Our girl has some new bling. She wanted it done so bad, well without it being done. She was a bit scared to get her ears pierced, but she finally decided to go ahead. She did cry, but within just a few minutes she was talking about how much she loved them. While I didn’t care whether or not she had it done, I am proud that she overcame her fear and pushed through to do something she’s wanted done. Shockingly, Knut has been all for her getting her ears pierced for awhile, but I wanted her to wait until I knew that she was responsible enough to keep them clean and take care of them like she should. I know she’s only 6, but she’s proven herself to be up for the task.
I also took my camera into a repair shop today. I found out my camera had no damage at all, just the lens. Then I found out it would cost $75 for them to send it out to get looked at to see if it could be repaired, and $60 to buy a used replacement. Guess which choice I picked. I had to take about 100 photos when we got home just to catch up. I have to admit, I just love the sound of the shutter.
O, and I got a chance to look at other lenses while I was there. Uff da, this is an expensive hobby. But it’s so cool!

January 27, 2011 at 1:10 pmI bought a new lenses for my camera this past week.It is a 50mm portrait lenses, so light and it takes beautiful pictures. I have my eye on a telephoto lenses about 75mm-200mm IS, but that will have to wait. It is expensive! I also bought a Puffer. It is this neat thing you place over the flash to disperse the flash, making it softer rather than giving you that harsh look. It is a very inexpensive accessory for the camera. I’ve decided to keep my ‘want’ list to a minimum and enjoy what I have. I think once I have the other lenses that will be it! I completely understand how you can go crazy with camera stuff. I use a Canon 40D. My husband surprised on our anniversary with this wonderful gift. It was a ‘gentled’ used camera from a friend.
Silje looks great in her earrings. Glad to hear she pushed through her fear and took the plunge!
