Photos by Carl

Last Friday evening we went on a bit of an unplanned scavenger hunt. We have been planning to purchase a "big kid" camera for quite some time now and my grandmother and parents gave us gift cards for Christmas (for which we're VERY thankful) to put toward this major purchase.

We hit Best Buy in Waco only to find out they were out of the camera we wanted and took a quick trip to Temple. While the trip itself was quick and painless, I can assure you the experience in the store was not. The important thing, though, is that we made it out in one piece. And with the new family member. :-)

We stopped at Chuy's (hello, creamy jalapeno!) on the way home for dinner and, while walking inside, I looked at Taylor - who names everything in our life, including my car whose name is Bob - and said, "it needs a name."

She immediately replied with, "That's exactly what I was thinking!"

I'm sure you've guessed by now that we take a lot of pictures so, of course, we'll need a way to beckon the chief picture taker by name. And the winner was....

CARL!!!

So, may I now present to you the very first installment of Photos by Carl?
