Goodbye Dear Camera

This morning I went outside to take a picture for a post, and I found out our camera is broken!  The camera had been placed innocently on the computer table.  Of coarse it was in the case, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary-- until picture time.  I asked the kids who broke the camera.  Normally I would not be a very calm mom, but for some reason I didn't freak out.  M told me the camera didn't want to be in his hands and it just jumped out!  I didn't know they did that!  Anyway,  all the photos I wanted to post with the numerous updates I need to do are on the SD card, and I don't have a reader.  So those will have to wait.  I'm going to try to persuade J to purchase an SLR camera that I've had my eye on for some time now.  Wish me luck.
