Sunday Snapshots

These photos were not taken by my Canon but were actually shots from my iPhone 3Gs. And yes, I'm longing for the 4 version but this phone has served me well and is still acting right so, I don't see the need to upgrade so far. 

I'm probably the last to post about this cool iPhone app from hipstamatic that delivers and develops vintage-looking photos with built-in changes of films, flash and lens right in your iPhone. I just love the retro-feel photos that come out no matter what the lighting is available to you at that moment. Best of all, it reminds us of those old cameras (polaroids) in the past and the films it used to develop. 

Happy Sunday~!

Shutterbug

My most wonderful husband gave me a new camera for Christmas and the past few days I have been playing with it and taking pictures of random things inside the house. Thankfully with the pretty holiday decor still up, they make for interesting non-complaining subjects (unlike our 3 year old). I know I have to learn more (despite re-reading the manual) and I'm so excited to explore what this fancy camera is capable of doing. In the meantime, here are some less than stellar (but better than my old point and shoot) shots I was able to take the last few days......

not bad, eh?

Aston and Friends

Aston has been a loyal friend to Thomas and his gang for the past year or so. They've spent quite a lot of time together. They were inseparable. 

they cruised around town together

they watch cartoons together

our little bookworm enjoyed reading rhymes, admiring stickers and singing along with thomas

and during nap times, they dream together

finally, the highlight of their friendship was the celebration of  Aston's third birthday with his best friend Thomas earlier this year!

Too bad, Spiderman took over the love and attention of this "maturing" boy. I kinda miss Thomas.
