Half-a-Year and Two-and-a-Half

'Where has the time gone'?  I know all moms ask it, and I am no different.  Sophie is now 6-months old and Riley is 2-years and 6-months old.  I rock Sophie at night and swear at times that it is 2 years ago and it is Riley in my arms.  And then I burst into tears, but let's not go there right now, as I need to keep my composure right now and not focus on the fact that they are only little for such a short time.

I was very excited a few weeks ago when I made a purchase I had been saving for: a Nikon D5000 DSLR camera.  I love taking pictures of my girls and my point-and-shoot just wasn't cutting it any more.  I mean, I want to take pictures that are worthing of being hung on my wall.  By no means am I a photographer or even have any idea what I am doing, but that is why I needed a nice camera to help it look like I know what I am doing.  This past weekend I had some fun with the girls outdoors and captured some pretty great shots.  Enjoy.
