I want a new camera

I am not sure how old my current camera is, maybe 4 years old, but I am ready for a new one. The one I currently have is good for throwing in my pocket for on the go shots like when we are at the park, but I am ready for something better. I see the pics my dad's camera takes and they are better and then yesterday I was down at my cousin, Jaime's house and used her camera and loved how the pictures looked.
Yes, I know there is a recession and we are building up on our house so extra cash is not easy to come by now, but I believe I will save up some money and hopefully in a few months, maybe a year :) I will have a new camera to take better pics.

I'm finally back to blog

Well I finally am sitting down to enter another entry. I am not doing it as often as I had hoped but, will continue to try.
We are finally settled into my grandmother's house and are awaiting final approval for permits for the go ahead on our house expansion. We are hoping to have final word and the go ahead this week; it's only about 2 weeks later than we thought. I don't care as long as the work can be done and we can get back into the house by summer's end.

As for the family we are adjusting well to our new habitat. In the beginning the boys were having fun going up and down the stairs; not so much fun for the grown-ups that were around. The newness of the stairs has worn out and they don't go up and down as much, thank goodness.

Dylan celebrated his 5th birthday and since that day his sugar levels have been all over the place and Dave and I are having a hard time trying to adjust his insulin levels to get him to be within his range. The weekend we moved into the house we went to Friendly's for dinner and they boys had sundaes and later that night Dylan's number was in the low 400s; that was even with giving him extra insulin to cover the ice cream. We thought that maybe we underestimated the amount of carbs but since then there have been two other occasions when he has had ice cream and we have given more insulin and even tried to split his dose and he still is quite high during the night.
He has his endo appointment on Monday and I am sure the doc will ask why his numbers have been high and hopefully he will have some suggestions on how to deal with ice cream.
I am also wondering if he has had a growth spurt on top of that and we just need to figure out how to adjust all his insulin doses to get him back on track.
