Tonight Sam grabbed the camera and spent some time “documenting my night without the girls.” He said that. I’m not joking. The girls are at camp this week, so the little medium guy is living it up by being the only child left in the house. (We even put on a play…directed by Sam and starring Duckie: The Fire Fighting Duck.) Tonight’s Slice is what he captured.

Ruth,
This is beautiful! Can you let me know what you used to create this: I would love to try it out with a new poem.

I used Photoshop Elements 9.0. I learned how to use the program by taking an online class (Up & Running with Photoshop) through Jessica Sprague.

Your montage is fabulous! I love how Thomas showed up in Sam's play…we can't get enough of 'Omas around here :). Write on and take care!

Quite special to see how your son likes doing what you do, & capturing moments of his life. Great gift you've given him, including the cute duck! It's fun to see what you can do with Photoshop. I'm envious.

What a great moment. You can the see join and specialness in each snapshot. You can't go wrong with Thomas and personal time with the parents. SO special.

I think that youngest children named Sam must have some extra gene that allows them to come up with these special ways of saying things. Mine called from a friend's house the other day to see “if there is a possibility I might acquire my overnight things?” Yep.
