Camera is HERE! I was so thrilled




My first subject











Putting up Christmas decorations



Clark, Cousin Eddy and Catherine came to join us



Hope all your holidays were filled with love and family.

Zoa's Birthday

My niece, Zoa, turned 5 at the end of November. (BTW, Notice a trend. Yes, I realize this is late again!) It still amazes me that she is 5. FIVE! Anyways, I had to test out the camera (again!) & take an insane amount of pictures. Most of them I cannot post because they have Zoa's friends in them & I don't want to invade their privacy. Here are just a few of my favorites...


The birthday girl




My handsome nephew, Ethan


& proud big sister, Macie


These three can put a smile on my face no matter


Maw-maw and Ethan

Happy Birthday, baby girl! I love you!

Thanksgiving. & Addisyn.

I know I'm late. & I know even Christmas is already over. But, better late than never.

I, unfortunately, had to work on Thanksgiving & the day after. Oh the joys of being a nurse & working in a hospital. Because of this, I couldn't celebrate with my family. I sent Adam with some food down to my dad's house & he got to enjoy. Ya know, someone had to bring home the bacon! (Just kidding, hunny)

Thankfully, Adam's family doesn't have it until the weekend after, so I still got to enjoy pigging out to some pretty amazing food. (& I realize now I didn't even take a picture of all the food. These pictures will have to do.)




Me & my niece, Addisyn


Adam & Addisyn (Babies + Adam make my heart melt)


My mother-in-law, Pat (hi!!) & Addisyn

& now I also realize there were no other pictures than Addisyn. Thankfully, she's pretty darn cute.

I've been a bad blogger...

... I've been too busy with my love affair.



I promise a much-needed, long overdue update will be coming soon.

Obsessed

I'm already obsessed with this camera.. and I don't even have it in my hands yet!

I've been looking for cute camera bags to purchase to hold the camera plus some, just so I am able to put my keys, phone, wallet, etc. in it along with it. I can't find anything that is a reasonable price! But, I am in love with this bag...

Or this one...

Anyone want to teach me how to sew one of these beauties?

Next up..

Camera strap

Too matchy matchy with the bag?
