Thank you, sis!

Happy Sunday, friends! I hope you are having a fabulous weekend. I am. Just so you know, this is not my typical post.

This weekend, my twin sister and her family came to visit. On Friday, we had a belated birthday celebration. We had a lovely dinner together with our hubbies, as my in-laws graciously watched our two kiddos and their two kiddos. At dinner, she gave me my birthday present. She blessed me with her NikonD90 and a 35mm 1.8D lens. Yes, I am truly blessed by my sister and brother-in-law! My sister has been blessed to buy an even better camera, so I am thrilled to inherit this baby. You will have to be patient with me as I try to improve my photography. There is so much to learn. sigh.

On Saturday evening, after they left, I tried practicing with my new camera. My precious daughter cooperated a teensy bit and I manage to get this photo.



I also snapped a photo of Leah and Joshua laughing at my hubby as he tried to whistle on a blade of grass.

I am truly thankful to my sister and brother-in-law for their generous gift. They are simply amazing!!!




I am also linking this up to simple as that.
