Ten on Tuesday

1. This is day two of snow day/no school. Yesterday was actually fun. The day went something like this. Bundle the kids to play outside, snow ball fights, snow angels, come inside, drink hot chocolate, kids watch tv, I do laundry, bundle the kids to play outside, snow ball fights, snow angels, come inside, drink hot chocolate, kids watch tv, I do laundry, repeat, repeat, repeat.

2. Day two of no school will hopefully be a little more productive. Meaning, the kids are going to be doing some major cleaning.

3. I'm trying to get back into P90X, exercise program. I did some again yesterday and, I am feeling it today!

4. For Christmas we gave our kids a plasma car. I was little worried about giving it to them since they had not asked for one. My son is on it all the time. I hear the hum of the car as a type. I need to take pics.

5. Before the snow fall, I was in a rut. I don't know if it was seasonal affective thing going on, but I bought some flowers. Flowers remind me of spring. Spring reminds me of hope. Hope is a good thing.

6. Here is a picture of the flowers. I plan on posting some more pics later this week. I've been playing around with textures.




7. I have begun reading the book, Crazy Love, by Francis Chan. So far, so good.

8. I just reread my 1-7. It just sounds so blah, blah, blah. I guess I am still am in a rut. Spring come, come quickly.

9- 10. I think I am going to go straight to ten. Here's some pictures of my daughter in the snow yesterday. This girl makes me laugh. She is just plain silly some times.

Photoshop magic

Sometimes pictures need a little photoshop magic.
Which is why I take a bazillion pictures when I am shooting little kids.
Prime proof, here are my kids....

The first picture, my son has a great, fun smile while my daughter has her eyes closed. The second picture, my son is giving me the "enough of the pictures" look while my daughter is striking the perfect pose.
Picture quandary? Well not if you have some photoshop magic.



Or maybe it's a windy day and the hair is blowing uncontrollable.



Poof the hair problem is gone.



Yeah, Photoshop. It's a good thing.

Winner

The winner of the 2010 favorite image contest is......


Drum roll please..........






The anticipation is killing me.......





And


Yes, we have two winners.
These two pictures have been battling it out for a week.
Family and friends have been determined to cast their vote for their beloved image even if they did not quite understand how to do it.
After receiving many votes outside of Jen Klamm photography facebook page, it was too hard to accurately determine the winner. I even had e-mails sent to me to cast their vote.
Determination, I like that and like to reward it.
So two winners it is. Yay!
I will contact the winners on Monday to discuss details of their winnings (a CD of images from their photo session (s)).
Congratulations!
Thanks to everyone who voted.

Merry Christmas

From my home to yours
Praying for a very blessed Christmas!





And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

“Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
Luke 2:8-14
