Old vs. New

Not too much has been going on around the Meyer household. This weekend was a nice long and relaxing 4th of July weekend. Friday night we went to dinner and then over to see a friend's new house. Sat. I went to the pool with Kelly (my first pool time of the summer!) and later that night, Nathan and I went to dinner at The Drunken Fish and then to see the movie KNIGHT AND DAY. Sunday (the 4th) we just had my mom over and grilled. We watched the fireworks that our neighbors shot off. Rocco did pretty good with them. He would start shaking at the ones that make a lot of popping noise like gun shots but never cried. Today we just ran some errands and shopped.

We recently bought a new, fancy camera. The reason is because I got a big batch of pictures developed and poor Rocco's eyes looked so crazy in most of them. They look red with black in the middle. And sometimes the black part wouldn't be in the middle but instead off to the side - making it look even crazier. I don't want him to have these kinds of baby pictures or to grow up not wanting his picture taken so we bought a Digital SLR with a flash attachment. This way we can angle the flash so it's not right in his eyes and the pictures show the true color of his eyes (or pretty darn close). We're still learning how to use it best but I can tell a huge difference already. I'll post some pictures from the old camera and some with the new. Nathan tested it out at one of Graham's baseball games too so I'll post some of those also.

OLD CAMERA (You don't see the black dots that I was talking about b/c that happens when I would get them developed. But the red eyes are from the direct flash to the eyes.):

NEW CAMERA (Still learning with the flash attachment. More to come later.):

Love this one. Rocco looks best in blue!
