Visiting Friends

Happy Birthday to John and Wyatt who turned 3 and 1 this past week!!

Lucy and I have had a very busy weekend. We left for Fayetteville on Thursday morning. We were going there for Jayme's baby shower, a Razorback football game, to visit friends, and to go to Liza's 2nd birthday party. We were on the go nonstop, but it was so much fun. I miss seeing all of my college friends and really miss their babies!! We stayed with Kate, Jason, and Liza. Lucy and Liza had such a great time together. Liza was a fabulous host to Lucy - she shared so well and was VERY patient with Lucy, who can be a bit moody! Thanks for letting us stay.

Lucy enjoyed the football game for about 2 quarters, and then we went home for a nap. She wore a cheerleader outfit and was too cute.

The highlight of Lucy's weekend was most definitely Liza's birthday party. I am not sure that any other party will ever live up to this for Lucy. There were 2 horses for the kids to ride and lets just say that Lucy and Liza LOVED the horses. They were not real big into any of the other kids getting a turn to ride. They actually did really well taking turns, but I had to keep Lucy busy when it was not her turn. And any time there is cake, Lucy is happy. There was a fabulous cake at the party.

Lucy is not feeling great today. She is running a fever and has a congested nose. I think that this busy weekend ran us both down. We will see how she is feeling tomorrow before I call the doctor. Hopefully it is just a cold.

The highlight of my weekend was getting Lightroom 2.0 and Photoshop CS3!!!!!!!!!! My sister, Katy, was able to buy them for me at the student bookstore since she is still in college. They are a fraction of the cost when they are the student licensed. They are from my parents for Christmas, but I had to take them home already. My computer is acting weird and is running really slowly with Lightroom on it so I still haven't even downloaded CS3. They gave me all of the info on what to do when CS4 comes out soon, but I haven't even read it yet. I am so excited to have these two programs that I have lusted over for so long. Now I just have to learn how to really use them. I think my pictures are going to get much better.

I hope Lucy feels better quickly! Stuffy noses and fevers aren't any fun!

I have CS3 design premium. It is awesome! I love In Design. If you do family newsletters at Christmas or anytime, it is so much fun to work in. The tutorials are great that come with it but I found a better online tutorial. www.lynda.com

those are great pictures!! Have fun with CS3 although I'd probably wait for CS4 so there isn't a whole new learning curve.

Looks like a totally fun party! I see a horse in your future!!

Oh what a fun party!!!! And you sure do have access to all of the cute kids/babies of the world ; ) That is an awesome cake too! I am excited to hear about your new Photoshop goodies once you get them settled in. I just bought Elements 7 for my son Gene and it crashed his laptop : (

That is one seriously full weekend - what fun! You will LOVE CS# - I got it a few months ago and have never looked back. LR I just haven't been able to get the hang of, tho. All the photos are so great - those are some cute girlies! We've been thinking about pony rides for Nadia's bday next month.

Natalie said...
