Thanks for coming everybody! We loved the visit and

miss having you here (Manni is especially missing all of

the attention from his Aunts, Uncles and Grandparents.

Lemon Pies

This is a picture of the lemon merangue pie I made Scott

for his birthday. He made me one for my birthday and it

was so runny and gross that we threw it out. Then he

tried again but used orange instead of lemon juice. . . that

was even worse than super runny! So I conferred with

Aunt Judy on the recipe and then tried my (expert) hand

at it and it turned out delicious!

We made a strange new pie last night. . . I forgot to take

a picture before we ate it though. It was a lemon curd

cheese cake with chocolate grahm crust. Sounds pretty

strange but it just tasted really lemony and creamy. I

may repeat but not with a regualr grahm crust.

I just threw this pic in since he is so cute!

At home studio pics

Scott and I made an attempt to get studio lighting pics at home. . .

we have this swanky camera that we never use to it's full potential

so we decided to try some of the features besides auto. We set up a

shop spot light with a white sheet in front of it and a blue sheet

from Manni's bed as the back drop. The results were darling

but very yellow from the spot light. Dad taught me some cool

photoshop tricks and I got some pretty cute results albeit

a little yellow still. . . pretty good first attempt!
