Many thanks to Mrs. Mollie Greene for the privilege of sharing the loveliest tree in Illinois as a header pic here. Mollie’s blog is always a delightful stop in my tour of the ‘roll and if you aren’t enjoying it already, I highly recommend it.

I’ve seen these nifty new interactive maps in a few other places recently, and Mike just came across one as well and suggested we add one here. As a visual person, it seemed like a neat idea.

Go there, stick in your name, zipcode, a short message and an optional photo from your hard drive. It takes less than a minute and we’d love to “see” all of our readers. Yes, that includes you lurkers (real-life friends and otherwise!)

This pregnancy is going a lot faster than my last one. I feel really unprepared — I need to be better about doing my Bradley exercises and I have a lot to acquire before December rolls around! I uploaded another picture to my pregnancy album. I’ve still only gained about 15 pounds, so people regularly do not realize I am pregnant. That’s getting old. I FEEL like I’m in my third trimester, even though I don’t look like it!

I’ve been using my newfound Photoshop Elements power to make the header photos on the top of the page. Other than the UT tower one, all of the photos are from our photo collection. If you have a cool landscape photo you want to submit, I’m accepting donations… especially a good autumn scene or two :o)

When I get around to taking pictures, they get uploaded a lot faster these days between my new computer’s card reader and having Adobe Photoshop Elements. Here’s the index page.

Kate’s blog has a link to our beach trip photos and also the aforepromised review of toys that she likes right now that would be appropriate first birthday gifts.

I finished the June photo album which ends with some really fun, happy pictures of Kate. She’s a pretty happy, giggly kid but often shows her contemplative side in pictures, so I am pleased that we captured her smiling. Also, there’s a whole series of pictures about her discovering one of my Alan Stuart purses (I have a couple, but they were all gifts). It was just her size. She carried it around for an hour on Wednesday and a half hour yesterday. She’s got good taste!
Tonight is her first birthday party and tomorrow is her birthday proper. I can’t believe it’s been a whole year!
