School Picture Day, and I got a new LENS!!

Today is school picture day for Sadie, Jon and Lenard. So they all got new shirts, and last night the boys got haircuts. I take so many pictures, that I dont buy the school ones, but I still like them to go looking nice for them...and I usually buy a class photo anyhow.

Yesterday I got a new lens for my camera - to replace the one I dropped on our 4th of July trip. I wanted a good "walk around" lens. I looked and read reviews, and I chose a Canon EF 28-135mm IS USM. I love the image stabilization feature, and the mid range zoom which will be good for most situations. I still have my 70-300 zoom with image stabilization if I need it. I am excited to learn about it and play with it some more (and take it to Disneyland in THREE WEEKS!!!). It was a good excuse to snap some pics of the kids before they left for school today :)



Not much scrapping going on here.....correction....absolutely no scrapping at all going on around here!! However, I did win a layout contest last month (with a previously designed layout) and I spent my prize winnings on some new paper!! YUMMY. Got some FUN Halloween stuff....so maybe, just maybe I can pull out some pictures soom and get some cute pages done!
