SLR camera and a couple of lenses to go with it. She calls it her new toy, and tells me that this is a toy I can't play with. That doesn't seem fair, does it? She ordered it online and the estimated delivery date in next Wednesday. She's literally been tracking the UPS shipment online to watch its progress to Sacramento. Just a little obsessed, I think. But she's really enjoying this new hobby, so how can I complain. Anyway, in her excitement she stalked down my friends Damian and Hayden at our Thursday night life group to snap their pics and get some practice in. Here's a great picture of the two of them, and one of me trying to get into the shot!


Otherwise, life has been pretty busy here. On Monday, Mommy's car broke down outside of our post box. Daddy had to leave work and come save us and a trunk-load of groceries from melting in the 100F heat. Unfortunately, they found out that their extended warranty had expired! It hadn't reached 100,000 miles yet, but apparently there was a time limit (6 years) on it too and that had come and gone. How annoying!

Then on Tuesday, I had a play date at Auntie Jenny's house. Mommy has a two day conference for work next week that she has to attend, so I'm going to hang out with Auntie Jenny while she's gone. I overheard Mommy tell Daddy that she was really anxious about leaving me with someone because I'm such a cling-on right now (thanks Mom). She probably feels that way because I scream and wail everytime I go into the church nursery. But on Tuesday when she left me with Auntie Jenny for an hour as a "test-run" I surprised them both by remaining happy and cheerful the whole time she was gone. What can I say... Auntie Jenny is special! Hopefully that eases Mommy's anxiety!

Finally, yesterday I had a play date with Keilani, Jacob and Eben. I was in a pretty foul mood the entire time (actually the entire "day" for that matter) because I'm getting my next tooth. I even woke up crying in the middle of the night last night, which I never really do anymore. But I figured it was good for Mommy to remember what interrupted sleep feels like, especially if they want to have another baby.

Anyway, that's the latest and greatest here. Hope you're all doing great!
