Testing out the new lens

 Yesterday, i had my first night out with out kids in uh...7 months :D. SIL and I had a girls night in the city. We had a nice sit down meal and a movie - it was so nice! Although I did my little ones terribly - I muchly enjoyed the girl time.
Anyhow...while galavanting in the city I executively decided to buy a new lens for our DLSR. It's a 50mm 1.8...I'd really like to get a 1.4 but I'm liking this one so far. Here are some pics I snapped this afternoon, I can't wait to get outside with it!!


oooo I see evil in those eyes!!

I'm enjoying the pretty bokeh (boquet I think is how you say it) - the fuzzy background.
Little miss H inbetween expressions. SO CUTE! But of course I am biased. ;)

Aww now there are those sparkling eyes.
Yes, I too once judged parents of dirty faced kids...now I am one.

I like the lens but it is a little awkard indoors (as I was pre-warned) - to get more than one person in the frame you need to be standing quite a ways back, but other than that it's ++ so far.

And it begins

So here we go. My first post on my very own blog. I never ever thought this day would come - as I have  generally not been a believer in blogs. So why am I here you may ask? It's through my aimless browsing during the moments of the day I have to myself I have come to appreciate the blog. I have found so many interesting patterns and ideas on people's blogs, now I'd like to share/record my own.

Also, now that we have two little munchkins, I often want to record all of those simple and mundane memories and moments that we have....when I think of them or have a spare moment. Perhaps one day they will even make it into their scrapbooks.
So here I am, now with a place to share my own babble about life as a momma, a crafter, a wife, a sister, and a friend.
Wish me luck as I dive into the world of blogging.
