Dreary Days and Mondays

This weekend was pretty low key. The sky was totally grey and the days were hot and humid. I don't think we really even went outside for any length of time on Saturday as we hid out in the AC. Even the boys who are always outside. Yesterday I brought them to a pool for a little bit before the thunderstorm rolled in for a change in scenery. They practiced diving. Joshua got the push off but was having a hard time keeping his head tucked. Jacob on the other hand was doing great. He looked so cute. He had seen a former swim team girl demonstrate for a boy there the other day. He steps right up on the edge, grabs the edge with his hands, arms out, push off and goes in. He looks like a little penguin because he doesn't go far under with his life vest on. Of course he needs to work on his enouragement a little bit "Joshua,watch me. I can do it and I'm 4 and you're 6!!!"


I started on my project to scan in my pictures to put them on CD's. Man what a project that will be. I wanted to start with my wedding pictures but for some reason could only find half of them. That was weird because all of our lose pictures are in one cabinet. Jim reminded me as I was off to bed that the were in an album. Oh yeah, after 6 years of marriage Auntie bought us an album to put our pictures into. Duh. Oh well. Started on some others. I got about an inch thick done in the 40 or so minutes I worked on it (I didn't start til after 10:15ish). We have at least three boxes that are 10-12 inches long. This project is going to take some time. But will be well worth it. So many times you take photos and they sit in a drawer. I haven't even put any in albums for 6 years. There are just too many with the digital cameras and all. I put about 700-800 from my computer onto the disks and watched them on the TV through the DVD player. It was cool to get to see the year in review, especially as we take far less video than we use to also. It will be even more fun to watch the older pictures.


Here are some that I scanned last night. I'll have to put some on periodically as I go.
