Cool New Trick!

I've had a lot of fun learning to digital scrapbook. I've also discovered a lot of other fun things you can do with Photoshop. The following are some optical illusions I've created. The frames were created by Elisabeth Weaver.

Home 5 months tomorrow!

Can you believe it? The past 5 months have gone so quickly. In just 2 weeks, Kaden will be 9 months old. Wow! Kaden had a minor surgical procedure on Friday. He absolutely amazes us. We were expecting him to be in pain and fussy for several days, but he acts like nothing happened! He has always healed quickly from any bruises or scrapes. I wish I had some of his health!

Here's a scrapbook page I created of our day at the hospital:



Bulletin board by Kellie Mize, bent photo frames by Jennilyn Designs, Prescription & staples by Tracy Collins, Notepaper & Red circle by Tracy Blankenship. Fonts are "Rebecca's Printing" and "J.D."

Kaden's First Snow

We just had our first "real" snow of the season this weekend. I'd been waiting to get some pictures of Kaden out in the snow! He wasn't entirely sure what to think of it, but we got some cute pictures:

Here is a scrapbook page I created as a Creative Team assignment for http://www.scrapamoment.com. The kit is called "Frolic & Play":

Whoa! It's been awhile

Sorry I haven't posted in so long. Kaden is an active 8 month old and the only time I get on the computer is while he is napping. With house chores and other responsibilities that come first, my computer has been missing me lately!

Can you believe Kaden is 8 months old already? Boy time flies. In just a few days, he'll have been home for 5 months. Before we know it, half a year will have gone by. Then Kaden will be walking, and he'll turn 1. Yikes!

Here's video of Kaden's latest set of "tricks". He has perfected the "Give Five" that he has been able to do for awhile and has added waving and clapping to his list of achievements. We're still working on the fine details of clapping, such as using both hands and not just hitting one with the other!

Please be in prayer for Kaden next Friday. He will be having an outpatient procedure done. Nothing big, but he will have to have to "go under" and he won't be feeling well for awhile. Actually, Mommy & Daddy are probably the ones that need the prayers the most!

2006 Scrapbook Pages

Now that the year has drawn to a close, it's time for me to hurry up and crank out some more scrapbook pages! I still have a lot of Kaden's first 4 months home to do, but looking back, I am amazed at how much I have already accomplished. You can view the pages I've completed and see the credits at Dropshots.

I also did several pages in 2006 before Kaden came home. You can also view them at DropShots as well. I put them on January 4.

Any know anything about Blogger?

Anyone here know anything about blogger? Ever since they switched to the new beta version, my sidebar is no longer a sidebar. It's at the very end of the page, which is not very useful. I'm assuming it's because my posts are too wide, but I can't figure out how to change it in the HTML.

Did you know......

that you can download pictures and videos from our Drop Shots site? All you have to do is right click on the picture and say, "Save As". It's the same process for videos as well. Make sure you have your pop-up blocker off.

You can also order pictures and products straight from Drop Shots. I know you're all just dying to have a Kaden T-Shirt, right? Hee...Hee..

Anyway, I didn't know if you knew about these features so I thought I'd spread the word. In other news, Kaden went to the doctor yesterday. He is now up to 20 lbs., 9 oz. He'll be 8 months old on Wednesday. My how time flies! Kaden has a bad cold, but the doctor says we just have to let it run its course. He is too young to medicate. Ryan, however, is not too young, so the doctor gave him medication. It's funny, because he didn't even have an appointment - he was just there with Kaden!

Happy New Year!

Wow! Where did 2006 go? On New Year's Eve, we celebrated two events: The dawning of 2007 & Kaden's 4 months home anniversary! I can't believe that he will be 8 months old next week. Boy time flies!

Our entire household is suffering from colds, so we haven't taken many pictures since Christmas, but I promise we'll start taking more soon.
