Andrea Dykes – Coach Mom

September 16, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Andrea is fired up with a new attitude for inspiring me and the kids at home. She got this inspiration from her Mops (Mothers of Preschoolers) group speaker last week at Church. The idea is to practice what you preach and be an All-Star Mom and coach an all-star cast at home!

waiting for my new toy to arrive. When it did, just last evening, I met the UPS man at the street. Yes, the camera I’ve been wanting for over a year is now mine. It’s a Canon 40D Digital SLR.

And the Costco deal I got delivered with it a nice 28-135 Lens with Image Stabilization. Wow, i spent the whole evening reading the manual and taking test shots. Lots to learn with this super gadget.
