3 pictures I can't get enough of

#1
Dr. Alissa
#2
Dr. Abby
It just so happens that I'm going through my Pediatrics class right now and pics #1 and #2 are PERFECT theme pictures to decorate my school folders. I love showing off my nieces to all my fellow classmates.

#3
Handsome Haven and Lovely Lauren
This gorgeous pic of these two gorgeous babies (siblings of above nieces, so a.k.a nephew and niece) make me smile every time I open my computer (it is currently serving as my desktop at home). I look at this picture which to me emanates complete contentedness and love.

**These are my sisters kids - she is amazing at photography and picture editing and I can't get enough of all the perfect moments she captures ~ of course this means I'm constantly yoinking (is this a word?) her photos :) Thanks sis!**

New Camera

Part of the treat to ourselves before we went on our post-summer/pre-fall semester vacation was to purchase a new camera - my 2005 Kodak camera was just not cutting it anymore. We purchased a Panasonic Lumix from Costco. Now, we are not anything near camera/photography experts, but we L.O.V.E. this thing. It's perfect for what we needed ~ small enough to carry around for all-purpose use and the pics turn out pretty good, plus it has some fun features.

I was trying to hurry up and learn this new technology before we left on vacation so I was taking pictures of EVERYTHING lol Here are some of those oh-so-pointless pics :)

This is probably my favorite pic of my Chet-ster. I love how he's peeking out from under his bangs...yes, our dog has bangs
This is my self proclaimed mascot at work. Really I just like to look at it after having to deal with a difficult/mean/angry patient and then daydreaming about becoming green and powerful
My workin' legs
Self Portrait: I call it "Chompers"
This is our pepper plant from our garden ~ de-lish!
Garden Lantern
Scratching
I really liked the "film grain" feature, hence all of the black and white - it just seemed to make everything look better.
