I love making slideshows!

My new hobby is putting together slideshows of our family photographs. My dad gave me a program called Roxio, which has really been fun to experiment with. I learn new things each time, so my slideshows get better each time. I am hoping to put all of my slideshows together on a dvd that we can watch on the tv - one dvd for each year starting with 2007. I just need to learn a few more things first. I will also have to redo my slideshows from our East Coast trip and Benjamin's First Year, because I made those on a website that you can't save them from - you have to buy the movie from them if you want it. But, I have all the pictures on my computer, so it is just a matter of redoing it and finding my own music. I just finished my slideshow of our Disneyland pictures from our fall 2007 trip. Here it is if you would like to watch it.

Out of the Mouths of Babes

Robert was not minding me, and I looked at him and asked him if he was "choosing the right." He looked at me with a wickedly mischievious grin and replied, "no, I'm choosing the left!"

We were reading Robert's Star Wars ABC book. Each page spread has two letters. As I read "M N", he folded his arms and said, "amen."

My son seems to be fascinated with the word "hot." Or maybe he has been hurt by touching something hot? We were reading a Winnie the Pooh book, and when we came to a picture of Winnie the Pooh in the bathtub, he pointed to the picture and said, "hot!" Then he started blowing on the picture.

Robert was laying on my arm as he snuggled with me. Suddenly he sat up, pointed to my arm, and said, "hot!" I said, "my arm is hot?" He nodded his head and started blowing on it to cool it off.
