Review

So I'm trying out this new Amazon link that i've got going on now. If it goes well then hopefully i will get some extra money here and there. The bad news is that I have to start promoting my blog more and more and adding more people into my life! oh well, that's the breaks.

Fantastic Camera! You get Nikon people who wish that they had this Camera. I like it a lot better than any of Nikon's D series. It's lighter (not so noticeable at first but hold it for a while with a telephoto lens and you'll be able to tell that your hand holds the XSI up a lot longer than the D70) but I think the shutter button is at a much easier and more comfortable position than the D70. The price is pretty good and you definitely get what you paid for. The other thing I really like is that this little company, Tamron has fantastic lenses that are completely compatible and much cheaper than the Canon brand! I will say the only big thing that I wish it had was the ability to shoot at least 4 pictures in the continuous mode. I was really impressed that the D3000 could shoot a rapid 6 and was a little saddened that the Rebel could only pump out 3.5. Honestly it really doesn't matter except when you're taking a fast moving subject. A boy next door was jumping over 5 kids on his skateboard and you could really use that fourth picture jammed in there to get some of the jumping shots. That's really the only thing that I have a problem with. It is absolutely amazing and there is enough to do with the camera and learn about it that it makes a really nice beginning amateur camera. Any other thoughts or questions please don't hesitate to ask!

Steps

So my boy can walk.

Okay, let me rephrase that a little. My boy can run. He runs because he sees something he wants, he's standing up and he knows he needs to move quick before he falls down and doesn't get the thing he has his sights on. This happened today. It started with taking two steps by himself and then he fell down. Then we held up a ball and he got excited and walked a couple more steps and then fell down. Then he saw this little tent and got really excited. But he knew that he could only take a couple steps, so my boy's genius brain kicked in and told him if he moved his feet fast he would take a few more steps but they would be easier because he was moving quicker. Yeah, he'll probably be a physicist when he's grown up, he just gets those kinds of concepts.

it was pretty cool.

All day long we were trying to get him to take more and more steps. We even bought him shoes today! He did not like that one bit! Imagine going an entire year barefoot and then all of a sudden you've got this hot itchy things attached to your feet that you can't get off! Yeah, he didn't like shoes. But in the long run, i'm sure he appreciate them more when it came time to walk on the concrete. Alice had him on one side and I had him on the other, holding his hand and we would walk and then jump and he just laughed and laughed. Probably the greatest moment of my dad life.

my boy can walk.

p.s. If you ever have the urge to drink this please refrain. It's the devil and will very soon be banned from ever being sold in the US. Well, i hope so at least because that seriously causes death (as well as confessions!)

Return

Wow, it has been a while since i've been on here! I apologize to my readers (well you, mom) that i haven't been keeping up with this. A lot of things have happened. 


First off my computer died! Seriously like a stroke. Electric pulses are sent through the computer it shutters and then just dies. Then there was funeral and then I went to Jesus. Well by Jesus I mean the hard drive doctors. They are in the process of recovering some 8 years worth of data off of it so that my new computer will be just like my old. It's been a rough month trying to move on but I think I'm at that stage where I can wake up in the morning, have my coffee and just be happy to be alive. But I do have tear stains that might never go away.


Other exciting thing is Sam turned one last Wednesday! I can't believe it has been an entire year since that little man was born. We had a huge ass party and seriously felt like half of Frederick was there to celebrate. Pretty fantastic for the little guy. Wish he would remember it. But it was incredible. Alice's family came and my family came and half of our My Gym members came. Hell, even Dulcey and Brady came from Columbia (shout out to them for making the trip!) If I had known Waffle House is what would bring Kristi over here faster I would've let her known about that months ago! But the party was great and I will post some pictures on here soon!


Otherwise life is a little mellow right now but it seems as if there are big things on the horizon and I hope that I can keep up with everything to make sure that my family has the sweet life. Anywho, I will write more as the days go by and make sure to keep everyone (well you, mom) updated!
