New Computer & Picture Editing

Well folks, my sweet husband bought me a new computer. The old one was beginning to get on our nerves a bit. The best part about the new one, is that I can now edit photos a little better. It really annoys me to have pictures that are too dark or have redeye in them. Now, I am not totally confined to using a downloadable internet program to fix the pictures...my computer has a great program on it already. It has some new features that I haven't used before, so I am having a blast editing the twins' photos. These pictures were cute to begin with, but now take a look at these....

The first picture is of Lexi....

Here is Daddy and his Lilly

Lexi again...

Lilly..this one makes me smile!

3 more of Lilly...

Lexi in her sunglasses...being glamorous! The last two are of Lexi...I am so excited to see what else I can do with pictures! I'll keep ya'll posted.

Prayer Request

I have a prayer request...I know of a couple living in the Dallas area. They are a friend of a friend and are grandparents. Their daughter apparently had severe drug use issues, and died from an overdose...all while her small child observed the whole lifestyle.

The grandparents now have custody. The huge issue is that the little boy has so many deep and severe mental problems that no mental hospital will keep him. I think he has been kicked out of several. He is a huge threat not only to himself, but to all others around him. I hear he is a smart kid.

So his grandparents had no other choice but to take him today to a mental facility in the Dallas area and basically turn him over to the State of Texas. They are heartbroken and wish they could help him.

I do not know all the problems he has, but he is only 11 years old. I know this couple wishes that they could help him since they were unable to help their daughter, but at this time, they are doing the only thing they can do. Please pray for peace for them and for their grandson to get the help he needs. Thanks!!

Lexi...

Lexi took her first step today...then did it again, and again, and again!! 1 step each time, but she seems to like it! Here we go...

We are proud of you, sweetie!! Now we wait for Miss Lilly....

13 Months Of Fun...

My girls are just so much fun. I know I say that all the time, but right now, they are saying new words every day and just blossoming into the coolest little kids I know. I am so proud to be their mom!! They turned 13 months old last week and in true "Sarah" form, I took some pictures. I also had 2 sweet videos of Lexi that I wanted to post. So to make it fair, I included more pictures of Lilly! :)

Here is the 1st video of Lex...

Lexi has learned to rock her horse on her own and likes doing it...

Lexi likes to blow into the legos and make noises...can you see the serious look on her face? :)

She had just ripped the bow out of Lilly's hair and was studying it...

What a sweet expression...the rest of the pictures are of Lilly.

Playing with her sister's doll...

Posing with her grandmother (on top)...she wanted to see if we could see the "Hermann girl" family resemblance. I think she is still ALL her Daddy's baby!!
I am enamored with their little feet and toes...
Her new thing...pull out all the books and climb into the basket. Then ask Mommy to read one of the books she threw on the floor.
I just love this picture of her...even if it is of the back of her head.

And here is the 2nd video of Lexi...All we have to say is, "Lexi, dance!! Dance, sweetie!!" And this is what she does...no music or anything!

Tonight Eric and I went on a date and had our babysitter over...I kissed the girls and got hugs from both, and then they went right back to playing with Kelia. Not at all sad to see us go...but we got hugs and kisses when we returned. They stayed up waiting for us in their cribs...see, such good and sweet little girls!!
