New Pictures

Last weekend Nicole and I took Ryan out to take some pictures of him. I wanted real ones
that showed his character, but also his really fun side. Plus, I didn't want the kind of "little
kid" pictures that we've been getting for so long!
So here is one of the resulting images. (definitely more to follow):

Here is a layout that I put together tonight with this picture. I did it using a kit that I
purchased at www.designerdigitals.com. The designer's name is Jessica Sprague. She's
created this whole new layout walk-through series. This one was entitled, "Extracting a pattern to create an overlay". If you are at all interested in digital scrapbooking, check her out!

The journaling reads:

Ryan, I cannot express to you how I feel when
Ilook at this picture. You look so old to me, and
yet you are only ten! I try to tell you often what
a great kid you are and I hope you know that
when I say that, I really mean it. You are kind and
generous. You areso good to your siblings (most of
the time), & you are so much fun to be around!
I love you!
