Baby Faces

I remember when Judah was a baby someone laughing at the amount of pictures that I took of him. When they found out I was pregnant with Wesley they said "Well, this is when the picture taking will slow down."


Well, it hasn't.
In fact the amount of pictures I have taken has increased significantly.


I think I have an addiction with taking photographs of my children.
Do you think there is a self help group for that?

I checked my "2007" folder - the year Judah was born- and it has 5,000 images in it.
And then I checked the "2008" folder - the year Wesley was born - and it has 8,000 images.

I love living in a digital age where it's possible to both take thousands of pictures of your children AND store thousands of pictures of your children with minimal cost and space!

Camera Fund

I have a new-found passion to earn money now that I have a goal in mind. (That would be the camera!) I have created a goal for myself to pull in money each week. Still working out the details of *how* I'll earn the money, but to motivate myself I thought I'd do weekly updates.

I have a jar sitting on my desk that is holding the cash.

This past week I earned $43 at a consignment shop.

This coming week I have plans to sell stuff on craigslist and do more writing - writing doesn't pay much, but every little bit helps. And the articles continue to earn money. I haven't written anything in nearly two months, and yet this month I've earned $4. For articles I've written long ago. Kinda cool. Last month I earned $11. So, I hope to write more to earn more.

Will update in a week.

Me Drooling

Paul's friend came over tonight with his camera. I fed him supper in exchange for an evening of playing with his camera. For any camera nerds he's got a Nikon D300. For anyone who cares, it's a $1,500 body and the lenses are $600 - $800 each. The flash is about $500. It's a sweet prosumer camera. I want this camera. So badly.

These are my two favorite shots from the evening:
