my fun new toy

after months of eyeing the nikon D40 and dreaming about owning one, thinking of all the amazing pictures i would take, we finally got our camera today. my sister rachel turned me on to the D40x that is very similar to the D40 but has more megapixels so that is what we decided to purchase. we are so excited to use it. we haven't been able to give it a whirl yet because it needs to charge overnight first, but we are so excited to take a gazillion pictures of our baby girl...the thing that most attracted me to this camera is that it has a million cool features that you can use once you learn how to use them, but until then it takes incredible pictures and is easy to use as a point and shoot...i am also taking classes at inkleys to familiarize myself with the camera and become an expert at taking pictures before baby is born.
