One thing to mention - renting Nikon 24-70 few more times will push it well above the cost of Tamron 24-70 VC from cameraland (taking into account the $800 you mentioned). Renting pricey lenses isn't cheap - one of the reasons I don't like renting pricey lenses I intend on buying more than once or twice since renting just eats into the budget for purchasing.
Bit off topic - do you know from whom Lauren rents lenses?
It's more than the 3 lenses you listed, but how about Tamron 24-70/2.8 VC ($1300)? Supposed to be just as good as Nikon 24-70, and it comes with a lens stabilization. It does show up on FM every now and then for ~$950.
Not quite done yet, but cleaned and moved stuff out of my office/storage room. It amazes me how much crap I've accumulated over the five years we've been in this house, as well as to how much crap I keep holding from one place to another.
Yep. We got married there and we've been going there with our daughter every year since then on/around our anniversary. Libby loves bumper boat and she enjoyed (at least for few holes) mini golf for the first time.
