New Camera = Random Pictures

We finally have us a new camera. Our camera had been trying to die for over a year now and I've had a hard time knowing what to replace it with. I wasn't sure of which features were most important to me other than I wanted it to be easy to take great pictures. I did buy one during the after Thanksgiving sales, but was very unhappy with it and returned it. Since then, I've just stalled since my other camera works most of the time. I figured we better just dive in and pick one or else my luck would be that our camera wouldn't work when trying to capture those first moments of life of our new baby. I finally decided on a Canon with 10x zoom since it seemed every picture I took lately everyone was so far away and since the megapixels were so bad I didn't have the choice to crop it later. Anyway, I have loved this camera so far - for outdoor pictures anyway. Here are some of the random things we've been up to lately:
Dylan just learned to trust his water-wings and has had so much fun swimming!

Dad has been into a little painting project lately (see pictures below). Since Dylan thinks painting is great too, it was time to invest in some water-colors rather than wasting all the craft paints. Easier clean-up too!

Dylan being silly. Notice his new watch. Since both mom and dad wear a watch, he has been telling us for quite some time that we needed to buy him one...isn't that the answer to everything..."just buy one"?

Tonight Dylan wanted to play soccer and he insisted that I take pictures. No problem since I was feeling much to lazy to play too.

Random picture of dad...what a hunk!

Dylan LOVES bugs. That's what he is admiring here.

Dylan's creation with the craft paints. That's why we've moved to water-colors.

Dad's painting project. Can't wait to see the finished product. (Thanks to Melissa Wood for the inspiration!)

As a final note, yes my due date is tomorrow. Yes, our little guy will go overdue. How long?...your guess is as good as mine. My doctor is willing to let me go up to 2 weeks over. YIKES! Before my doctor appointment on Wednesday I hadn't had any real contractions - just the Baxton Hicks. Since then, I've started to have some (nothing major), but I'm hoping that means something is happening to get my body ready to deliver this little guy (probably not so little anymore). We'll see at my appointment on Monday. Keep your fingers crossed for me!!
