After work I came home and took Eva to the front yard to play. She hadn’t been out because she was being a pouty pout. When she gets that way I just pick her up and bring her out. I also took my Nikon D80 camera with me and my Canon SD800is for Eva. Once we got outside we played with bubbles for a bit and then explored the yard together with our cameras. Eva’s a pretty good shot too, when she isn’t putting her fingers over the lens.
After the crazy amount of rain that we received today it was nice to get down to the Cape house to beautiful weather. We made it in time to meet up with our friends Neil and Andrea. Andrea had a blogger 911 issue and I was her go to guy.
Andrea is a fantastic photographer and she is working really hard on her zenfolio site, she also has a blog but doesn’t update as much right now. So we did some domain switching as well as creating a new blog for her. Andrea’s blog is now http://blog.wheelerimages.com. Her zenfolio is now http://wheelerimages.com as well as http://americandreamphotos.com. Check out her stuff especially if you love sailing.
When we arrived at the Cape my parents had a couple of surprises for Eva. My dad had assembled the Goldilocks bed and my mom dug out my sister’s old My Little Pony comforter as well as Strawberry Shortcake blanket. Eva was very excited about it but she is still a crib sleeper. I say let her sleep in the bed it is less than a foot off the ground and she’s already taken her 1st tumble from it and remains unscathed. But we’ll probably have to find a gate or something for it.
Tonight I almost freaked out because I put my memory card in my camera and I don’t see a photo count. Then I try and take a photo and I get a [CHA] message blinking. What the heck is this now? I think to myself. So I try and format the memory card (didn’t have much on it just the last few day’s photo-a-day images) and the camera showed the card as formatted but still showed the [CHA] message. Not Good. So I tried the memory card from my Sanyo Xacti E1. That memory card was all screwed up from the Sanyo so I formatted it and was able to take photos with it no problem. I did a search for flashing CHA on Nikon D80 and found Cheeky Grin had the same issue once. So I read the post and slid the lock back and forth re-inserted the card and low and behold it works fine. I just checked it on my laptop and the images are all still there. I was very happy not to have lost the images or the brand new 16GB card. The 1st one would be annoying, the second would have been tragic.
Oh and fantastic news!!! Allison and I are now and Aunt and and Uncle. Our sister-in-law had a beautiful baby girl. We don’t know her name yet but we are also not allowed to post photos or her name. But she is a cutie and we look forward to visiting them soon.
