I Heart Faces

I came across a new photography website... I heart faces... they have weekly contests for kids faces.
I'm entering this photo into the weeks challenge of...
You guessed it...
"Silly".
hehe. This one makes me crack up.

Over and Over again.

My favorite picture from the day...
although I'm not sure which version I like better.

Layer Masks

I'm finally getting around to learning more about layer masks.
Photoshop is so daunting!

Polka Dot Princess.

So today I panicked. I thought for SURE the beautiful dress I've been dying for Chloe to wear wouldn't fit. I had planned on this being her Easter dress, after all, it should fit between 6 and 9 months. But, considering the fact that she's basically out of 6 month clothes now... I was worried. Luckily, however, it is still big. Phew. Crisis averted. Seriously. It would have been a Major Crisis. So what you have here is a little teaser. That is all. I'm off to spend time with the hubby. Night Night!

Massage

I got a massage today. So delightful.
Here's a picture from the gardens there...

Yummers

We rarely eat out anymore (which means you can find all meals prepared by le chef jen... I couldn't resist prettying up this healthy pre-superbowl lunch. Had to balance out the fat we'd consume later in the day!

Snowbunny

...In 80 degree weather :)

Delinquent

Sooo I didn't post a picture yesterday, Which I consider to be a-ok ... why? Because I took pictures ... I just didn't post.
So yeah.
On To more important things. It appears Chloe has re-developed a case of baby acne. We're not sure if it's just due to the weather or some skin sensitivity to something she's in contact with...
BUT...
That's what Photoshop is for. Isn't it fabulous?!
(Don't worry - I don't photoshop all her pictures, I just figured she'd like a few without a full-blown case of acne)... She's not a teenager YET !

The following pictures are all a variation of the same exact shot, just messed around with her eyes a little. Can't help it! There are so many different ways to do things in photoshop. So much to do, so little time!! The hard thing about working on the eyes is the tendency to accidentally make them look freakishly alien-like.. I'm trying to just enhance color slightly. So if you can't tell a difference between some pictures, you're not looking hard enough! :)

Cute Bow Girl

So I had pictures of our old lady with a cute little pink bow in her hair.
Blogger doesn't think I should get to post any pictures tonight.
I do NOT like blogger tonight.

*Update*
Blogger finally decided they should be posted.
Turns out they only want to let me post ONE picture.
Still not liking the blogger tonight. Maybe I'll feel differently tomorrow.
Hmmph.
Need my own webpage and server. Oh Monkeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy... Couldja helpme?

Blurry

I wasn't expecting her to roll during our photo session...
But I'll gladly take shots of her mid-roll...Blurry or not!

And After.

Can you tell she's super proud of herself?
Sorry. Also Blurry. Had to catch the moment. She isn't big on smiling for my new camera so this is a big deal... I think it's much scarier looking than the Point&Shoot.

Muah.

Highchair

Lil Bruiser

Sugar Pie Honey Bunch...

You Know I Love YOU!

Duck....Duck....

no goose.
But I DO have duck butts for you!

Skip A Beat

Seriously. This picture makes my heart skip a beat. Sometimes 2.

The Great Fire... Or Something Like It

These are pictures I took of a fire from Chloe's bedroom. It's interesting to see the different viewpoints depending on how zoomed in (or out) I was.


See the Birdie?




Looks pretty peaceful (despite the fire)...I'll bet that you never would have guessed THIS was below the trees :)

Sorry...Couldn't just post one pic! I'm chronicling events here, people! (Yes, I am pretty sure chronicling is a word...blogger says so)

Inauguration.

Inauguration Day.
Based on today's events, Today's picture should be related to a more hopeful tomorrow... I'm not sure if anyone else feels it, but there seems to be a unity, a cohesiveness that I haven't really felt before, nor can I try to accurately explain. I'm not sure if it's so much Obama himself, but more the thought that just having this change will in itself bring about change.
In any case, I'm excited. I have to be honest, this is the first time I've been even remotely interested in politics. I'm not sure if it's the politics I'm even interested in... more the fact that I am feeling the impact of our economy for the first time, really... I'm so grateful for what I have, that Chris continues to have a great job (which includes healthcare for our family)... Lord knows about 4 months ago, it really came in handy :) Did you know they billed 20 THOUSAND dollars just for my quick, easy delivery with no epidural resulting in a super healthy baby...upon which we were allowed to be discharged after less than 35 hours?! C'mon folks. That's highway robbery.
This post is so scatterbrained. Ok...where was I goign... Oh yeah, I know where I was going. To share in the excitement of today, Chloe got her second round of shots. 2 in one thigh and one in another! Yowzers. Look at the bandaids that the nurse put on. X marks the spot!

So Last Minute

Fudge had a tough day today. My post for today is so very unplanned and last minute. oh well...

Eyes

Which do you like better?

Waller Park

Today, we went to our favorite park to meet up with some old friends...

Chloe enjoyed herself. Haha.

Photo Challenge

I'm entering this picture of Chloe into the photo challenge here on Dr. Cason's website. I'm going to start doing more of these. It's fun, although SUPER intimidating. Have to come out of my shell at some point, however!

Look at Dem Rolls

Photoshop Fun

This post is dedicated to playing around in Photoshop. It's SO intimidating... but I think I'm kind of getting the feel for things, I am so excited to see where I am in a year. Oh boy! Which do you like the best?!

Just Ducky.
