New edits

I've been playing with my Photoshop software lately, and found some new editing features. I also purchased some preset type things since I'm more comfortable doing my own free-editing in Aperture, but there are things I can't do in Aperture that I can do in Photoshop and vice versa. I actually really like having both. :) Anyways, these are some of the newer edits I've been working with, it makes my kids' blue eyes look incredible!! :)

5 months old!

 He is currently in love with his feet and blowing raspberries with his tongue. Hence, 98% of the pictures I took yesterday reflect that. :)
With Harry, I would have stressed and fussed and tried for the "perfect picture." With John, I'm much more happy to remember him the way he really is at 5 months. A goofy little monkey who constantly has his socks off and his tongue out. :) Because all too soon, that little tongue will go back in and he'll be wearing shoes and starting kindergarten next year. Did I mention how much I'm FREAKING out that Harry will be at kindergarten next year 5 full days a week??!!!

Peas and Haircuts

John had peas for the first time on Saturday. He was NOT a fan. LOL, his little expressions were sooo sad and pitiful (and hysterical!). I finally took pity on him and gave him apples instead, they were a much bigger hit!


 Emma and I finally were able to get in for a haircut on base. I think we're going to have to venture off next time, but we got the job done anyways. She was SO excited to have "big girl" time with mommy and sat and played on my iphone while I got mine cut. The haircut lady even put hers in a french braid- she looked SO grown up. Of course, the pretty braid only lasted about 10 minutes after we walked out of the salon, but she was beautiful and clean for those glorious 10 minutes...




She and I also went shopping a few weeks ago and H&M. I love that store- its right down the hill in Homburg and they have great clothes at great prices that she can wear. Because of her eczema, I have to be very careful what I buy for her, a high polyester count or low quality cotton makes her break out and actually bleed. Normally, I have to stalk the gap and gymboree's sales to afford clothes for her, but over here, we can just hop in the car and she can pick out what she likes! SO much fun for her and much easier for me. :) Plus, they're made in european sizes, which are by centimeter (first time I went shopping, I had to call home and have Jay measure the kids, then convert it into cm's!!) and fit her skinny little butt so much better. They work great for Harry too. :)

Someone is VERY excited that he has feet. :)


Harry asked me to come and take pictures of his "moves."


Moon flare, baby!


Emmila brought Big Poley Bear to school and wore her jammies for Teddy Bear Picnic Day. She was thrilled and hasn't stopped talking about it!
