Mothers Day

2012-05-15 23:23:01 • by Leanne Verkley

My weekend was a full one.  Friday night Brian watched both kids overnight for the first time while I went to Listowel to my cousin Dustin's buck and doe.
Reportedly Brian and the kids did well.
Saturday I had brunch with my mom and brother followed by an afternoon visit with my dad, grandma and papa.
That night the kids were SO HAPPY to see me.
Sunday morning I woke up to breakfast in bed with my plate decorated with forget-me-nots.  I was also gifted a card that had a decorated envelope with sparkled "mom" and heart stamps on it with a card that read " I love you to pieces".  Inside there were little pieces of paper glued inside a heart.  It also had the words: Love Hadley.   I love receiving her hand-made gifts.
This was followed by us purchasing a new pocket camera.  We had been saving for it and thought it was a great day to go get it.  It is the new Nikon Coolpix S9200. I am hopeful the quicker picture taking will be able to capture pictures of the kids that were seemingly difficult with my Nikon Coolpix p500.
it is quite sleek so it will take some getting used to.
The afternoon was spent up at the property planting some raspberry bushes and then dinner at Swiss Chalet and a DQ Dessert.
It was a beautiful day.  I love spending time with my family.

After finding lots of things not working properly on the camera I returned it and got the Sony hx10. The Nikon wouldn't stop video once I pushed it, then I couldn't select different scene options.
Te Sony hx10 is more similar to my old camera with a few upgrades including faster picture taking. (All the buttons and options seem to work as they should).
