I usually learn things pretty quickly, but it's taken me quite a while to even be able to take pictures that I like. It's most definitely a work in progress, but at least it's work that's progressing! For example:

Yay! My camera has arrived!!!
I'm so excited. I also have SO, SO much to learn. I still can't take a decent picture without letting the camera "auto" set. Lot's of new words to try and remember from 7th grade gifted class when we all learned to use real cameras and develop our own pictures. Yeah, five kids and several years later that info seems to be lost. Today I'm just going to show some old camera/new camera pics of my kiddos. Enjoy! And feel free to 
comment.
My youngest boy, the 
sweet, cuddly child of my heart.
Sweet, isn't he? He's definitely a charmer. On valentine's day he managed to talk a bunch of 4th graders out of their candy by being so darn cute they couldn't resist!
My "middlest" child. She's number 3 of 5 with an older sister and brother and a younger sister and brother. Lucky her!
The marks from her arms are from her sucking her arm in her sleep. Since she was a baby she's always sucked on her middle and ring fevers. Apparently that's not as cool when you're 10, so she quit sucking her fingers, but wakes up with her arm in her mouth.
This pic is just here because G, oldest and I look SO darn young and sweet (we were only 21). Plus G has hair and it's kind of hard to remember him with hair since I believe he was balding when we met in EIGHTH grade. Poor guy, good thing he's nicer than me. And ever so lucky to have such an adoring wife.
Yes, I know there are 3 kids missing, but they can wait until another day (and hopefully better pics). None of these pictures have been edited at all, since I haven't mastered that either. Still, there is a HUGE difference between the old and new cameras, don't ya think?
Yes, I know it's a train wreck, but that's how I learn!
