Lights ... Camera ... Action ...
Jarrett and I set-up a 'photo studio' in our living room - great practice with natural light and my new lens! Enjoy!
Software ...
Can anyone recommend a good software program to create DVD/slideshows with still images and digital video clips?
I was looking at Adobe Photoshop Essentials, but there is also Adobe Photoshop Essentials Premiere - from what I can tell, Essentials is only for still images and Premiere incorporates images and video ... but I am not sure. Are there any other software options???
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Week in Review...
Hi everyone! We had a great week ... here's the short (and long) of it! :)
Monday - Jarrett stayed the night at Grandma and Papa's house. I went to one of my favorite stores and purchased a 'portrait' lens! Yippee! When we both got home we finished up our homeschool work! Daddy worked. Since he is working at the beach, each day after work he goes out 'treasuring hunting' with his metal detector. Jarrett and I are always excited to see what he brings home!
Tuesday - school, work, and football!
Wednesday - Jarrett had hotlunch at school today. Each Wednesday a Jr. High class offers hotlunch to raise funds for their D.C. trip. They usually do pizza, corndogs, and sometimes homemade spaghetti and garlic bread! Jarrett loves hot lunch days...so does Mom! I had my first 'newborn' photo session today! It was such a nice time. And (most) of the pictures came out amazing. Babies are too cute! Into the evening, the 'boys' went to football and mom went to Women's Bible Study! I am so excited for this year.
Thursday - school, work, and football!
Friday - Jarrett spent the day with his Grammy so I could work for a few hours. They had a blast - driving the go-cart, caring for the chickens, and playing with Great-Grandpa's new kitten, Kit.
Saturday - FOOTBALL! Jarrett had a football game on Saturday...in the RAIN! The clouds held their load for most of the game, but I don't think the boys minded much. The 'fans' in the bleachers weren't too thrilled, but we all stuck it out huddled under an EZ-UP! And the boys had a good game and actually put some points on the board! We headed to Roundtable for a team celebration!
Faithful fans a.k.a. family! (Back row: Papa, Grammy, Aunt Gwen, Grandma. Front row: Uncle Misha and Auntie Becca)
The downpour...thankfully it passed quickly!

What Position Do You Play?
"Team Captain" at coin toss...
"Center" ... where is my Mom? (He is always looking for me on the sideline)!
"Offensive Line - Tackle" ... gotta love his 'game face'!
Daddy helped with player playcounts.
Mom was the photographer, water girl, and cheerleader! :)
And the reality of defeat... Visitors (us) 0 - Home 25.

Week in Review...
I started work on Thursday. I am working VERY part-time for my former employer at the law office, billing/bookkeeping. Jarrett said, "Mama, I am not sure I like you working." I told him I would only be working when he is at school - he still isn't too sure!
Jarrett had a great first week of school. On Friday I realized how much work they do each day...my goodness...they are busy!
Friday night we celebrated Auntie Becca's 30th birthday! It was a fun time for all. Here's a link to the photoshow! http://www.photoshow.com/watch/Ib6mz5jc
Saturday Jarrett played his first regular season game! If you ask him, he'll say, "We got 3; the other team got 800."
Jarrett blocking ...
One of Jarrett's faithful fans!
We headed up to Alpine for the remainder of the day and enjoyed a BBQ with the family!
Sunday we went to church and enjoyed the Charger game! A busy weekend, but it was good.
May your week be blessed!

Football, Labor Day, First Day of School, etc...
We have been busy.
Jarrett has been playing a lot of football. His team has played a few scrimmages, a preseason game, and next Saturday is the first regular season game!
We went to the river for Labor Day weekend. Our whole family needed the break! We did a lot fishing, hunting, and floating! It was good. HOT, but good!
Jarrett headed off for 1st grade this morning! He was a little nervous, but he did GREAT! I love his school...it is such a blessing to feel so at peace leaving him there.
UPDATE: Jarrett had a GREAT first day! One of the monitors/aides from last year followed the class to 1st grade, and she said he did so good. She told him how proud she was of him on his progress over the summer with reading and letter formation. I am so proud of him!
