the way-too-excited image i texted jared... he probably expects nothing less at this point

dslr, meet slr... slr, this is dslr... let's be friends. 

Remember I mentioned that birthday treat? This is it. Introducing the beautiful Nikon D5100.

There is a conga line parading through my head whenever I think about this thing. Should I love a thing so much? Should it occupy my mind as much as it does? Should I eat less cheese in order to regain the waistline I had in college?

The answer you're looking for is "No way! Love on! Dream on! EAT MORE CHEESE!" 


(You should also be saying "What? No way, you look just as fabulous as you did in college when you were only eating 700 calories a day and working out 5 days a week...")

(Yeah, 'cause that was healthy...)

Thank you Daddy and Maw Maw for this amazing gift. Truly.

Fancy new photos to be posted soon.

I've already taken about 300. 

birthday tradition

First of all, it's a Sundowner kind of day. 

I stumbled into a new blog. Tales of Me & the Husband is the voice of Bridget Hunt (above) and I kind of wish I could be her friend (Bridget, if you're reading this I'm only halfway kidding, but seriously, you and your blog are awesome).

Anyway, just throwing that out into the blogosphere (I think I hate that word).

Now though, I must scamper off to pick up an early birthday treat (Dad knows what I'm talking about!) that I will share, along with too much excitement (no such thing? kind of like cheese!) on here soon.

Love.

Andrea posted some birthday photos... This kid kills me.

ONE.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to announce that as of today, August 18th, 2011, Mr. Kamdyn Michael has joined the ranks of One Year Olds. He will serve proudly and diligently for his one year term. He will uphold the proud name of "One". He will make his voice be heard. And he will, above all else, be adorable.

Yes, little man turns one today and it's hard to believe that a year ago he was just getting here!

Happy birthday Kamdyn! You are a very loved little boy from coast to coast! Can't wait to see you continue growing into the amazing little person you already are!
