Yes, bluetooth keyboards will work just fine. It has Notes, which is good for basic note taking and syncs (through iCloud) with any other iOS or OS10 device tied to your account. You can buy Pages if you need serious text editing, or any of hundreds of editors out there. You can just plug the iPad into the Mac and import the photos using iPhoto, but you really should consider using iCloud. It will sync contacts, calendars, reminders, notes, Safari reading lists and open tabs, and more (especially once iOS7 and OS10.9 come out). It is a very convenient way to keep things up to date - add an appointment on the Mac, and your iPad or iPhone will remind you of it, for instance, or take notes on the iPad, and then open the notes on the Mac for exporting or further editing. That said, each person has an iCloud, so if it were me, I'd set your wife up with her own account, then make a new user account on the Mac and tie her Apple ID to that one. That way, if she wants to use the Mac for iPad-related things, she can just log into her account and you never have to worry about having both of your content mixing with each other.
