Easter is on it's way!

So, we still don't have the digital camera but I was looking on my friend Anna's blog and she had a tutorial about how to add color to black and white photos. I actually did it! And since Easter is coming, I thought I would share my results. Thanks Anna!





So here is the original picture.

And here is the enhanced photo.
um, it's not loading. I'll try later. :) Anna, could you please post a tutorial on why my pic isn't uploading and how to FIX IT!!! Too big probably. I don't know.

Much, much later... Anna is a GENIUS! She was RIGHT. It was saved funky. Here it is! So cute, eh?

My Family

Some of you that are reading this are new friends that I have met since moving to Rochester a month ago. Others are friends and family that I have known forever. I thought I better post a picture of my family so that if you don't know them, you can see who I'm talking about, or if it has been so long since you saw us that you can't remeber what we look like you'll have a visual. :) I also haven't uploaded a photo for quite a while so I better try my hand at it and see if it works.


I did it! Woohoo! So, here we are. This was taken by my skilled and hip sister-in-law Lindsey. It was taken outside of the Logan LDS temple on the day Cecily was sealed to us. It was beautiful and wonderful. Happy, happy day. If you have no idea what I'm talking about you can go here for a better explanation than I can give: http://www.mormon.org/mormonorg/eng/basic-beliefs/membership-in-the-church/temples-and-family-history Yeah, I did a link. I ROCK!
Anyway, that's us for today. When I finally figure out where our digital camera (bane of my exsistence) is located since the move, I'll post some recent pictures. Really the only difference from the picture above is that Nate now has front teeth (and so does Cecily, come to think of it) and Cecily has gigantic hair that I LOVE!

beginnings

Well folks, here I am. I've done some blogging but never had a blog of my own. I was never sure if what I wanted to post was enough "us" and not just "me" since it was our family's blog. SO, I'm branching out and starting anew. Welcome to Persimmon Poppy. Why the name? The first 302 names I thought of were taken so I decided to go a little outside the box and title my blog with something I love and possibly describes me in a way.
