Weekend Whirlwind

Brian is in Vegas. Gabriel has a cold. I finished my quilt top, and today I decided I deserved a little treat. I had some money saved up so I bought myself a new camera. A DSLR...Canon EOS Rebel. :) Woo!!! I have only taken it out of the box, put the semi-charged battery in, thrown in my old memory card and taken a few shots on auto, but holy toledo am I impressed!!!

The pictures I took are of stunning quality, and I haven't even looked at the manual yet. I can see after playing with it for a few minutes while Gabriel is napping that more lenses are a must. Yep...more money. But I at least need a decent zoom lens. If anyone has any opinions on what types of lenses are handy for taking pictures of kiddos let me know!

So, here are a few of my pictures. (Keep in mind...these were straight out of the box.) Enjoy Gabriel's stunning blue eyes...but kindly look past his runny nose. Poor little guy.
