Random Thoughts

1. For some reason, Brooke has taken to calling me "Gus" lately. Gus is the chubby, not-so-bright mouse from Cinderella. Scot thinks it's hilarious. It's giving me a complex.

2. I have been playing around with photo editing lately. It can waste an entire hour before you even know it. Where are the kids and what are they doing? I don't know, but check out this picture I took of a swan at the park:

After



Cool, huh?

3. On a related note, I am really getting interested in photography. "Interested" meaning I would like to learn. I'm not sure how to get going, though. I think I could (maybe?) teach myself a lot using the internet. If anyone knows anything about this topic or has a camera suggestion, I am all ears.

4. I downloaded some awesome praise music the other day by Travis Cottrell. His "In Christ Alone" is amazing, I highly recommend.

5. Nathan's party is in a few days, and I am so excited I can hardly stand it! We're having the grandparents over for a little BBQ. Nathan is just about to walk. I know enough this time around to enjoy having a non-walker, but how great would it be if he started by this weekend??

6. This sentence has come out of my mouth twice today: "Brooke, stop riding Nathan!!!"

7. Nathan had his one-year checkup today. He's 34 inches tall, which puts him above the 99th percentile. That means that if there are 100 babies...well, I don't know what it means, but he's tall. Pretty much knew that going in.

That's all. Bye!

  1. Amy,
    I recommend the Cannon SLR, I have the T1i and love it!
    Travis Cottrell has some awesome praise and worship. If you don't have it, download Mercy Seat, Victory in Jesus, Sanctuary and I like his version of Shackles.
    Hope Nathan has a great party. He is so cute.
