life on the farm....

O.k., we don't really live on the farm, but close enough! I took the kids over to this preserve yesterday to take some pics, and we also went with some family friends because they asked me to take some family photo's of them. When i mentioned that i had a great camera but really wished i could learn to "photoshop", my friend Sharon told me they just purchased a "Mac" computer and any "dummy" could edit the photo's with their super easy process that only "Mac's" have.
Well, me being the "dummy", and having access to her computer sounded just too good to be true.

Of course, i still have a lot to learn and figure out, but I was Ecstatic, I tell you, to be able to add just a little bit of and antique look to some of the photo's.

So, there you go, more pics of my kiddo's, and life on the farm.

Off to Cali tomorrow for the weekend...........

Welcome September...

Even though it's just the beginning of Sept., and here in Illinois, its still VERY warm, I love, love, love the Fall.

Really, who wouldn't love the slightly cooler temps, the shades of Autumn, the smells of pumpkin and cranberries?

I got this dress at Gap last weekend for Lola, and the hat is just like one I wear, so now we can dress alike.

Lola is not really a dress wearer, she's such a tomboy, but like her mom, can't pass up something so cute.

Happy September!
