Mom: February 2007 Archives

Here's Yoshi's peanut butter birthday cake from Three Dog Bakery. Looks like someone at FedEx didn't want Yoshi to have a very happy birthday, since the cake arrived looking like it had been turned upside down and shaken. Seriously, the thing was totalled, but Yoshi didn't care.

Clearly, all rules are suspended on one's birthday.

...somewhat messily, I might add.

Tsuki takes a more ladylike approach to eating her birthday treats, even if she looks a little bit crazy in this picture.

She only finished about 1/4 of what was on her plate, in case you're wondering how a little dog could eat that much.

Happy 4th birthday, Yoshi, you handsome devil!

Yoshi's birthday message to the world.

I started taking a photo class a few weeks ago, and these are the first prints of Yoshi & Tsuki that I've made. Due to dust and some soap residue, they needed quite a bit of retouching in Photoshop. They're still not perfect, but at this size, you can't really see all of the dust specks. Developing film and printing photos is a lot more difficult (and expensive!) than I thought it would be. I like it a lot, but it can be frustrating, since you don't really know if your image has problems until you've gotten to the very end of a looooong process. You know what's weird though, there are people in my class that are so young, they've never taken a photo using film, only digital. If that doesn't make you feel old, I don't know what will.

I'm not going to say who is having a (4th) birthday this Friday, but I'll give you a hint:
