No longer ONLY 30

I've been in my early thirties for 10 days now. And I'm ok with it. My birthday came and went a few days ago and I had a good day. Got to pick out my present from Mike. And I picked this.

It's a Fujifilm Finepix S2000HD (fancy sounding!) and I'm loving it. A whole lot fancier than the one I've been using. Now I have to read the basic manual and then the real operating manual that is too big to print so they put it on a disk. So far I'm mastering the auto function which is just press the button while holding still.

I also had donuts for breakfast (and lunch) and got a gorgeous purply-pink bouquet of minicarnations from my husband, I mean kiddos. Mike had to work that night (that sucked) so we had a quiet dinner (that I cooked while he got to nap) and put our kidlets to bed together. This new shift still sucks since he's gone at night, but it's nice having him home to help with bedtime.

Here's a few of my favorites with my new camera.

Handsome man patiently waiting for breakfast.

Just after naptime and NOT going to smile for Mama.
One of many Maemae expressions.

Little hands

This hangs over our backyard fence from the neighbors. Any idea wth it is? And do I need to worry about the berries dropping into our lawn?

We're settling in nicely. Mike has been organizing the garage and I unpacked the last box in the kitchen today. My sewing area is a disaster, but in an organized way. I still need to unpack and sort my fabric and unpack our office supplies and find a spot for all that stuff, but for the most part, we are done. Until the next time, which going by our latest history, is 11-12 months away.
