Well, the camera has definitely died....

This was one of my favorite sleeping shots taken when she was about 7 months old.

Settle for some old pics until I can get a new one folks. Yesterday, I did a very stupid thing. First, let me tell you about our afternoon. Tim and I decided that we wanted to check out a local fair that comes to town each year called the Jubilee. Phil Vassar, a country music singer, was playing and they have amazing funnel cakes and corn dogs! We thought Addie might enjoy a little stroll around the fair grounds. So...we packed up the car and headed that way. After battling the traffic, we managed to find a parking spot at a local church, so we didnt feel too bad about dishing out 5 bucks for the make-shift spot on their sandy playground, right behind the swings. We unloaded the car (and anyone with babies knows just how long the "unloading"part can take), and began our stroll to the park. As we were walking, we began to notice the wind pick up and the sky darkening in the distance. By the time we got within earshot of the music, I just knew we were going to get stuck! It looked like the sky was going to fall any minute. So, after a few pictures in front of the big ferris wheel to show her first time at a fair, and after Addie loses her little horse statue that we had just purchased at Target 4 hours before, we headed straight back to the car. Here is where the camera comes into play. As I got Addie all strapped in her seat, Tim upacked the stroller and and began loading up the back of the car. Around the same time I finished the seat buckling....I saw the back door go down and I heard the loud "SMASH" that accompanied that motion.....Guess where Carrie had placed the camera before she put Addie in the car? Yep, thats right.......on the back bumper. Isn't that a great place for a small silver camera....right on top of a small silver bumper? Well, poor Tim.....he was so patient and so forgiving.....He just picked up the tattered little camera, looked at me and said "Its ok, I should have seen it there......it was on it's last leg anyways". He threw all of its little pieces in the back seat and then took Addie and I to dinner in the pouring rain. No corn dogs or funnel cakes for the Hewitt clan today........
