New Lens

I got a fun new 50 mm fixed lens for my camera and so I've been playing with it the last couple of days! Some ladies asked for some pics of our feet (you know... "how beautiful are the feet...") so I got a little carried away taking feet pictures :) You can see Aashini's cute little anklets (on her cute chubby feet!) :) In our area of South Asia, they give kids these anklets when they start walking (I think so that they can hear where they are) :) So, we bought some before we left to give her when she starting walking... she thinks they're cool :)
My cool friend Lea has almost the same lens that I do and taught me a fun trick tonight - so I had to try it out! I was too lazy to pull out the tripod (and make it look even cooler) but this still looks really cool :) These are the lights on our tree - I made them look like stars! Fun hunh?

Those baby anklets are so cool! Sort of like cowbells for babies. I want some for Abby. And I love your toe rings. Great photos!

I love little baby feet pics. I know Aashini isn't technically a baby though, but she's still got the little toesies! I love the ankle bracelets!! Wish I had thought ahead for Hazel!

hey for everyone else who loved those anklets (and who has a daughter to put them on... sniff), I saw that baby steals has some today. this is apparently the cambodian version but it's pretty similar. pretty anyway. http://www.babysteals.com/20081219_baby_emi_jewelry.php

That's really cool how your new lens made the lights look like stars!

I think it's funny that someone would consider it necessary to put jingly anklets on a baby to hear where they are...My kids are so noisy, I never lose them. No anklets required!! :) They do LOOK really cute though!

Love the feet shots, and I love taking those cool shots with my
35mm camera. I have a small Nikon digital, but just does not take the cool effect pictures. One day I'll get a 35mm digital.
Keep up the great pictures.

I love my 50mm too! Great shots!
What fun pictures! Aashini's anklets are too cute. How long do babies wear them?

Ah- you got a new lens! You'll have to tell me what you think about it sometime soon!! That's one I've been looking at for awhile now! I can't wait to hear all your input! Love the feet pics- you know I have a passion for those little toes too!

Campa Cola & Exploring :)

Today we had some things to do in the Central part of our city, so while we were there, we decided to take on some adventures :) Adventure #1 - the underground market. This market is pretty crazy. It's actually underground and has electronics & clothes mostly. They sell things pretty cheap, so it's an interesting place to go. Today we got an 64 Gig flash drive/pen drive for about $5. Crazy hunh? Here's Adam and Aashini in one of the stores. They're all REALLY small stores - about 10x10 feet I would guess (but I'm really bad at guessing that sort of stuff :)) We go here a lot to get things, so I guess it's not a new adventure, but an adventure nonetheless. Before the next part of our adventure (the real part of our adventure) we stopped for lunch. Aashini will always eat at McDonalds, so that's where we went :) They just started selling chicken nuggets here at McDonalds, so it's super easy to get her to eat there :) This McDonald's had high chair

Starbucks!

 Starbucks opened in our city last night!!  I'm not a huge coffee drinker... but I was excited about the opening!!  (I think I like Starbucks because of all the green! haha!... Aashini and Diya think the mermaid on the logo looks like me... haha! Maybe it's the weird wavy hair :)... not sure :) ) Anyway, we got there and the line was SUPER long!  The wait time was about 45 minutes!!!  There were so many people there!!!  I tried to get a pic of all the people... (that's why this picture is at an annoying angle... I was trying to get it all in in between the columns :))    Here's Aashini doing a jumping picture!!  The girls tried to do a jumping picture :) haha!  haha!  They had a few spills along the way :)  I never got them both jumping :)  Stuff for sale....  OK, one more because I think they are cute :) haha!  People waiting in line :) Some friends that made it inside! :)  We decided not to wait in line... So we'll

Funny Things - Age Appropriate?

Just wondering... but who thought that putting a HUGE Super scary picture right over the playground was a good idea??  hahahaha!!!  My kids were terrified! :) haha!
