Photoshop

I snapped this photo of Sophia Easter weekend.  The sun was shining on her face and the wind was blowing her hair.  I played around with the image in Photoshop.  I can’t decide if I like the original or one of the edited photos best.  Maybe the third one?

Spring Break, Part II

Mike’s parents were kind enough to give us some time without the kids during our “Spring Break”.  Sebastian and Sophia were treated to a visit to the Science Museum, a movie and a sleepover at Nana and Papa’s house. Meanwhile, Mike and I enjoyed two days and one night on our own.  We did some shopping, relaxing and went out to dinner the first day.  The second day we drove over to Como Park and walked around Como Lake, went to the Conservatory and the Zoo.  We had perfect Spring weather.  Here’s a bit of what we saw.

Spring Break

Sebastian was on Spring Break from school last week.  We decided to take a couple of days off from work and spend some time in the Twin Cities.  We stayed at a hotel for two nights and spent another night with Mike’s parents.  The kids had a chance to enjoy the hotel pool.  Sophia showed off her new swimming skills and Sebastian had fun with cannon balls and swimming under water.
