Dinnertime 5/365

A few shots from dinner - we had breakfast for dinner and Lucy was covered in syrup. Check out how Annie is standing up so well! I am so proud of her. Also, I never got around to posting the last shots from one night when John's dad, Adam, was flipping John and Lucy in the bed. It was hysterical and they both loved it so much. Lucy would stay crouched down in the ready position until it was her turn again. And just as a side note, Lucy and John ended up really getting along so well this time. We all said they had a major breakthrough this trip.

I did get the Nikon SB600 flash with some of my winnings from the Indian casino while we were in Oklahoma. I am the luckiest gambler ever. I told Justin maybe we should move to Vegas and I will be a professional gambler. I honestly win every time. Anyway, I really like the flash, especially since my parent's house does not have great natural light but does have great white ceilings to bounce the flash off of. I have wanted an external flash for quite some time since my camera gets really, really noisy at an ISO of any higher than 400 - which drives me absolutely insane. I HATE this about my camera. And since I get asked a lot, I currently use a Nikon D200, but would like to gamble some more to make enough for a D700. :)

yay abt the flash..i know you have been wanting it! i thought that last batch had been taken with a flash. amazing how good they look when you bounce it. it really can be a lifesaver.

you are a rockstar for taking a pic everyday. your girls will love you for it one day.

Dang girl, how much did you win?!?!? Isn't the flash awesome? It's so freeing to feel uninhibited by the environs!! But I'm going to count down the days until you are ready to upgrade because for me, it was like 5 days! LOL It is slllooooow!

I love your New Year's resolution! I really enjoy following your blog and seeing your wonderful pictures of you beautiful girls. I also have to say I am so impressed that you are doing this. I brought my 1st child home from Vietnam in Oct. and I have done such a bad job of taking pictures of everything, I can't imagine trying to do it with 2.

Love all the photos! Geez Kelly you are just a natural with the camera, I love your photos.

I know you've listed these before but I can't find them, so IF you get the time (big IF I know), would you mind posting the photography tip blogs that you visit.

You can tell Annie is so proud of herself and her standing - so cute! And gosh, it's too bad the kids didn't have any fun being thrown around on the bed - they clearly look so sad and bored by it. Ha - those action shots are hilarious!

Happy New Year, your home is full of love, happiness, laughter from your lovely girls, I love Annie 's pictures, she is certainly a happiest baby on earth, and the pictures of two loving sisters are so touching. Amazing photography talent that you have, and I enjoy seeing them everytime.

I think I should go to Vegas with you so I could win enough to buy a flash - or you know, anything to go with my D40. :-)
I LOVE those pictures of the kids in mid-air! Very cool.
