Fun with photo editor

I've been trying out some photo editors that I have on my computer. Here are three variations of the next photo taken at Johnny Rockets in Daytona Beach, FL. Here is the original.


Here are the photoshop versions:

Two weeks until we leave for Myrtle Beach!

We are excited because there is two weeks until we leave for our vacation to Myrtle Beach, SC. This trip will be lots of fun because we are going in Jamie's new minivan which means that we can take Alex and Isabel too. We (Jamie, mom and I) are going to have a car full of kids, but it should be fun. We are excited about the hotel. It has a full kitchen like Orlando and Wisconsin Dells. That really is the only way to travel with a bunch of kids because you can cook them food. It makes it a lot cheaper! I have never been to Myrtle Beach before and Alex and Isabel have never been to the ocean. It will be neat to see them there. Janette and I started this tradition of every beach we go to, we write the name of the beach and sign our names, so we'll have to do that there as well. Ilana informed me that we have 13 days until we leave (not counting today). We are excited to do something. Yeah! This is our beach writing from Daytona Beach in 2007.



I have pictures of Anakin and Padme and also Ilana giving Anakin his daily hug.

The Nieces and Nephews

We had the nieces and nephews over while my sister went to her class. Boy was it a handful. Six children under the age of 10. Here are some funny photos.

Rafael liked getting his picture taken.

It was fun and exhausting at the same time.

Jamie moving in

Jamie moved in with her daughter Ilana, who is 9 and her son Riley who will be 3 in April. It has been a fun and exhausting time getting them all settled. The dogs and cats are having a time getting used to them being here. Riley sure is hyperactive. All the bedrooms in my house are now full. Mom and I are glad that they are here though. So, I am posting some photos of them.
