I have a new baby

Which is good news but also bad news.

The bad news is that I have this new baby because I lost the old baby. Making any sense? I thought not.

OK, I'll start again. I have a new baby. It's a Canon Ixus 800 IS and is too cute for words. And the reason I've bought it is because I have lost, yes lost, my Pentax Optio, which was one of the smallest camera's ever and would fit in to my jeans pocket.

I've searched high and low for it and know that it went missing whilst we were still living at the rental house. I was sure it would turn up after the move and we'd unpacked all the boxes but sadly no. I know I have my Canon Digital Rebel but it is just too big to lug around for everyday use and I needed a small camera, one I could keep in my handbag.

Richard finally gave in to my nagging and today she arrived. I'm loving some of the features, being a gadget girl. One of which is that when you are viewing the photos on the camera's LCD screen if you then turn the camera round the photo changes so that no matter which way up you hold the camera the photo is always the right way up for you to view. Cool.

Took these photos of the children earlier this evening with it, which were taken without the flash but it has a stabilising mode on it so that it helps to reduce the 'shake'. Oh, and with Noah we're supposed to be looking at his poorly toe!
