We brought the camera home from the office this weekend. I think I’m in love. It’s a Nikon D70, the same as Dooce uses.

Anyway, if I overload you with photos, you’ll know why. The thing I love best about the camera so far is that when I push the button it actually takes the photo, no delay. See, the good people at Nikon know that when photographing children, if you have even the slightest delay, you’ll end up getting a picture of them picking their noses instead of smiling so prettily.

Here I am with my little spud.

Well, I only ended up with four kids today. I think I might survive! I just keep telling myself, this time next week, I’ll be laying by the pool in Mesquite, Nevada. My friend Brooke and I (and JUST my friend Brooke and I – no kids!!!) are leaving EARLY next Wednesday to say in Mesquite for a few days. We’ll probably drive the hour to Las Vegas for a day trip as well. I’m just excited to be laying by the pool. If anyone knows of a killer yarn store in Las Vegas or anywhere between Las Vegas and Grand Junction, Colorado, let me know. We all know that the trip will be THAT much better if there’s yarn involved.
