50 Years

Last night we attended the 50th Anniversary celebration of Paul's parents. We're on the road traveling right now, but here is a pic for now...it was taken in the vestibule of St. Paul's Church after they renewed their wedding vows...

Paul's New Camera

In 2004 we went on a trip to Italy. So we bought a Sony DSC-T1, an impresively small camera (smaller than a deck of cards). It is a 5 mega-pixel camera with a large 2.5" screen on the back. In daylight it takes great pictures but in low(er) light it doesn't do so well. As an aside, it was with the DCS-T1 that Paul filmed "The Fur King" and "Spicer Castle Bed & Breakfast"

So Paul convinced himself he needed a new camera (not wanting to miss any special moments with Sammy in the evening that should be caught in a picture). He called his brother and quickly came to the conclusion that for a "nicer" camera he'd go with a digital SLR. That way he can buy lenses as he wants and when he upgrades the body (years from now), he already has the lenses. Since his brother David has a Nikon D50 Paul decided to get the same thing. So off to Best Buy Paul went (Wal-Mart does not carry this camera!).

Armed...er...equipped his new toy, Paul took a few pics of Michele, Sammy, and his niece Ana and nephew Noah today.

Sammy...our pride and joy

Ana...always full of smiles.

Noah smiles alot too...
