happy birthday
11 years ago a little girl turned 7, today she turns 18, and through the magic of photoshop, they're sharing the same table. I wonder what the kind, disciplined, thoughtful teenager might tell her younger self... Hopefully not much, cuz we love what she's become.
Happy Birthday Grace
beach party
New Years ~ Beach party ~ Lake Superior
Said no one ever. Lucky for us, had the place to ourselves.
ps. it was cloudy, and... I cheated again.
skate the lakes
Skating Hartley pond.
~full disclosure... sky was slate gray, totally cloudy, so I decided to have a little photoshop fun :-)
another dud
This was the first concept. The scale of things didn't work out the way I wanted and the dogs were a nightmare to get sitting by the fire.
I've got another idea in the works - fingers crossed.
princess Ange"Leia"
Thanks to Luke, Han and Chewie, Angela escaped the Imperial Army just in time for Sci-fi day and East High School's homecoming week.
way easier
Been working on this for weeks... When I realized that a counterweight would make pulling the front wheel up way easier. The bags of dog food in the back helped a little, the steel barbell was better but kept falling off. Then Isabel showed up. With her back there the big bike wheelie is a snap.
ps. ;-)
handstand shenanigans
Grace demos the new and improved gymnastic bar. The metal brackets to the old one were actually torn in half in some particularly windy weather.
"shenanigans" = secret or dishonest pixel maneuvering or manipulation.
tropical twist
The last meet of the year had a tropical theme... in the not so tropical St. Cloud, Minnesota.
