We purchased a new camera to capture all those upcoming special moments. It was a toss up between the Canon G10 (which Martha swears by) and this beautifully made Panasonic Lumix. We decided on this camera because of its ability to take beautiful photos in low light conditions, which is perfect for a newborn, and its compactness. We've always had somewhat bulky cameras, but now with the baby coming, it'll be much easier to toss this into the bag and go. Of course, it's beautiful retro design (classic rangefinder cameras of the 40's -60's) and the Leica case that happens to be compatible was a huge deciding factor. Afterall, who can escape vanity?? The big plus is that it takes wide angle lenses, which is a big plus when shooting indoors.
Another toy we've been keeping an eye on is a turntable. Our last one broke down a couple of years ago, and we haven't been able to listen to all our vinyls since. Tim found this used Bang & Olufsen on Craigslist for a really really good bargain, so we had to have it. This timeless design of clean and simple lines of brushed aluminum and wood accents is appropriate today as it was in the early 80's.
Now that we're both satiated with our new toys, we can focus on being selfless parents (or parents to be) at least for a while.

Ah that's such a beautiful case! And I can't wait to listen to the German Meat-Eating song again :)
Heidegger? Tim you big snob!
