More Photo Sharing

I love being able to take pictures like this. I have always felt bad that when Caeden was born we went all out and had professional portraits done. All Claire has is what I have taken. Maybe these aren't such a bad trade.


This is the official 8 x 10 the family is getting. Already printed and ready to go!


I was just playing around with the color on this. Photoshop is so fun!

Thanks for letting me share. I was shy to post them because I don't expect comments, but I wanted to show you what I've learned.

I've learned: practice, practice, practice. :)

Supposed to be working out ...

But here I sit, looking at DESSERT recipes. Could I be anymore ridiculous?

My high school/college friend turned email/blog pal (hey, gotta do what you gotta do when you live a million miles away), Paula, sent me a random email a long time ago about Pioneer Woman. This woman is funny, brilliant with Photoshop, homeschools her kids (saint!), and can cook up a storm. I think I am going to make this "best ever" chocolate cake tomorrow night for my Father in Law (who loves pecans) with my sister's spaghetti (she uses sausage and hamburger - great idea, huh?!). Do yourself a favor and spend lots of time on PW's website. I have a crush on her and you will too.

Now, with the food business out of the way, a funny YouTube video sent to me by Nellers. It's the one where Ellen DeGeneres calls Gladys (from Austin), an 88 year old fit fire who "loves Jesus but drinks a little, too." The call is so funny! If you have a few minutes to watch, it will make coffee come out of your nose (that is, if you are drinking coffee this time of morning).

What else ... can I talk about while stalling on working out? What's that? Nothing is more important than my health/fitting into my bride's maid dress in May? Fine. Thanks for the buzz kill. Off to do lunges.
