Thanks to everyone that left such nice comments and for the lurkers that de-lurked.  I hope you come out of hiding more often! 🙂

And the Skinmedica fabulousness goes to number

RACHEL!  Definitely go check out her blog.  She has some unique challenges as a momma and I can tell she does a wonderful job looking at her smiley little guy.  Congratulations!!  I will send you an e-mail for your address.

We had a nice weekend, with a daytrip to my hometown.  One of my relations owns the 100+ year old farm of my great grandparents, so they have the extended family reunion there every year.  They did a lot of fun activities for the kids…a water slide, tie dying t-shirts, face painting and they hid 60 plastic eggs in a whole pile of straw.  You should have seen the straw flying in the scramble!  Of course, there was a lot of yummy food there, too. 🙂

The face painting…and body painting, too.  They both wanted one on each cheek and leg.  I gave Anya a heart, dolphin, smiley face and butterfly.  Kailan got a dinosaur, shark, swordfish and a red racecar.

These were shot in RAW and then processed in CS3.  I’m not totally won over yet, but it is nice that it gives you a bit more flexibility.  I haven’t used my wide-angle 18mm on my zoom much this summer, but I love how these last two turned out. 🙂
