Decisions, Decisions

I have been teetering on the fence for days now, trying to make up my mind about what camera to get.  Do I get the Canon Rebel XSi (a DSLR) or the Canon PowerShot S90 (a point & shoot)?  Do I want the phenomenal cosmic power of the bigger camera?  Or the convenience of the smaller one, even if it means sacrificing photo quality?  I've vacillated back and forth between the two so much that I've made myself dizzy.  And all the while I've deliberated, I've been missing awesome photo opportunities.

Thanks to a helpful nudge from Corinnea, however, I've fallen off the fence and landed squarely on the side of the Rebel.  It's more expensive (bigger, better things usually are) and it's size might be a bit cumbersome, but I've decided it's worth it to get the more powerful camera.  I take most of my pictures at home anyway, and size won't be an issue there.  And when we do travel, Brandon will be around to help me carry everything. Once we've had it for a while, we'll evaluate whether we should acquire a smaller, more convenient camera that I can carry around in my purse.  Right now I'm just happy to have made a decision.  I'm going to order it today.  Yay!

Elora is feeling more like herself now.  She's still coughing, and she's still stuffy, and she still has twin streams of yellow goo running from her nose, but at least she's acting more normal.  She's playing on her own again, and jibber-jabbering and laughing.  She still won't eat her baby food though.  I've switched to giving her regular food that she can feed herself, and I'm having more success with that.  Granted, half of it ends up on the floor, but at least she's consuming something more than formula.  I hope she doesn't relapse!
