Great News! (I think...)

So I took Sheella's  and Jode's advice and I called Canon and they were freaking amazing and told me some things I could do to troubleshoot.  The numbering issue and folder stuff is because of my operating system and not my camera.  Phew!!!!  And he said the error message was maybe because the flash was wanting to come up, but it didn't, which he said the camera would need to go to the factory for repair for that, but I'm not too worried about it anyway.  I mostly take day pics anyway and it is still working.  He also said something about cleaning the contacts, blah blah blah...  I have never ever taken the lens off my camera.  I was soooooooo nervous!

Anyway, I'm hoping we got it fixed-- if not forever, then forever until I get past birthday season! :-D

Ok, now to pics.  So I am planning on taking my friend's daughters' pictures, which I am both nervous and excited about.  You know, I'm not your portrait-y picture taker, so I have told her a gazillion times that the shots would be more natural.  Obviously, I'll have to expand and take the risk and try portrait-y pics, but for now, I'm good just following the kids around and annoying the shit out of them with a camera in their face. 

I took Jonathan to the park on Sunday to meet my friend (her daughter is one of Jonny's classmates).  Bry didn't want to go, and I was so happy to have some one on one time with him.  It's been so long.  I'm not really a fan of the "one on one" time concept, because his reality is that he is no longer an only child, but I do like it when it isn't forced.  

On to the pics!

 

My gorgeous boy.  Enough said. 

 

He fell.  And wasn't happy about it.  

 

From what I know, this is Alyssa's favorite person in the world, and you can tell. <3

 

Amanda.  Yes, you can eat her cheeks.  As if you could resist.
