Our Pretty Little Lady turns 6!

Six years ago today I met a pretty little lady that would change my life forever. Her name is Ella Hope!! Today our beautiful little girl turns six. Seriously, where have the last six years gone? She has grown so fast, and grown into such a remarkable little girl too! This past year has been a big one for Ella. She graduated from pre-school in May, started Kindergarten in September, welcomed another baby brother in October, AND lost her first tooth!! I'd have to say she has had a pretty good year, make that a fantastic year. I feel very blessed everyday to have her in our lives, she truly is a gift from God, and I love her to the moon and back.

We will be celebrating her birthday this Sunday, December 19 with friends and family here at our home. She has her church Christmas program in the morning then the party will follow. Can't wait to spend another day with family and friends, I enjoy every chance we get to be together.

Editor in Training

I love this one as a pencil sketch.

I am kind of behind the times when it comes to editing pictures on the computer. Last week I found this new program, picasa 3, and thought that I would take a shot at it. I would have to say that I think that I did a pretty good job, (according to me anyways). Now I just need to figure out to get a better quality picture, (resolution), because when I go to have any of these printed it will only do a 4 x 6 and anything other than that says to use a better resolution.

So if anybody knows how to do that and wants to let me in on the secret I would really appreciate it. I have so many ideas in my head of photos I would like to take, (one in particular) and edit so that I can have it enlarged a great deal.

I love how this one turned out!!
