back to the beginning

I think there are several things factoring into my funk. Jonah not sleeping much during the day is one (in addition to the crap that is EB and this poo poo weather that's keeping us inside). Because he won't nap more than thirty minutes when not in my arms, I feel like I don't really have time to do any of the million projects I have in my head that I want to do. (I am a terrible Sit-Around-the-Houser... always have been. It puts me in a very foul mood.)

Anyway, one of the "me" things I've been wanting to do is go back and edit and upload to Shutterfly the pictures we've taken (well, the decent ones at least) since Jonah's been born. I'm wanting to make photo books (really super easy through Shutterfly) of all the photos from this past year. The problem with digital is that you don't get your pictures printed, and the problem with paper photos in general is that they end up in a box in the closet. So I hope the photo books will be a nice way to have them printed but still easy to view. Once I get done with that I'd like to go back and scrapbook (Thanks a lot, Katherine, for making me want to scrapbook again... like I even have time for that) at least his first year. Yes, this is all going to take forever. No, it will probably never happen.

So last night, instead of blogging, I edited the photos of Jonah's birth day. Lauren took these, but I edited them, so if you don't like the editing job, blame it on me (or Pioneer Woman... they're mostly her actions.) Lauren put a lot of these on her blog last February, but I don't think I've posted many of them here. I'll try to post a few here and there as I go back and edit all of these older photos. It's pretty amazing to see just how far Jonah has come and how much he's grown!











(And just to clarify the Target incident - the "girl" was at least in her twenties. It would not have made me as mad had she been a child or even a teenager. And I know I shouldn't get mad and should use the opportunity to educate, but if you had seen how she was staring at him and making a scene, you wouldn't have wanted to educate either. She was completely out of line. I'll maybe get to that place with time, but honestly I just wanted to kick her in the teeth... inspirational, huh?)
