Sam's 1 year pictures

I went to get Samuel's one year pictures taken last night. I had some errands to run, so I had Cody give Sam a bath. Later I was talking to Cody about getting Sam dressed and Cody went off on how the outfit I had hanging up for him to wear in the pics was "for a funeral." This is his rant:
C: Yeah, you are dressing him for a funeral!
L: What are you talking about? His clothes are cream and blue colored.
C: Look at these! They are "Drew" aren't they? You know it, they are so Drew you can't deny it! I mean LOOK at them! They are........ kinda.......... nice....... and if they maybe.......... came in a bigger size......... umm, I'd wear them. Yeah, you should make Sam wear this outfit for him main picture and the other one for the other pics. Definitely this outfit. It is really nice. Just perfect for Sam to wear. I really would like an outfit like this one in my size.

Yes, my jaw dropped to the floor. Weirdo.

So, we rush off to get the Wallyworld before 4pm for his appointment, and we were there early. I sat there from 3:50 to 5pm before she took Sam's pics. And then she screwed up and an 8x10 I ordered isn't on the receipt, and I saw her put it in the computer. I have to call and fix that.
The pics were really cute. Sam smiled for every one, despite the aggravation of having to wait so long.

Look what my husband bought me....

It is totally amazing! I love the pictures I've been taking, though they are just silly right now because I got it late tonight while at my ladies craft night.

I'm going to love this! Videos, much better quality and way easier to adjust the settings than I had before. I really like the low light setting because I always have trouble getting good pics in the church and it worked great down in the basement tonight.

All because I wrote a payperpost about digital cameras. OK, not all because, since I actually have been missing my camera for 6 weeks AND I have a baby who is about to start walking. That's right, Sam took his first steps this week at 11 months old. But he has NO, as in ZERO, interest in walking. He does stand and check things out, but then he realizes he is standing and sits down.

Digital Cameras

I love taking pictures of my kids and family. I am really bad at getting pictures developed, though. So when we got our first digital camera it was amazing! We were able to see pictures and share them right away, instead of a year later when I found the film and developed 12 roles at once.

It is also fun to see what the kids take pictures of when I am not around. I find weird things in camera, such as this snow globe posing.
Now that my camera has been missing for almost 2 months, I've given up hope of finding it until we buy a new camera. So that is on my Christmas wish list. Maybe the Canon PowerShot A560, which is priced right, but I also love being able to take short videos on the camera that I am missing. But this camera also looks amazing and has a $100 savings this week, Nikon Coolpix P3 Digital Camera.
Another thing I would like to get are digital picture frames. They are like a digital photo album in a frame. You load the pictures you want to display into the frame and the pictures move through like a slide show. Those would make a really nice gift for the grandparents who have everything. Get pictures of all the grandkids and make a nice slide show for them to display.
I also love the idea of a digital picture frame keychain because I could easily carry 60 pictures of my kids around with me all the time.
If you're interested in buying a digital
camera, first thing you should do is compare prices
on different brands. When you compare prices
on Sony
digital cameras and other things like a cheap
laptop, you'll be able to save money.
