Well, it has been a long time coming, but we finally invested in a DSLR camera. We are sooo excited about it! We have been going back and forth, trying to decide on a Canon or a Nikon. After a lot of research, we decided to go with the Nikon D300. It is AWESOME! We still have A LOT to learn about it, but the little bit that we have been able to mess with it, we have seriously fallen in love.

Here are a few pictures that we have taken.


Roxie keeps us on our toes...stay tuned and you will see why....

Sophie girl...oh man...she is a monster. A cute monster though.

Usually we put Roxie in her kennel when we leave the house. We have been slowly letting her stay outside of the kennel. We started with 10 minutes, up to 30 minutes, up to an hour. Now she can stay in there all day. She was doing pretty well for about a month but one day this week she took some major steps back. I came home for lunch, went up stairs to let Roxie out, opened the door and saw money ripped to shreds all over the floor! She immediately knew she was in trouble! After I got mad at her, I decided I needed to take a picture. She felt really bad. Anyway, after picking up all the tiny pieces and trying to put them back together, we found out it was only 3 dollars. She no longer stays in the room...we have reverted back to her kennel.

Smokey is loving life. She has plenty of room in the house to avoid any other specie of any kind.
We hope all of you out there have a wonderful 4th of July holiday weekend!
