New snapshot digital...

The previous pics from the pumpkin carving are from my new digital snapshot camera, the Nikon coolpix 3200. It is a 3.2 megapixel camera bought just for snapshots and web posts. I can carry it in my pocket and it is such a cool little camera. I hope to get some fun out of this camera.

I looked at some 5 mega pixel camera's and decided this was all I needed. I do have all my professional cameras for real portraits, but sometimes I don't take along a camera for family snapshots due to the size of the professional camera's I use. This should do the trick.

I thought this would be a cool Halloween portrait for us to do. It was a lot of fun and wacky at the same time. A very good day!

Every pumpkin has to start at the drawing board. Becky is hard at work finishing the last touches before her pumpkin goes under the knife!

Talia digs in!

Talia is busy getting the "guts" out of her pumpkin. It's a slimmy job, but everyone has to do it. I love doing projects like this, it's great family time!

We had about 10 pumpkins left-over from our pumpkin patch special and decided to carve some pumpkins. It was sooo much fun! We have not done this in a few years. We picked three just right pumpkins for our wacky family portrait, which I will post later.

Back from Utah

I made it back from Utah in one peice. I was begining to wonder if I would make it out of DFW due to some thunder storms causing some dealys. I've been home a week and i have not even had a chance to look at my pics. I hope to do that next week. I will upload my complete journal in a few days I hope. It will take some time to retype it from my paper journal.
