Love it!



Eric got me a new camera yesterday. It is very fancy by my standards probably not in general by DSLR standards. I am loving it though. It's fast and the zoom lens is awsome and I have done pretty much nothing but take pictures for the last two days. I cannot wait to take it to Chicago this next weekend! I'll post a few of the pictures I took and you can tell me what you think.

School Begins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Alissa and Kristen have both started school. This is Alissa's first real school year as a kindergartner. She has been loving it. She loves her teacher and her new friends although she is not very good with names so I can't share that with you. She did tell me there are 2 other girls in her class with the same shoes and that automatically made them friends. I am confident that she will have a great year. I did not get as emotional this time as I did when Kristen started kindergarten of course Alissa did not try to kick me out of the room either. I did get a little choked up when on the 3rd day she wanted to walk into the school herself like a big girl. She's so grown up. This is Kristen's second year at the middle school so she has an idea of what to expect. She has a friend of mine's husband as a teacher so she better behave herself. She has already started some of her extra activities. Choir, volleyball. So she's off and running and having a good time. She was very excited to find her best friend is on her team and even has a class with her this year. So she just can't wait to get to school in the morning. During the nice weather she rides her bike and she loves that also.
