8/1/06 - day 14

today was a good day. mark and i started our day early to have lunch with jong since he's leaving for japan (navy) tomorrow. we had dimsum in chinatown and lia came with us as well. after the much needed msg rush, we drove back to noho to hang out. the weather's not been that bad these days. last two weeks the valley felt like a rotisserie! oh yeah, i got my dream camera today!!! mark and i finally broke down and purchased a canon rebel xt digital SLR camera (yes, the one i blogged about last april 4th!). we needed to retire my itty bitty casio exislim because we need a better cam with high resolution to take pics of Vaughn. we also got a videocam so we can record our baby's milestones (first cry, first laugh, first steps) sigh! we're such excited parents!! this kid is gonna be super spoiled but we already agreed that we're gonna try our hardest to not go overboard. anyway, here are some test shots i did at the baby's room. it's not done yet so i only took pics of the stuff around the room. there's a recurring disney theme in there because well, i work for the company hehehe. the pics are ok...i have to practice, do a lot of reading and really learn to use this camera so i can justify all the money we paid for it =) heeheehee. oh yea, it was also steve's birthday (mark's cousin) today and damon's as well. steve had a mini bbq at his house and damon's probably seething cuz i haven't called him. damon: i didn't forget, i was just really distracted today. i'll call you tomorrow promise! don't be mad =) ok i gotta hit the sack. we're gonna try to pack our day with activities tomorrow as well so we won't think so much about counting the days. i'm really excited to take my camera outside and take pics in natural light! thank you everyone for the encouragement and the texts. i'm almost there!
