A couple of weeks ago everyone was deathly ill except for me. Now, we're all healthy and happy. Spiderboy is heading out to Webelos Summer Camp tomorrow ~ it is his first overnight camp. I have been working hard on our homeschool group's yearbook. What an undertaking! We have four or five of our scrapbooking mom's who know how to use Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro designing the pages of a 120 page yearbook. I am going to buy 2 of the books, one for each child. It doesn't matter now, but when the kids are grown, they will appreciate having separate books. One of the things that makes it unique, aside from being a homeschool yearbook, is that it will picture the babies ~ not just the school-aged children.

Here are the kids' individual photos:

These photos were taken by one of our moms. She is so talented. We all think she should open a studio! BittyGirl was being impossible and was having world class a melt down just moments before her photo was taken.

Oh and I forgot to add that Spiderboy got glasses! It was all very sudden. I had no idea he was even having trouble. We went to the doctor for his follow up appointment (from when he was so sick) and I had asked the doctor to do a physical for camp. They did a vision and hearing screening and said that we needed to see an optometrist. I found an eye doctor for him and we went in for a visit. Sure enough, he is farsighted: +1.0 in one eye and +1.25 in the other. He picked out a great pair of glasses and loves wearing them.

Aww, the kids are so precious.

Wonderful idea on the scrapbooks albums, the kids will appreciate them later on in life. We always go back to seek who we are and photos always help us to learn.

Great you have these talented ladies in your midst. I was trying out PaintShop Pro, it works a lot like Adobe Illustrator. I did not buy the software yet. I don’t have a huge hard drive.

Glad to hear the family is well now. Summer illness can be worse than anything in winter months.

I wonder if Spiderboy is going to be homesick??
