My baby boy woke up a 3 year old today.
He woke up to a train table in the kitchen. That I was up until nearly midnight putting together last night. While doing laundry in my washer that was delivered at 7 last night.
All that chaos, yet the party must go on. And we must have cupcakes.
Here’s to a fabulous year of being 3. Love you, buddy!
I realize I got a little carried away with photos. I got a new lens yesterday, so you’ll have to forgive me.
i was just thinking these photos looked really good!! a new lens – do tell? what did you get? and Happy Birthday!!!!!

I have a Nikon D40X and got the 35mm 1.8. It’s my first lens purchase since getting the camera with a kit lens a year ago. I think I like it!
