Got my new lens!
My new lens arrived Wednesday. I have been trying to shoot with it ever since. It has been hard though as the light has not been great and all the wildlife seems to have gone into hiding. I have managed to get a few shots that I like though and they can all be seen here.

Vacation, 4th of July, and my new camera lens!
So a lot has happened since my last post. I didn't realize that it was over 3 weeks ago. Oooopppsss!
Aleisha is doing well. She is having a hard time getting into the bed at night so we borrowed some steps from her mom. She has pretty bad heartburn at night and is tired, as expected, but she is hanging in there.
Haley has been sleeping in her big girl bed. She is also getting us up during the night to use the bathroom. We still have a few things left to do in her room, but it looks very nice.
So we went on vacation to Holden Beach a few weeks ago. We stayed at a house that John and Cindy rent each year. We can walk to the beach from the house and we usually have lots of fun. This year was no different, but Aleisha was a little uncomfortable due to the heat. And it was hot! We had a breeze the last few days but our first day down there was quite warm. For the first time since we started going down there it did not rain. Usually we would get at least one afternoon thunderstorm. There are pictures from our trip here. One of my favorites is this one.
I was also able to go and get some sunrise shots and those can be seen here.
For the 4th of July we went over to John and Cindy's to spend the day in the pool. It was very nice. We had BBQ and just enjoyed the day with family. Haley loved eating the cupcakes that Mary brought.
After the food was served we went to Pine Lake Country Club to watch some fireworks. It was a nice show, but Haley was done after about 15 minutes. She ended up falling asleep in Aleisha's lap and we left early. The shots from the 4th are here.
When we were at the beach I was able to go down to the waterway to try and photograph some water birds. I spent about two hours taking pictures and had lots of fun. But after getting back and reviewing the pictures I was disappointed that they were still too far away. So after selling some other camera gear I have bought a new lens. It should be here next week and I can't wait to try it out.
Until next time!
