Editing Fun

I love this picture of our family from Easter.

This is the original...

This is the edited version. Painted in bushes & trees to take away from all the street distractions, and, focus on us. Darkened the background & lightened us.

This was edited by my Father in law on his super-duper Software. CS5 & OnOne.

Things that make me smile...

Jacob just loves this monkey, and I love the look on his face here!

I finally got my ring re-sized & back on my hand...I hated being without my wedding ring.

Isn't he just the cutest?! :)

My Saturday morning Cartoon gang...

OK, I just can't help but smile when he gives me that lip!

(These pics were all edited in Instagram, a fun, FREE App that I have been using with my iPhone photos)

Cole reading to Jacob

I finally had a chance to capture Cole reading to Jacob. It's so precious. I love the way Jacob just looks at Cole - he must think his big brother is the coolest guy ever :)

My first baby...all grown up!

When I look at Jacob, I see so much of Cole in him. As I'm watching him hit these milestones & firsts...I remember Cole doing it all so clearly. I can't believe he is 5 years old.

He has grown into this absolutely awesome little boy. He has empathy & compassion for others, an amazing imagination & is the best big brother anyone could ask for. When Jacob see's his brother - his eyes completely light up :)

I am so proud of Cole & the little boy he has become. Although I would love to just freeze time...I'm also excited to see what God has planned for Cole's life. I have a feeling it will be wonderful :)
