More Pictures...

Heather and I took the kids to the pool today, and I figured out how to take pictures in sepia and black & white, so here are some more pictures...

New Camera and NH Pics

I finally bought a camera to replace my Canon digital Rebel that has not worked since jamuary; this one is a Canon Powershot s95, my first non SLR digital camera. Aside from the nifty feature of being small enough to put in my pocket, the camera has tons of different settings including black & white, ultra vivid, poster-izing effect, color accent (black & white except for the selected color of your choice) as well as having settings for shooting in snow, at the beach, underwater, fireworks, and one for shooting fast moving subjects such as kids and pets.

We went to New Hampshire yesterday, so I got to try out my new camera and Charlie and Amelia had lots of fun with family friends' eight year old twins, who were up visiting for the day as well. Here are some pics of the day trying out some of the special effects of the camera...

Yum...

Charlie, Amelia & Kyla

My friend Katie came over this morning for a playdate with the kiddos and her 4 month old daughter, Kyla. Here is a cute picture she took of the three kids on the couch.

Flag Day

Charlie saw his first fireworks last night at Quincy's Flag Day celebration. Even Amelia seemed to like them, or at least not to be too traumatized by them, even though it was way past her bedtime. Charlie even ran into a few friends there too. Here are a few pics, of fireworks, Charlie and Anthony, and of Mike camped out on the grass with the kids.

Good Witches

CHARLIE: "There's no such thing as bad witches, Mom, only good witches?"
ME: "There's no such thing as good witches either."
CHARLIE: "Yes there is!! Didn't you tell me you met a good witch in a castle once?"
