Technical Difficulties and a Back to School Photo Shoot

I'm typing on a new computer and I don't know what I'm doing. We've been wanting a new computer for a while now and with the lightning (all was fine) one of the perks was a new computer. But of course the timing wasn't the best. Scott being an elementary principal is just a tad busy and stressed right now trying to get a school off to a good start. And I'm not the computer person in the house. So some of the programs have been moved over to the new one; some not. I'm looking forward to this weekend when I can ask him a long list of new computer, "where is my..." questions. So for now no 'first day of school pictures' yet.

There is a lot to be told about the first few days of school. All is well now, well sort of. We've had a few bumps in the road with Abigail's allergies and snack time. But I'm sure in time we'll work it all out. For now it's kept me quite busy with extra trips to the nurse, calls, emails and such all day long. I guess I can be thankful for all of that; I haven't had time to let all of this 'my baby is in school' sink in.... but I'll keep ya all posted!

For now just some pictures I took of the girls last week before all of the hoopla. I took them for a little photo shoot at this little mini down town area we have here. There is a cool wall and stairs with the alphabet painted on it in huge letters. I thought it would be a cool back drop for back to school pictures. Of course there was no way we could go there on the first day, so we went the week before. I was mad that I had their back to school dresses on them but forgot to have them wear their new shoes... oh well.

(Oh well, just tried to move pictures from lightroom to photoshop where I edit and change the size to blog size and there are RGB colorspace messages that I just don't get. So no pictures at all for now until I figure this new computer out. I have a feeling that we'll be in front of this computer for a bunch of time this weekend... ugh! Technology! UGh!)

I hope you all (and your kids) have been adjusting nicely to back to school. I can't wait to catch up with you all soon. Happy long weekend everyone!

  1. Tara, you are doing better than me if you are even using your new computer! I have to have my daughters explain EVERYTHING to me! It is like when I was young and had to help my mother use the vcr! And to think I used to laugh at her then... Have a great day!

  5. Hi Tara! Thank you for your super-nice comments! When I travel I lug around my camera backpack with my Nikon D700 and usually my 24-70 2.8, which isn't my favorite lens but has the most useful range. :)
