pictures in the raw...

i havent gotten into photography too much...i know i say it all the time,  but i have a new baby...and sometimes it feels like a handicap...i would love to take tons of pictures of my kids and be able to edit them, i just dont have the time...lori has a cannon rebel i use if i ever want to take good pictures...i wasnt aware of my computer being incapable of recognizing pictures in the raw format...ANNOYING. it took me a good hour and a half to get some pictures that were taken in the raw to save and be able to be viewed on my computer...i am making a baby book on shutterfly for sophia...im sure it seems unfair...the others dont have one...but i am making it because 1. it is free...i got a thing in the mail that i can make it for free and that saves me 30.00 plus shipping...FUN...and 2. obviously if you are willing to have 5 kids, sometimes you just gotta roll with it...so the others dont have one...oh well, maybe i can make one for them later...but i probably wont...it is taking me a long time to figure out where to put all the pictures and what to write where...and i figured out i need about 50 more pictures...so i suppose i will get busy taking some pictures...but not in the raw...haha...here are some of the ones it took me so long to figure out...

this is why i didnt give up after an hour...
