Taking Things to A Whole New Level

The quality of pictures on this blog just increased dramatically (I hope)!  I would like to introduce you to the most beautiful camera I've ever seen...the Nikon D90.  This lovely little piece of photography heaven is my graduation gift from my family.  Geez, if I would have known this was waiting for me at the end of grad school, I would have finished in one semester ;)  The only thing it can't do is take a picture of itself, but if it could, it would look even prettier!

Even though I have wanted a digital SLR for what seems like forever, I must say that Aaron and the rest of the family did a great job of orchestrating this because I was completely surprised!  It was definitely the perfect gift.  There is a lot to figure out on this mama jama, but I cannot wait to learn everything about it...
I have never been more excited to read a user's manual in my whole life!!!

So for now, here are a few pics that I have taken this morning just playing around with it.  Yay for fun new toys :)

He looks even cuter now :)
