Day at the park

Noah, Sherry and I love to take walks to Stockton and play on their playground. I think it is good for a couple of reason:

- When he goes to school there he will be more comfortable playing on the playground and will be able to stand up to the playground bully
- They just got a new set, so it feels all clean and nice
- It is a good distance away from our house so it is an enjoyable walk

Once again, loving the camera. Took 200 pictures today.

Why spend $600 on a camera?

Sherry and I have been wanting a new digital camera for a long time. We have been using a Kodak EasyShare for the past year. And to put it simply, it is a piece. We love our non-digital SLR, the Canon Rebel, so in order to optimize our lenses our thinking was that we would get the same model in a digital camera, just to make sure that there are no issues.

$600 is no chump change to drop on a camera, so we were a little hesitant to pull the trigger. But as you will hopefully see in the improved images on the site, it is well worth the money. I have already taken over 100 photos today, and OMG am I loving this camera.

I no longer have to wait 2 seconds before the camera responds to my request to take the picture, and the quality is far superior, and I am also trying to learn to do some "fancy camera stuff" that requires knowing about the aperture and shutter speed and stuff.

Hope you enjoy:

As you can tell from the picture, we weren't sure how our first Halloween as a family of four was going to go. In the beginning, Noah was not very thrilled about his Elmo costume- and Jude was not in the mood for an outfit change. But after we explained to Noah that he would get candy if he wore the costume, he was totally into being Elmo. Dad took Noah for a walk around the block to Trick or Treat and Mom stayed home with Jude. We had planned to hand out candy, but we didn't take into consideration that our roofers would work until after dark (yes, we are getting a new roof). After a long walk around the block, we headed to Daddy John and Noushin's and everyone got to stay up way past their bedtimes! Overall it turned out to be a great Halloween.
