Ahh, technology...

Today I finally was able to successfully do something I've been meaning to for a long time, and now that I have I can share some fun things with all of you!

Isn't technology great? I love it. I remember when cell phones were the size of bricks and only the very rich and elite had them. Now, a layman can get one that could produce a feature film and hack into the Pentagon for just a few hundred dollars. Not really, but you catch my drift. And while I don't need to shoot a movie or deploy nuclear weapons, I do love having a camera phone and the ability to take pictures I can use for the background.

Kendra wasn't even 2 hours old when I asked Grant to take one I could send out to everyone...though for some reason that was during a period of time I could neither send or receive pictures. Boo.

Then we captured some of her first smiles at church one day when I didn't have my camera on me...alas, it's a little blurry as babies are wont to be in motion when they're awake. :)

Once she was about a month old, we started a daily tradition I LOVED. We took a nap together every morning and when she woke up, I'd lay on my side and sit her in the crook of my lap and play with her. It was so much easier to cope with the sleep deprivation when I had these moments to look forward to...

And I've learned that the pictures that work best for being wallpaper on my phone are centered a little differently than I normally would, so there's lots of space on top where the clock, battery level and signal strength are displayed, but we can still squeeze in some cute smiles.

I make sure to put up a new one every couple of months and this is the one I've currently got. She's so fun!

It's a fun and sentimental journey to click through the pictures on my phone and see how they're a scrapbook of my life. But for me the best part is the very first photo I took when I got the phone two years ago. I was hanging out with my boyfriend and snapped a smile from him that became not just the first picture on my phone, but the first one I used as wallpaper...

Turns out, he's even more special to me now. :)
