a happy mama.

I have four amazing children.

I have an almost perfect husband.

I was blessed with an amazing mother.

My husband was blessed with an amazing mother.

And I know I should be posting about all of that and what it does to my heart this Mother's Day 2011.

BUT.

I can't.

I'm too distracted.

'cause those amazing children and almost perfect husband, for Mother's Day, got me this:

OH. YES. THEY. DID.

I cried on our way out of the camera store.

This is so special to me!

I've been dreaming of a camera like this for many years now. Years.

I'm signed up for some classes, I've been playing with it endlessly and researching and researching and researching all the other little 'pieces' that go along with her.

Yes, it's a her.

I don't know her name yet but stay tuned.

pictures to come ;-)

in the mean time, I'm a happy mama!
