O blissful beauty!

Well, we gave in to the pain of picturelessness yesterday and bought a new camera. We got the four year accident coverage warranty, and I have a feeling we won't regret it, considering that our first camera started fritzing out after only one year (in the middle of Ariel's first birthday party, no less!).

I LOVE this camera!

Neither Dan nor I know the first thing about photography, as you may have noticed from my previously posted photos, but already we've gotten some breathtaking (to me, at least) pictures of the girls! Check these out!

You've gotta love that last one! A very good representation of her attitude when Daddy tries to soothe her. He's kind enough to attempt it anyway, though, and I greatly appreciate those breaks!

Anyway, I'm thinking that if this is what we've gotten in two days of fiddling, maybe we can say goodbye to JC Penney and just blow up our own snapshots! I greatly prefer natural photos to traditional poses, anyway.

Okay, for another example of how cool this camera is, check this out (warning- breastfeeding ahead!):

Dan took this picture of me this morning, fresh out of bed in my stretch pants and sweatshirt with no makeup. And it doesn't look totally hideous! It's probably one of the better pictures taken of me in the last couple years (I'm sorry to say). This gives me hope.

So I'm currently trying to capture a good shot of Felicity smiling. Wish me luck!
