Turn off the blog music and hit play. Preview of what I have done so far. Mom I still need to add you and grandma and a couple pics of you and dad with baby Joelle.

UG! I just watched this one and it is not quite right. First there is a pic of Mom and Jeleen on it twice- I already fixed that and then a couple near the end are out of order- that is fixed too. It ends with Mom and Dad in Boise- current one and it followed by the original wedding shot. I have made those changes- but believe it or not uploading it to the web is a major pain in the ass as I have to convert the file. I originally did it on idvd and had to switch to imovie to convert to quick time and then upload. Since it is almost 2 am and my laptop battery is at 15% I am quitting for tonight, BTW it also flows a wee bit faster as the songs and the slideshow end at the same time. Obviously I have some spots to work out on this.

Oh my team won 3-2 and I scored the winning goal!! :)

So according to the scale at the gym I have lost nine pounds. This is good. I assume the scale at the gym is more accurate than the one I have at home. :)

I just finished up report cards and am going to move on to editing the slide show for the party. Since I am removing a number of pictures I may also remove a song so it doesn't seem too long. i am not sure exactly what I am going to do with it. Hopefully I will figure out how to post it here so you al can look at it before the party.
