Happy {Half} Birthday Eli!

Eli was 6 months old yesterday!!

*

It seems like my SUPER baby is getting big SUPER fast!

*

The sleepless nights seem to last forever, but when you look back they happened in a flash.

*

Eli is rolling over really well now, and he is even starting to push up on his hands. He will probably be crawling soon.

*

They don't stay babies for very long!

Happy {Half} Birthday Eli!

Thanks...

...to everyone who said a prayer for my mom today!!

Her surgery {she had a hip replacement} went great!

She will be in the hospital for a few more days while she recovers from the surgery.

Then she will come home and follow up with therapy for a few weeks.

We are praying for a quick recovery...she hates to be idle {she was already getting antsy 3 hours after the surgery!}

Thanks again for all your prayers!

New camera

Jason and I have been talking about buying a new camera for a few weeks {thanks to tax refunds and Jason's work bonus}. I was getting frustrated with my old camera {the pics were always fuzzy and red eye was horrible!!} and even considered {accidentally} dropping it so I could get a new one {okay, I wouldn't really do that}!

After reading a lot of information, we decided to go with a Digital SLR. I don't know a whole lot about them, just that they are one step up from just a regular point and shot digital camera.

We had pretty much decided to go with the Nikon D40.

And then I found an AWESOME deal online!

I got my new Nikon at Target already on sale {10% off}. And I opened a Target charge card, so I got to use another 10% off coupon!! Because we had already talked about buying a new camera {and had already budgeted for it}, I just turned around and paid the credit card off at the service desk!!{Sneaky, sneaky!!}

I have a feeling it is going to take a while for me to figure this thing out. Yesterday, I was thinking "what did I get myself into" when I was trying to turn on the LCD screen {which I finally figured out}!! I will learn how to work it eventually, it may just take me a week or two{or ten}!

If you think about it today, please say a prayer for my mom. She is having surgery this morning.
