McKenna Collage

Laura and Dan composed this collage and gave it to Mike and I as a gift. Since I made the other collage of the other kids without McKenna, we decided to use this one to post on our blog. We have to be fair and make sure all of our beautiful little grandchildren are represented, right? Fun pictures of the baby and grandma and grandpa moments from just after McKenna was born until Christmas. She's a CUTIE PIE!!!

New Software - Correction

We've had a CD of software called Collage Creator in our collection for a while now. I thought I'd give it a whirl and see what I could do with it. I didn't make the page very creative because I was going for more pictures instead of artsy. And, I don't have any of McKenna on it because she wasn't born yet when most of these pictures were taken of us playing or sitting or whatever on the grass. For now, just enjoy! I'll do more later. It's a slick way to get a lot of little pictures on at the same time. Now I just hope it translates big enough for you to see them all - how cute they are and what they are all doing in them. Just click on the collage and it will grow bigger so that you can see the pictures better. We have a fun family! Love You All Very Much! Mom XOXOXO!!!

Sorry about posting this twice. AND, correcting a post on a blog is a BEAR!!! See if you can see what I had to correct via Mickelle (aka - Miss Grammar!)

Raindrops Falling All Around

We've had a very dry year. In fact, 2 or 3 dry years. We've been praying for rain and are so grateful for every drop we get. This much is an answer to prayers. It has come slowly over the last few days and has accumulated (as you can see by the pictures). Some of the pictures were taken before the sun came out. But you can see, the orchards are pretty even without leaves. We're just waiting for Spring and the bursting out of the blossoms. Then it REALLY gets beautiful!!! (Dad took the pictures. Didn't he do a nice job?)
