Crunch Time

Things have been pretty crazy lately. Cameron's baptism is in less than two weeks!! Last week, I got his invites designed and sent out. That was a huge burden taken off my shoulders. It took me all day to design them but I'm really excited about how well they turned out.

Yesterday, I finally got the baptism program figured out. I now have all the spots in the program filled!! I wound up asking a friend to do one of the talks and he graciously accepted. I am going to be doing a musical number with Sean's mom and Bri (yikes!!). Plus I am giving one of the talks. I still need to ask a couple people to do some things, but I'm sure they will say yes so I'm not too worried.

As if this wasn't enough, we are also having a BBQ that evening to celebrate the baptism and Cameron's birthday. Thankfully, I can make most of the salads a couple days in advance, so that is one less thing I have to worry about. We are also going to be playing baseball at the BBQ, which should be a lot of fun.

Anyway, I am really excited about everything coming up! If the stress doesn't kill me, then it should be a really fun time. Here is a copy of the invite I made.

Learning Something New

So, I have decided I need to learn something new. I was playing around online and found some amazing photos that I loved and wondered how they got such great pictures. The trick is photo editing. I figured, I have the software, so I might as well learn how to use it. Plus, I would love to have amazing photos of my boys!

Well, I took Gabriel outside today and took a picture of him. It is kind of cloudy out, so it's not the best picture to start with, but I decided to give it a shot.

Here is the before picture:


Here is the after picture:

I'm having fun and hopefully with some practice, I'll get a lot better at it!!
