First Tooth and First Easter

This is for the Gotta Be Quick March 2007 challenge.

This photo is of Peter in April of 2006 for his first Easter. He got his first tooth the day before and was still teething on eveything. The peeps that are in this were added from a photo of peeps today (Just for Melinda). There were truly no peeps in his basket on Easter.

Spring Bloom - Cherry Tree

We went for a walk on this pre-spring evening and it was so beautiful. I found a cherry tree blooming and I just had to play with my photography. Here is what came out. Lynne's kit perfectly matched. I don't think I have ever had a picture match a kit so beautifully.

Laughter

I was doing my 365 project a few days ago and got this great blurry shot of my ds laughing. I played with PSE and did the watercolor filter and this great picture came out.

Eyes

I am doing a project of taking one picture a day for the next 365 days. Today I had a blurry picture of my ds's face and I played with filters with PSE 2.0. This is what came of it.

Thank you Melinda for problem solving the background paper.

We gathered together for our friend Jenny's Baby Shower. This was also a time to support our friend Lisa, on the right, as her mom had just past away ealier that day from cancer. Being together was very important with what had just happened and the big event were awaiting.

Riverfront Park August 2006

I had always wanted to go see the "Big Red Wagon" at Riverfront Park in Spokane, WA. Last summer, I finally got my chance. We had a wonderful time going throughout the park.

This is for the Ad-spiration challenge for March 2007. The inspiration this month was this ad.

Blessed

I got Peter dressed in his new St. Patricks day shirt and started a photo shoot. He was going all over the kitchen and it was just too cute. He was even being mischivious as you can tell form the extracted photo.

Here is what the text says:
"18 Months - Peter had such a tough time to get going with walking. It is such a blessed event to watch him get all around our house now.
My little Irish boy just amazes me daily. He sure did not come by his walking by luck but his cute looks are from LUCK!"

We truly do feel blessed and lucky.

A Mother's Love

This is for the February 2007 Definition Challenge and the February Get in Shape Challenge.

The Get in Shape is a little harder to see though. The feet are heart shaped. I thought that it was interesting that that shape was made by my son's feet two days after he was born. I love the photos of his feet.

Daddy & Son

I absolutely love this picture. This picture was last summer at Lake Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. My son and husband were looking into the sunset off the dock at the cabin that we were staying at. It was just so beautiful.

This is for the Febuary 2007 Quote Challenge.

This picture was really blury so I played with it and was successful using filters in PSE 2.0 and PSPX together.

So Behind

I am so behind on my post so I think I will try to catch up this evening. I have been busy to say the least. I am even trying to start designing stuff.
