it's here!!!

Woo hoo! I can't believe it, but I finally have my new Canon Rebel (a digital T1i)! I may have to use exclamation points in this entire post.

My first Canon Rebel was purchased in college (i.e. pre-2000) and of course was a 35mm film camera. By the time digital really became the only thing to use, I was using my Canon Digital Elph point-and-shoot. It has served me well, very well. But, since I became pregnant with Eden I really wanted to replace the old film rebel with a new one.

This Christmas, I made myself stick to the plan, saved all my Christmas money, pulled in some money from Daddy and soon-to-be-birthday presents and voila -- I ordered the new camera with a snazzy new 50mm-fixed lens. It arrived this afternoon, and as soon as the battery was fully charged at 5 I started snapping away.

I have so much to relearn. Here are some of my favorite photos from today, taken on the fully automatic mode. Gotta go talk about someone's day now. Enjoy!
