New Camera!!

Yeah! Our new camera arrived this week, so we're back in business. We (well, really it's just me, Marla, but let's pretend we share) chose to get an upgraded Sony Cybershot, the W120, so that the old battery and memory sticks work, plus we don't have to learn a new menu. It's working well so far. In addition to excellent still shots, it has improved video capabilities. So here's a little taste of how we used it today:

Technical Difficulties

My camera broke 1.5 weeks ago -- so it might be a little while before I have new photos to post. I'm trying to figure out which new camera to get. I need to hurry up before I miss more shots like this one:

Just Us!

I've been a little behind on my photo-processing and uploading... we've been too busy with fun summer activities, like camp, swimming lessons and the like.

I've been meaning to post a few pics of Mark and my weekend away. Grandma and Grandpa took the boys and we went off to Wilmington, a nice little town about two hours west of Raleigh. We walked around the historic river front, toured the Bellamy Mansion, enjoyed a cruise up the Cape Fear River, dined at a restaurant with tablecloths and wine glasses, learned about the local haunts during a Ghost Tour... We also checked out Wrightsville Beach before heading home on Sunday morning. The best part was being "just us" for 32 hours, although we did miss our little guys.

Jon and Alli's Wedding

This past weekend we drove to Atlanta to attend the wedding of cousin Jon and his bride Alli. To make a long story short, we had planned on just Marla and Mason flying but due to a reservation error, all four of us made the 7-hour trek by car. It was worth it -- Mason had a blast with his cousins at the rehearsal dinner and the wedding reception. Following are a few highlights from the trip; for a full photo recap, check out this SHUTTERFLY LINK.
