A New Member of the Family

A Nikon D5000

John's dad, better known as David, bought us a NEW beautiful camera for a birthday/anniversary/Christmas present. He'll never have to buy us anything again, though I know he'll still continue to spoil his grandson.

As John said today, "That's a whole lotta camera!" and I have to agree. I am really excited about the camera, but know nothing about digital SLRs, so I'm going to have to learn little by little. Luckily, it also has an automatic option too, so I can take pictures while I learn all the manual options. I did play around with it today in Gigi and Grandpa's backyard. It was fun, but I've got a lot to learn. It felt like a pro toting the big camera around my neck and listening to the rapid shutter noise, though my photos fall short of professional quality or artistic style. But, I'll keep practicing!

Here are some shots from today - after I deleted about 150.

Who are Los Lemleys?

Los Lemleys are John, Julie, Maximo and Lola. We're currently living on Rokko Island in Kobe, Japan. Here we write about our happenings and share photos of our life abroad.

We started blogging in 2007 when we had to keep family and friends updated on what was going on with our premature baby.

Over a year later, we transitioned from the Lo Maximo blog to Los Lemleys where you'll find vignettes of our lives as we travel, move, teach, and raise our third culture kids.

Disclaimer: This is NOT a cultural or literary masterpiece, nor is it intended to be. It's a way for us to document our adventures for our family and friends. It'll hopefully be something Maximo & Lola can look back on, since their baby book is a bit bare and she only has a meager folder with ultrasound photos and a legal document or two.
