Budding Photographer

For her birthday, Willow really wanted her own camera.  A good one is out of her birthday money price range, but i suddenly remembered that a family friend had given us a cheap camera while back--i put it away because i lacked the patience required for its slow shutter speed and lack of quality, but have since realized it's a perfect starter camera.  Here are a few of the results:


As you can see, the quality is rather dismal, but i think she's got some talent with composition!

Injury Update

Today Willow saw the orthopedist.  He confirmed everything we already knew, and had a very talented nurse put on a new, better cast.


This one will stay on for three weeks.




We're very happy with this cast, because it allows much more mobility in the fingers--she can play video games again!  


I'm proud of how self-sufficient she has been throughout this whole ordeal; she will not allow anyone to help her any more than normal (which is not at all), and never complains about how difficult it is to maneuver things with one good arm.  She's my tough little gal.
