That, my friends, is a four-year-old boy. Unbelievable.
Liam had a pretty great day, with the gifts first thing, playing with them all morning, party all afternoon, and lots of cake. I did take pictures I swear, but I've been having some technical difficulties and can't seem to get them up here.
And then I had my birthday. My thirty {cough} third. It was good too, although Mark left my wrapped presents on the kitchen table and went off to work before I woke up, essentially torturing me all day. Just like Mother's Day, there were some sad moments, but it was a nice day (Friday is a girls' night out, so that should be a nice day too). One thing I got:
And the technical difficulties continue.
Not the yarn, of course, but the winder. Now try to expain the need for one of those to a non-knitter. A swift is on order, and then I expect the fun level around here to really skyrocket. (Really).
Oh geez, what am I doing? Okay, I just switched to a Mac and I have no little idea what I'm doing. It's been a long time since I used one and there are some basic things (like, oh, rotating pictures and having them stay rotated) that I just can't seem to figure out. Rather than play around any more, I'm just going to leave them this way until I have a fresher brain. But I still love this thing more than my last five PCs put together. Lookie:
We've spent a great deal of time in front of the little camera thingy. Isn't this one especially lovely?
Happy Birthday! To you and Liam!
Connor will be 4 on the 23rd, I didn't realize they were so close in age.
Those are really neat pictures! I love fooling around with stuff like that!

Happy b-day, Katherine - we're the same age, so really, you just celebrated your 29th birthday for the 5th time! Yay!
(If you're using iPhoto, there should be a rotate button on the bottom left of the screen - you can do this is organize mode, or when you're looking at only the one photo. If you're using an older Mac, uh, I'm lost. Sometimes, you can flip photos on your camera before you load them into your computer. Good luck!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Both to you and Liam! Did you ever think he would be 4 years old? Did you ever thing you would be, well, you know? :) :)
Welcome to the dark side. :) Where are the crazy morph pictures? Those are our fave with the little camera. When I download to blogger, I have to rotate the vertical photos horizontal and then for some reason them come up correctly. Why? I have no idea. I know, my technical skills astound you. You might want to give that a try.

OMG. I just noticed Liam's finger is in his nose. *hysterical laughter*

Happy belated birthday!
It took me many spins to get my winder technique to where I wanted it- which of course, begs the question of how I can be so bad at something that requires no skill.
Is the pink for you or O?

Happy birthdays! Even sideways, your photos are lovely.
