No More Pictures, but there's still Spontaneity

It's true. I don't know for how long, but I will not be able to add any pictures with our posts for a while. Our camera broke. We can't get the lense to fully extend so it can't focus. We can still download the pictures we already have, we just can't take any new ones. We are trying to find a new camera right now. We would like a waterproof camera (ideally up to 33 ft) but so far those have been out of our price range (which isn't very big with Daddy being in school). Of course right after the camera broke Tink did some really cute things last night. Daddy was slowly passing his hand over his face and making a different funny face as his hand passed. Tink loved it and laughed hard and then she tried doing it and mimicked the faces Daddy was making. Daddy was the first to say he wished the camera was working so we could take pictures or video of her doing that. She was awfully cute!!! Then Daddy helped me clean the kitchen after dinner and we went for a walk as the sun was setting. It was beautiful and NOT hot. We had a fun time together with Tink walking in between us and holding both of our hands. As we got back to our house I suddenly had the urge to do a cartwheel. I laughed about my wanting to do that to Daddy and he encouraged me to go ahead and try it. I was so nervous! I was afraid that it had been entirely too long since I had done a cartwheel and that I would fall right on my face. Well, Daddy and Tink waited and cheered me on and so after getting into the cartwheel start stance for the 5th time I finally went for it. I was so proud of how well I did that I did another and another and another. Tink laughed so hard and said "Go Mommy! Yeah Mommy! You did it!" Then she wanted to try so Daddy grabbed her around the waist and spun her all the way around. Once again she loved that and Daddy had to do it again and again. Then Tink wanted to try on her own. She ended up almost doing a somersault but landed sideways. She was so proud of herself anyways. I love spontaneous moments with my family even without a camera.

She sounds so cute. I bet Grandma wishes you had a camera too.
