Happy Birthday, Zach!

Zach CameraIt’s whiplash week here at Smug Puppies.

We went from yesterday’s total sadness to celebrating today – because it wouldn’t be fair to Zach if we didn’t make the effort, considering it’s his sweet sixteen! He gets a protracted, multi-day birthday – it started Sunday with us, continued today with his friends, and is finishing up tomorrow with extended family.

This birthday’s big deal was his new camera. (Zach’s a photography buff, he has had photos in a gallery already with his school photography club, and wants to do something with it as a career.) We splurged and invested via Craigslist in a Canon Digital Rebel XSi. The telephoto lens is courtesy of lensrentals.com.

It seems like he’s jumped from swimming lessons to job hunting and driver’s ed in the blink of an eye. He’ll be gone before we know it – and we’re really proud of him.

    Here’s a hint–don’t wreck the family car.

    Enjoy the camera!
