new camera!

It's back!


...And pretty much the same as ever.

I had been holding out thinking I would get a real live camera, with real live lenses, but then I realized I have a home and four kids that need food, clothing, shelter, life saving medicines, and silly bands, and I realized that a fancy schmancy camera is not a need. (boo)

So here I am, one cute Canon point and shoot later:



The kids were thrilled to be subjects for me again...




For like, five whole minutes.





But I have commenced the documenting here and on my picture a day blog.

Things you are going to see more of than you ever possibly hoped to:

Sleeping children.




Partially tooth-filled smiling children.




And children who are in the whole it's awkward to be told to smile phase:



So thanks all you friends and friends of friends and complete strangers for sticking with me through my camera-less existence. It's nice to know you were just hanging around for the words.






It's either that or a chance at glimpsing this irresistible mug:







I know, I know... it's the words.

The words are what keep me going throughout the day. The pictures are just bonus features. Like when you go to the mall to shop for some shoes and you walk by Ben & Jerry's and you notice that it's free ice cream day. Bonus!

Just like that.
