What do you guys recommend for someone just getting into it?
All I have right now is a Nikon D3100, which I'm sure is fine for pictures of kids and such which is why we bought it.
What else needs to go on the shopping list?

A Fuzz said, get Adobe Lightroom and start shooting raw, learn how to post-process your photos.
After that a fast prime lens should be your first upgrade beyond the "kit lens", I don't know Nikon gear super well, but looks like they've got a 50MM f/1.8 for less than $200.
Prime lens (a single focal length with no zoom) tend to be stupid sharp, and a wide aperture (f/1.8) will let you really have fun with depth of field.
