Edits, Camping and Standers

Filed Under: Family, Photography, Special Needs Tagged With: cerebral palsy, Holoprosencephaly

Here is my edit of Jen from Mama Schell Says photo. I wanted to make it look like an old timey painting. What do you all think?

I did a lot to this photo. I first opened it up in Camera Raw and made slight adjusment {though it looked good SOOC} Then I ran some of my favorite Pioneer Woman actions. I then added Kim Klassen’s Granny’s Cupboard texture. I then used Pixel Blender’s Oil Paint effect.

Here there are beside together so you can compare.

 
My Before & After Edit
This is one from our camping trip. Dustyn is so adorable. Love his sweet smile.

{Rollover image to see the before}

 

Here is Carsyn in his new {loaned} stander. He LOVES it. He looks so big and tall in it. We are still waiting to hear from insurance whether they will pay for any of his equipment.
Dustyn giving Carsyn a kiss.
Obviously those were taken with my new iPhone. Yippee. I really do love it and love all the cool photo apps. I will have to do a post on them all one day.

 

One last one for Texture Thursday. This was taken while camping also.

Love my new Aglaonema Sparkling Sarah (Chinese Eve Love my new Aglaonema Sparkling Sarah (Chinese Evergreen) I picked up from @_rootsplantco this past weekend. The pink is gorgeous and I love it’s name.
6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.
Sweet pea. Sweet pea.
Freaking freezing soccer nights. 🥶🥶🥶 It Freaking freezing soccer nights. 🥶🥶🥶

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.

Two and a half months after her first tooth she fi Two and a half months after her first tooth she finally lost her second tooth. It’s been hanging on barely. Today while eating lunch I told her it was close to coming out and we would need to pull it before bed. While eating chicken teriyaki she thought she swallowed it and spit out the chicken in her mouth. I dug through it and it wasn’t there. She started freaking out. Then looked on the chair and it was sitting right there. 🤣 A similar thing happened with Prestyn on one of his bottom teeth. My kids never want to pull them out until they fall out on their own. Ha.

My monstera deliciosa had some droopy leaves, so I My monstera deliciosa had some droopy leaves, so I asked my friend Molly at @_rootsplantco what she thought would be best. She recommended this wooden trellis from Lowe’s that cost less than $15. I tied up the droopy leaves with twine. There is lots of room left for growth.
I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendro I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendron white wizard when I first got it, I also didn’t give it enough sunlight. So it was growing soooooo slow. I finally repotted it a couple weeks ago, moved it closer to a window, and started using plant food from @happyhappyhouseplant. Not sure what made the most difference but the leaf opened and now a new one is already starting. Hoping it won’t take as long this time.
