Thanks everyone.
I still lurk a lot, but it just takes so long to post nowadays(and the weather's getting nicer!). Also Tenchi was sick again and it seems to be clearing up now, but the vets weren't sure if it was a severe kidney infection or the beginning of Kidney Failure. Luckily after a week of some super strong Antibiotics, he seems to be feeling a bit better. (no he wasn't on any of the recalled foods either, which was the first thing that came to mine and EVERYONE elses mind!)
I had a nice quiet Bday, no cleaning or cooking.. just chilling on the couch! lol Jay took me out for lunch and then got me a cake when the kids got home. Jay bought me a new camera earlier this month for an early bday present. Its an Olympus SP 550UZ, it has an 18x Zoom! I'm also going to be getting a lens adapter for it hopefully, which will bring it up to like 36x.
I can't wait! I'm having so much fun with it, though I'm still learning the settings and whatnot.
Some recent shots of Tenchi & the crew...

There's some turkeys, ducks, geese, a dove, redwinged blackbird and a HUGE invasion of robins(never saw so many at the same time! lol
