It's official, I'm a "30 Something." On March 21st, another decade of my life came to a close, as did 9 years of reminders from my younger husband (all of four months) that I would be turning 30 years old before him. Though he has incessantly teased and made fun of me, he more than made up for it with a much undeserved birthday gift (seen in picture)-- a new digital SLR Canon Rebel XT. I was so unprepared and overwhelmed to receive such a gift that it took me a while to warm up to the fact that I was holding my very own digital SLR camera, which my loving husband delighted in giving me. However, once the battery was charged and the CF card installed the picture taking began without a moment's hesitation-- I think I took over 300 pictures over the course of the weekend. I can't wait to begin learning how to properly use the manual settings.Saturday was spent leisurely hanging out around the house, going to the park, and grilling out hamburgers. It was very special to have the Whitlocks here on Easter Sunday, as we all reflected on what Christ accomplished on the cross and rejoiced in the resurrection of our Lord and Savior. After church, the Childers joined us for Easter Dinner (lunch).

Happy late Birthday! I have been looking at that camera for awhile. I would LOVE to get one. Maybe for my 33rd b-day. :) Looks like y'all had a great Easter.
We were so glad to come visit. Thank you for having us. The girls were adorable as usual and really good with Isaac. And between the 2 of us I definietly think we took plenty of pictures!
Love,
Katie
Happy Belated Birthday, I really did remember, it was on my calendar, but forgot to email you! Boo!
Love, love, love that camera, it is wonderful! Since you are probably so much better than I am about researching and learning how to use it, maybe you can help me figure some things out!!
Happy Birthday!! Great Pictures.
(Pssst Jimmy, if you read this: Cool Beard. Wish I had a cool beard.)

Nice camera! Really like the "fuzzy" backgrounds and action shots. So many cute grand baby photos:) In your sister pics, you and Katie are looking very much alike. And Daddies, Tim is right about your cool beards...uh oh, they are spreading...Jonathan, Uncle Jimmy, Uncle Gary, Papa Jim, Pastor Tim...look out Uncle Matthew and Uncle Brad!!! Ha!
Love~Grammy
Lori, I'm scheduling my kids for a photo shoot when you come to visit! Awesome camera. I also really like the fuzzy backgrounds and that one of Madeline walking between the huge red and yellow things was neat. As for Matthew having a beard, if he wanted one he could have it by tomorrow night! I keep trying to get him to do it just to see what it would look like!
happy birthday! i'm trying not to covet your camera. i'm enjoying the new look here! if you are still looking into homeschooling stuff- go to www.sonlight.com and get their new catalog sent to the house- it has lots of good info on homeschooling in general and a wonderful book list (even if you don't order from them, you can find a lot of the books at the library) let me know what you think!- catalog is avalible online starting april 1
I'll admit it... I am jealous of your new camera!! now I can't wait to get one! Happy Birthday!
Oh girl, you know that's the kind of camera I wanted! Jonathan is so sweet to surprise you like that. Maybe if I can prove to Tom that I can actually get photos developed instead of just leaving them on my computer I can get one some day. Happy Birthday!
