no good title comes to mind...

Here's a couple pics from our mini family photo shoot before Marlon's department christmas party the other night. Here's our little crawler who's getting around pretty well these days! He has started pulling up to a standing position on Alex's Dora house--he's pretty daring! His mood has definitely improved as he can now happily sit in the living room playing while I'm making dinner or doing something else. He is loving crawling around and exploring things. He enjoys pushing Alex's puzzle boxes around the floor, and he likes going for the christmas tree and the few presents underneath!


Me and the kids

I had to take this photo of what I believe is the first time the kids played TOGETHER. They played with the cars and the garage, and Alex was nice enough to share some cars with her little brother. Cute! (Renee--notice Nolan's old Diego PJs on Alex?!)
On a totally unrelated note, can someone tell me how to improve on my incredibly boring header on my blog? I tried to follow instructions I found somewhere but couldn't get it to work. I see many of you have better headers with bigger font, pictures, decoration, etc. Please help me spruce mine up!

Beautiful family!!
love that Alex is wearing Nolan's old P.J's!

For a header, I just choose a picture I liked, cropped it to fit in a longer, narrow way and saved it. In the layout section, click on "edit" where your title is, and then add the image. To get the words bigger and different, I think I actually added the words to the picture in photoshop using text... (I think... it was awhile ago. I'm still playing around to figure it out). If you don't have photoshop, you can always email me a picture you'd like to use and I can fool around with it! For the most part though, a lot of headers are done with photoshop, unless you get someone to design one for you.

ok, i'm silly - now i just realized that you can do it a lot easier with the updated version of picase 3. did you change yours over yet? you can add text to any pictures. Now I have to fix up mine... :)

I do have Picasa 3 but I haven't used it much. I'll try to play around with it (or I'll send it to you!!) Thanks!!

good job jenn! it looks beautiful! that is seriously the best picture of your kids! Alex is smiling so pretty (i know you've said that can be a challenge)!
i'm still tweeking mine... i'm going back and forth with whether or not to do one with a pic of the kids. i'm sure it will change from time to time!
don't you love how i've commented 3 times already? :)
