We just purchased the Canon PowerShot S50, a compact 5 megapixel point-and-shoot that also offers a wealth of manual controls. This camera is ideal for our situation since we love taking pictures at parties, on vacation, and the […]

I’ve been feeling under the weather this week. I caught whatever Jen had last week. I’ve felt really lethargic, congested, sniffly. Night before last I had a really hard time sleeping since my throat was so sore; I kept waking up in the night and couldn’t fall back asleep. So last night I wasn’t taking […]
