Cool! So that's just a template on Picasa?

Yes, there are various collage options. For the most flexibility you should probably go with "Picture Stack" (or whatever it's called) and then just drag, reorient and resize your images around, but this is "Mosaic", where you don't have much control over the size, placement or order of anything. Just whacked them in there, added text and there you go.
It's just struck me how the leap from 8 months to 10 months seems quite significant, physically. Faces mature quite a bit in that period, it seems.

(And note how Tallulah - only 5 pounds at birth and incredible-expanding-baby thereafter - fits into that ye-ye dress at half the age her sister did!)
― Michael Jones, Wednesday, 21 October 2009 11:19 (fifteen years ago)
It's incredible how Ava-like and Lulu-like they both look from the very start. Tallulah totally wins on comedy expressions, though (still the case, I think).
― Madchen, Wednesday, 21 October 2009 17:55 (fifteen years ago)
Yep. Ava is earnest and (often) sweet, Lulu is just a total goon.

Both Ben and Owen wanted to be DJ Lance for Halloween.

Archie gets to grips with a bit of mushed carrot!
He has also reinstated a night feed <yawn>... and has two teeth, and no compunction about using them while feeding <ouch>

After a lantern-lit walk around the local rec ground in the dark, Ava and three friends head back to the house...

those costumes!!!
― musically, Sunday, 1 November 2009 02:47 (fifteen years ago)
yeah, those are great. we went with a $10 off-the-rack outfit from kmart that he picked out. last year he didn't really want to wear a costume at all, so we were hoping that by letting him pick one he'd be more into it. which worked pretty well, he did actually go trick or treating for a while. the whole thing still sort of weirds him out tho -- he was excited but also sort of unsure what he was supposed to do and why.

Hallowe'en isn't really a big tradition in the UK (getting bigger though), in fact I think there's a fair amount of resistance to it here as it's perceived as an imported US notion and it's only 6 days before Guy Fawkes' Night. But Pam is American and she's been determined to pumpkinize London one postcode district at a time since 1998. Tallulah's birthday is Nov 2, so that's close enough for a spooky party as far as we're concerned. Two years ago I think only three or four dressed up - this year was full-on ghosts, skeletons, witches and kitties from the SE19 clan. And Pam's spider outfits of course.
Trick-or-treat is simply a four-stop pre-planned sweet-swop in the immediate neighbourhood. No candy until Thanksgiving now.

Hallowe'en isn't really a big tradition in the UK
when i was in manchester in 1991 i remember on oct. 13th seeing a group of kids trying to trick or treat. they rang the buzzer at one house and this pakistani guy came out and listened to their spiel and very patiently said, "we don't celebrate that, because we're muslim. but also, i think you have the wrong night." and the kids were all indignant -- "no, it's halloween!"
