A window into our home...

I got this baby a few weeks ago:
My very own Digital SLR! I have been using my moms up to this point, and while she didn't mind, it is SO nice having my own! I love it. I spent a whole week reading the manual and playing around with all of the settings. (because every camera is different and my mom's is a Nikon) Anyhoo... I took over 600 pictures just in the first few days I had the camera. I thought it would be fun to post them as kind of a window into our home, because some are very random!
Monday:
Playing around with the aperture and ISO speed.

Tuesday:
Making tunnels in our carpet with Tucker for his motorcycles.



Tucker waking up in a good mood from his nap.
(I didn't realize that the blue in his room is so bright and vivid.)
At Ben's basketball game that night, he loves him some Cherie.
He also love him some daddy!
Intently watching the game with Carly.
Wednesday:
Nothing too exciting, random shots of our house.
This is how we organize all of our cords; in a huge wad! Does anyone else have just a jumble of cords like this?
My mom got me one of those hanging frames that has like 10 frames in it from Red Envelope for this wall, I just have yet to put it up. So, excuse the bareness of this wall. On another note, I will say that I am very proud of Ben for our TV Stand. That is our old one, Ben chopped off the sides of it, and lowered it, so we could put our new TV on the top of it, making a shelf under the TV. I love it, I think it turned out great! Thanks Ben!!! :) (notice my feet)
Tucker loves making silly faces these days.
Our mantle in Black and white.
And in color!
Thursday:
Bath time!
What I look forward to after nap time: the books on my night stand.
And our dresser! (I know, really exciting stuff here!)
Friday:
I get to watch this cute little girl, baby Ella.
It doesn't look like Tucker is all that girl crazy yet.
Oh, but he IS!!!
He loves to jump from the coffee table to the couch.
Or, more like fall.
Whatever it is, he sure has fun doing it!

And eating a quick dinner before the babysitter gets here.
Boys will be boys:

Hope you enjoyed our week!!! :)

Enjoy your new toy! It will be well worth it. I have the 30D and I tried to sleep with it for the first few months because I was so enthralled. Canon is great. Can't wait to see more wonderful pics from you!

You can't even imagine how many bundles of cords we have in our home! And most of them are twice that size, so don't feel bad!

How exciting to have a new fancy camera. There must be a lot to learn with all the different features. Great pictures from your week and experimenting.
