Meanwhile, I've had some photos sitting on both the Nikon and Canon for the past few weeks, so I decided to finally upload them, dump them into a photo album, and write a few words.
In the latest photo album, here, I've uploaded pictures from:
Our nephew Lucas' second birthday party (it's hard to believe he's already two years old, and he's grown out of his shyness into a little, gregarious goofball),
Another trip we recently made down to Kalamazoo to visit the Air Zoo and our nieces (who recently moved back to Michigan from Kentucky--unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of the girls
), And yesterday when we stopped at the beach before heading to a surprise birthday party for a friend/co-worker. It felt wonderful being out in the fresh lake air and sun. Thank goodness spring is here (knock on wood). Lake Michigan was beautiful yesterday, but I only had the point-and-shoot, so the picture doesn't do it justice (it probably wouldn't have, anyway, as we all know I'm not much of a photographer!
). Besides the party last night, we also visited our good friends Ed and Shawn and their 8-week-old daughter, Amalia, Friday night. Yet another baby to snuggle with and coo over--she's just adorable!
Also, Drew brought me home some pretty orangey-red roses. I played around with the DSLR and took a few shots of them. They're on Flickr.
Today I've been trying to catch up on grading papers and doing laundry while gearing up for a busy week as classes resume after spring break. I've also been LOVING the Kindle 2 Drew gifted me, and I'll have to write a post soon about the interface, some of its features, and what I've been reading on it. If you can believe it, I actually forget I'm reading on a screen sometimes, it is just THAT close to reading from paper. Maybe I'll even include some photos for those of you who have expressed curiosity/interest in it.-Em
