Most of the stress of parenting has gone. Remains the pleasure of watching them grow. Congrats on the kids, too. As to the camera, the one you?ll have in hand will always prove handy until they reach the age of being camera shy. So waste no opportunity. Slightly off topic and somewhat of a Christmas tale : we had my in-laws on Xmas eve here, after everyone had been tested negative earlier in the day. And a sister in-law, a mother of two, asked me in the afternoon if I had kept the family photos I took since her elder kid was born, saying that their HD drive had crashed and they had lost all their treasured photos ? I opened LR on my main catalogue, and explained to her how to make a query on name, date, or place. She spent the whole afternoon resurrecting photos and videos we all had nearly forgotten over the 13 years since Margaux was born, added them to a new collection which I then exported. More than a thousand shots of her precious kids back to life :-) Oh her relief ! Morals : keep shooting with a vengeance, store, and wait, it might come handy on some Xmas day :-) Amities Philippe > Le 27 d?c. 2020 ? 02:25, Douglas Barry <imra at iol.ie> a ?crit : > > A masked Stephanie calls to our porch to say Happy Christmas > http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DouglasBray/Christmas+Eve+2020+Steph.jpg.html > > with her husband, my son Alastair, and they both give us some great news > http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DouglasBray/Christmas+Eve+2020+Stephanie+_amp_+Alastair.jpg.html > Fuji X100S.
