Baptism

well, not at our house. Our friend's grandson was baptized today and we were invited to a picnic. Turns out when we arrived in Church this morning, that Gabrielle had a retreat to attend right after Mass. We had completely forgotten about it LOL. Fortunately I was able to find a mother who was willing to give her a ride home afterward. Rachel didn't want to come, so it was just Michael and us. There was lots of good food and of course we overdid it again. I felt completely stuffed afterward. We didn't stay too long but I was able to get my best friend to pose for me. She was very reluctant and she asked me to remove 30 pounds via photoshop. I really don't think she needs any improvement, she is gorgeous the way she is. Plus she is the most wonderful person I know (and I mean that sincerely) Look at her, isn't she cute? :)

I love these dark vignettes, they really set her off...

When I got home I took some shots of the tree we have out front. I figure better now before the next rain ruins it all

and there are still some flowers in the front....

Well, these pictures look a lot darker here than in LR, oh well...

I did one page last night, that's it. I was scanning in pictures all afternoon and I was looking at this one in particular, remembering that awkward age, I was just a year or two older than Gabrielle there. Boy, I was so insecure and always fretting about my looks. Now I look at it and think what perfect skin I had and how I wish I could have it now LOL. What am I going to think 10 years from now.... I wish I had what I have today? How scary is that. Time is really a stinker...

Well, that was the extend of my day, it really doesn't feel like I got anything much accomplished, but I am happy with the photos. Now back to the regularly scheduled program and making a page...maybe :)
