AM was an Angel on the plane and she was very excited to see Papa's house. She confirmed this with me at least 5,000 times on the plane ride over.
AM was so happy to see Papa and A-ma at the airport. It's too bad I didn't have my camera out. She gave them the biggest hug.
This below is my old rocking chair, AM loved it.
She also loved this creepy sweet baby. The baby belonged to my Grandmother. It's probably like a 100 years old. Well, I'm not sure if it's that old, but it is old. I guess I should be proud that AM doesn’t discriminate with baby dolls – she loves them all. I on the other hand was never a big baby doll person.
We also went to this little train exhibit in my parents neighborhood. It was all decked out and really cute. AM got a kick out of it.
Oops. Maybe I shouldn't post this picture, but it makes me laugh. There is no fewer than 100 pictures of Jamie as a kid doing the same thing, it's how he use to play soccer.
It was a nice weekend trip and AM keeps talking about it.
Annmarie and I went to the newly renovated Potrero Hill Branch Library on Sunday and picked up our new library cards.
Annmarie picked out three books to take home. I have feeling she is not going to like it when we have to return the Wheels on the Bus book.
Check out the view. 
I have not been a user of the Public Library system in quite some time. I love LOVE buying new books. I love bookstores; am captivated by book cover art and love the feel of new books. But in an effort to save some money, I'm going to try and use the library. It's also a great resource to get books on CD.

P.S. Did you notice AM's new haircut? Post about that forthcoming.
I learned a lot about my camera, lenses, ISO, exposure, aperture, shutter speed, composition and a lot more. All the stuff I have read about, but never really understood.
For example, I learned why things like this happen.
While I learned a lot about my camera and how to use it, I also realize that it takes a lot more than knowing how to use your camera to get a 'good' shot. You also have to have an eye for it. It's truly an art. Also, having the right lenses and equipment makes a big difference. I still have the stock lens my camera came with and I am looking to upgrade it. I'm now in a better place to go back and read some of the advice I have read on the internet and different blogs and make a decision about which lens to buy. I'm glad I just didn't go out and buy one before the workshop. All this can get pretty expensive and I'll need to stay within a budget.
I'm glad I invested in the workshop and there is a part II and III to Augie's workshop that I'm interested in taking in the future. I first want to play around with what I learned, buy a new lens, and see how I improved. I still need a lot of practice. I don't expect to have professional looking photo's, but I hope to get the most out my camera and our memerios. Because that is what is most important to me. I realize getting the 'perfect' shot is not always going to happen.
Also, if you are interested-some of the blogs I have found useful can be found-here, here and here.-----
On another note spring has appeared to have sprung around here already. Everything is starting to bloom.
(I could improve this pic in photoshop, something else I may need to get.)
Here are my resolutions for 2010. My To Do's! I stopped at a page, I probably could have kept going. I left out all the home improvement stuff Jamie and I should do this year. And omitted some of the more personnel life choices Jamie and I will make this year. Like maybe leaving S.F. Sniff. Sniff.
