Playing With Photoshop

I have been learning to use Photoshop. Here are a few Photoshop creations to commemorate the end of our summer.

Back to School

Today was the first day back at "school" for Jake. Josie is going with him this week and next during my inservice days. Even though there were lots of tears, Jake made it through his first day back. Both kids seemed to have fun, and mom got lots of work done in her classroom. It's hard to believe the summer is over.

Blog Improvements

Okay, I just have to say that I am proud of myself. I have been wondering how people got such cute blog titles. It really bugged me that mine was a little boring. I finally figured out how to make my own title using Photoshop Elements. I am still experimenting, but I'm sure that will end when school officially starts (which for me is next Wednesday).

Everyone please pray that Jake has a smooth start back to his school. He is adament that he is NOT going to go. He wants to just move to Granny's instead.

Tropical Storm?

Well, some of you might have been wondering about the storm that hit yesterday (Eduard). We were hoping for lots of rain since we have been so dry. We did get some rain yesterday, but nothing heavy. Thankfully, we didn't get much wind. Lots of schools and businesses closed just in case, but it turned out to be no big deal for our area.

More Trip Pictures

Here are more pictures...these are from Inks Lake. My favorite is the profile shot of Josie and Cody. The similarities are priceless.

Last Trip of the Summer

We just got back from a trip to Junction and Burnet to see family. We had a great time visiting and playing in the Llano River and Inks Lake. Josie and Jake got to spend time with Granny and PaPa. We fished, tubed, swam, and ate lots and lots of yummy food. We also got to see Chaz's and Cash's new home, which just happens to be where Cody grew up (Junction). It was fun to see the houses where Daddy lived and the school where PaPa coached. We can't wait to go back.

Book of Interest

I just finished reading The Shack by William P. Young. It was a really thought-provoking book. If you are interested, go to www.theshackbook.com. I haven't looked at the this site yet, but I plan to. This book really makes you think about relationships, especially the relationship we have with God. Let me know what you think if you read it.
