Adalynn's First Slideshow

So I got Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 yesterday and am obsessed with it. Travis got Cabellas Big Game Hunter for the Wii (can't wait for the gun to ramp it up), and was playing that yesterday while I was fooling with the Photoshop. Poor Adalynn, not neglected, but she was not happy for a while unless getting direct eye contact!! Who's the spoiled baby? :) That's how we like it! I want to share my first creation, hopefully I can get it to upload right. It features Adalynn from birth until now, alone and with family. (I Don'T have all of the family in here, so if do not see yourself *please* don't be offended. I just need a really *great* picture of you with Adalynn!)

Although Michigan is cold, dreary, and unimaginative most of the time, one of the most elemental reasons for living here is that Adalynn can grow up really *knowing* her grandmas and grandpas, nanas and papas, aunts and uncles and cousins. For this, we are grateful and blessed.

The Last Baby Shower

On Tuesday night, 1.8.07, we had our last baby shower. Travis and I (and Adalynn) have been attending Green Lake Calvary since August, when we moved into our house. This church is the most welcoming and loving church, rivaling Woodmont Baptist that I attending in TN. They have a really fabulous Young Marrieds class that has led to us meeting some really great couples. (and a Wii marathon last night until midnight, totally worth it!!) Anyway, I am rambling...(it's Sat morning, give me a break!) So it was a joint baby shower for Chelsea who is due in 2 weeks and Adalynn, and was thrown by our church (Thank You Heidi and Val! It was fabulous!) Adalynn got many *CuTe* outfits and a giftcard to Target let her get "Baby's first MP3 player" (so Trav calls it, he's pretty proud of it). And yes, it is totally necessary.
