No. 1:
While at Madison's friend, Masaki's birthday party our Sony Cyber Shot Camera decided to pass on to the Camera Heaven after being with us for 6 years...

さようなら...
RIP...

そしてこのカメラで撮った最後の写真は...





そしてずーっと待っていた一眼レフを買う機会が来ました...キャノンリベルXSiかニコンD5000か迷ったんだけど決めたのは...
Then finally I got my wish of owning one of those cool big cameras... We couldn't decide between Canon Rebel XSi or Nikon D5000 but we decided to go with...

これ!
This one!

そしてこの新しいカメラで今日撮った写真は...

最近マディソンはしゃがんでいる状態から何にも掴まらずに立てるようになりました。そしてそのまま拍手するのが最近のお気に入り:)テレビで誰かが拍手をしているのを聞く度に一緒にパチパチしています。でもカメラが壊れてないのでビデオが撮れなくています。フリップビデオって言うケータイサイズのビデオカメラを買う予定でいるんだけど、もちろん私のデザインした好きな柄をカメラの表面にプリントしてくれるので今急いでそれをデザイン中です。それが終わり次第すぐにマディソンの拍手を撮って載せるのでお楽しみに:)

For a while now Madison can stand up from squatting to standing up without hanging onto anything and then clapping while standing up:-) But since our camera's death we weren't able to film yet... and a little longer since we are getting a Flip Video very soon since our Rebel XSi doesn't have a video function and since I always have to design my own when there is an opportunity to, I'm currently designing something cool to be printed on our Flip Video Exterior... so her clapping film will come once our Flip Video arrives at our door steps:-) Anyways, whenever we have TV on and there is a lot of clapping going on, she LOVES to join in on clapping, it's very cute!

We, I mean Dave, forgot to write this part of an incident in our Raleigh trip post so I'm turning the computer over to him...okay, here goes...as I mentioned we went over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge on the way home and with the 2nd longest bridge in the U.S. comes a hefty price of $11.00...and while our EZPass had said low balance on our trip down we had never had a problem and after five days we figured it would have replenished itself...so when we approached the toll booth at the bridge we went to zoom through the EZPass lane, but the car in front of us wasn't moving so we made fun of him for getting in an EZPass lane and not having an EZPass and having to turn around...then we went to go through and the light didn't go green and the arm stayed down...it didn't say low balance...it didn't say anything...the toll booth lady came out and said this is an EZPass lane and we said we have EZPass and the lady said then there must be something wrong with it and Anna said the last guy couldn't get through you need to shut this lane down...CLOSE IT DOWN...and I use all capitals for a reason...the lady all capitaled us back and said make a U-Turn up there...to which Anna responded...CLOSE IT DOWN!! MAKE A U-TURN toll booth lady shouted...I think it was the road noise that made everyone talk so loud...so we made our u-turn and stubborn me was like that toll booth was broken we are going through a different EZPass lane, so I did and the same thing happened...no light, no arm raise...no nothing...so fearful of toll booth lady I did the cardinal sin of toll booths and I backed up...gasp...I know...but don't worry I looked behind me...so we were able to move over to toll booth ladies lane and then Anna pointed out the fact that we did not want to go through toll booth ladies lane so we jetted over to a different booth and met nice toll booth lady who said maybe we had a malfunctioning EZPass or maybe we had changed our credit card and not notified EZPass...BINGO!!! Whoops...when we got home and checked our account we were $34 in the hole...YIKES!!! Sorry toll booth lady...our bad :-)

  1. Ooh, I like the new camera. I took yearbook in high school and did the whole manual camera, develop your own film, print your own pictures thing and LOVED it. And have always wanted something a little nicer than a point and shoot. I'm sure I'll have one some day... :)

    Maybe the toll booth lady looked you up and put the $34 on your account because you yelled at her :)

  2. How nice that you can take continuous shots with your new camera. Madison sure seemed to enjoy that swing. Funny how they won't let you through that toll booth when you haven't any money in the acct. I waited for along time to see if I'd be taken away in handcuffs after going through the e-z pass lane(no bar) without an ez pass. In my defense, Grandma was very ill and I was rushing off to see her. Forgot that I wasn't driving the car with the ezpass. So, I had to do it twice, because I had no ticket for the second booth.
