7 month photo

yeah, i'm a little slow in getting these all fixed up and printed... but here is cole's 7 month photo. it's one of my favorites, and i had a great time getting it all customized and stuff. our laptop came with a trial version of corel paint x2, and while i had some major doubts as to how capable it would really be, i was pleasantly surprised. i have 4 weeks left on it... it's $80 to buy it, and we just might. we'll see. it has some pretty cool stuff so far, but my decision may change as i play around with it a little more. cole is a little jealous of the new computer... makes me wonder what he'd think of a sibling! no, that's not a hint, just wishful thinkin'. anyhoo, i wonder if he'd be just as angry... lol! he more or less is mad because we won't let him play with it, even though we saved the old laptop just for him to bang around on. it will only be a matter of time before he figures out that it doesn't really turn on; same with my old cell that we saved for him to chew on. as long as he's oblivious to the fact that they don't do fun things like mommy and daddy's do, he still thinks he's pretty big stuff- not even 9 months old and already has his own cell and laptop. talk about 'with it'...! as for more everyday photos and stuf, once i figure out exactly what i'm doing when i stick our camera chip in and all that, i'll post more photos. i promise! i'm a little hesitant... new computer, new programs.... pretty scary stuff for the technologically illiterate! so- i'm learning as i go, and since i also have cole to entertain during the day and kelvin wanting to use it too, it's gonna take a little time, i'm afraid. well, unless cole actually springs for a nap, then i can procrastinate with all the other stuff i should do and sit down and really play around on this new thing. i really love it, though! and once again, i fully intend to print out cole's monthly photos (6 months and up...), just waiting to get a printer! it'll be a little while, but i'll get it done...

as for other news, it was actually cloudy today! it didn't rain, but certainly looked like it could have. i have to say, i really did enjoy the break from the sunshine... it's like organic prozac- you get to be happy and shiny whether you want to or not... lol!

ps-i am happy to say that i did NOT have to wait for 5 minutes (literally) for this one single photo to upload. wow! duly impressed, i am...
