I nonetheless haven't gotten the hold of the brand new pics app on my Macbook (pix is different from iPhoto), so i have never switched over to using it but. It was a massive hassle for me whilst seeking to do a Motivational Monday post, because whilst I may want to store pics from emails to snap shots, they just disappear when I visit upload them on my blog. I hoped it turned into an issue that might subsequently just repair itself, however it nevertheless would not paintings. So, i have been taking display screen shots of snap shots within the MM emails, that is a actually lame way of doing it, however I can't discern out any other way (there's no option to save at once to iPhoto). If Apple stages out iPhoto altogether, I may be definitely misplaced.
anyway, it was a laugh going through heaps of snap shots! i really like searching at photos of the boys after they had been sincerely young. here are a couple of favorites:
 |
| Aunt Jeanie bought a skeleton and torso with removable parts for Noah, because he LOVED learning about anatomy! He could name all the bones and organs in preschool, haha. |
 |
| Eli's adorable smile |
here is a video of Noah that is simply lovely. We used to take films to e-mail to Uncle Nathan even as he became in Iraq, and this one was for Halloween. I didn't pretty count on what befell ;)
His voice absolutely melts my coronary heart now. You don't even realise how much they change until you look lower back at pix or movies and see such massive variations!
i've an iPhoto folder called "Motivation", that's complete of photos of while i used to be at my aim weight. they're pics that motivate me to live on course (that became the motive of the folder, besides). at the same time as going thru them the day before today, I found out that i'm the equal length now that i used to be in those pictures, which turned into sort of interesting. I also located a few photographs from before I misplaced the load that might make precise "earlier than" snap shots ;)
I had to force up to Detroit nowadays to go to the orthopedist's office, and that i drove right via the health facility that I stayed at when I broke my jaw. It reminded me that the previous day marked five years because the day I broke it. There are loads of factors that take me back to the fact of November 2010... once I see Pumpkin Eggnog within the shops, i am reminded of all the quarts of it I drank at the same time as my jaw became stressed out shut; when i take advantage of bouillon cubes for any recipe, due to the fact I drank a lot broth for more than one months; a couple of black pajamas that my mom sold me, and i wore loads within the couple of weeks after coming home; and some other random things. fantastically, i have true reminiscences of the entirety. It turned into awesome to look my whole circle of relatives collectively (my brothers and sister stayed for numerous days once I were given domestic).

the next day marks four years due to the fact that I had my skin elimination surgery! That anniversary feels even stranger, due to the fact I blogged about that complete enjoy--from the time I went to my first consult to the healing and observe up. perhaps i will have Jerry take some new pics of my stomach, to reveal what it seems like 4 years put up-op. i'm nevertheless so happy that I had the surgical operation, and if I had been to move back in time, i'd do all of it once more.
besides, i really like searching through snap shots, and it feels so properly to have them organized now. My subsequent challenge, with the intention to take a long time so i'm now not certain when i will do it, is to undergo and pick out my favorite pictures of each of the youngsters (likely 100 or so) and get them published to make an album. after they had been toddlers, I did scrapbooking, in order that they each have a nice scrapbook. but I don't try this anymore, and i can't even don't forget the final time I were given images revealed.
we've a quite low-key weekend planned, except for Sunday morning. Jerry signed us all up for the hot Chocolate 5K. I definitely forgot about it till yesterday. it is one of the races that his company will pay for, so all four people get to do it at no cost to us, that is high-quality (racing as a circle of relatives is steeply-priced!). Eli requested me to run with him this time (last 12 months, for a Halloween 5K, I ran with Noah). Noah can be jogging solo, unless Jerry can keep up with him! haha. with a bit of luck we've suitable weather!
