A little bit of this...

After being inspired by my friend Melanie's post today, I decided to try my hand at a little amateur Photoshop editing. Let's just say its about the most frustrating thing I've experienced. Today is the first time in several months of Photoshop frustration that I felt like I finally made a break through. A little tiny break through and I really only learned how to use a few buttons. And I'm not saying a did a good job using those buttons so don't judge. Anyway, here are my edits...



Most of my excitement comes from finally knowing how to cover up zits.



That's all you get! Here are more pictures from our trip home for Thanksgiving. We had a fun time fitting in all the family you could possibly see in just 4 days and we're excited to go home again in just two weeks for Christmas. Let's hope Oakley decides to sleep this time.




Look at those little chubby feet!


Three generations: My mom, me and Oakley. Each one shorter than the last.



Oakley is now fluent in two words: "da-da and mum". The best part is she says "mum" when she's upset or wants my attention. She reserves "da-da" for expressing her happiness and excitement. I know she doesn't understand what those words mean yet but it certainly feels like she does.


I seriously think Oakley looks a lot like her cousin Jack in this picture!

Your little family is so cute. And I think even learning to use a few buttons is a huge success. :)

lol - I feel your pain! I think I yelled out Zach several times when we first got photoshop "why'd you get me this stupid thing, I hate it!" like it was his fault I couldn't figure it out :) Your pictures look really cute!

Oh and I forgot to mention that Jason Barron used to be in my ward before he moved a month or so ago. My mom figured out that Jason's mom, Faith, was her Sunday school teacher in Medfield, MA. So I told Jason and he told me that you two are friends. What a crazy, small world!
