I drove my mom to the airport today. Seven days with my mom is definitely not enough time, but I enjoyed every second of it. I’ll be spending the next few days trying to catch up on the tasks I’ve been avoiding while Mom and I have been off shopping and eating lunch out and watching all 17 hours of Downton Abbey 
But, really, this post is not about Downton Abbey or my mom or even a two-headed monster-child. This post is celebrating my newest arrival….A Canon 60D
I gathered up a few things to sell on eBay a few weeks ago, and using the profits from those sales along with two $100 eBay gift cards that I won for Mother’s Day, I was able to treat myself to a new camera body – something that was sorely needed. My old 40D was well loved. Over-loved, in fact. It lived a good life, but it has been done for a while now.
I’m excited about the prospects of enjoying my camera again (and not having to rely on borrowing my husband’s all the time). As much as I love his Canon 7D
I guess that’s a long way of saying that I enjoyed taking pictures again this week. That’s something to celebrate. Even if I’m mourning the departure of my mom.

Hahaha look at those silly kids! Time with your mom I’m sure flies by. I haven’t seen my mom in over a year and a half and sure miss her. She has been absent in our life because of her mental illness which breaks my heart. Hooray for a new camera. You have inspired me to finally sell our old barely used baby monitors. Never done ebay but may have to try it. Need some money if I want to get to BlogHer!
haha. too cute!! Yay for new toys!
To cute!
That’s the cutest two headed monster I’ve seen. Your kids are really hillarious.
That is hilarious! What a fun memory!
So clearly I am just going to have to start watching Downtown Abbey. I keep hearing about it everywhere! And that is one seriously cute two headed monster! I love that they are having so much fun together!
YAY! for a new camera (and Downton Abbey…LOVE that show!)!! Sorry your mom time was too short.
Adorable pictures!
Your kids are too cute! So glad your mom had a nice visit.
