We have had a lot of new things happening with us...Jasper turned one, we are expecting his sibling come May, a move up to the Altadena foothills in a nice 1920's house...which I have sadly not recorded on here.
I am going to try to be better with this blog. It just takes patience as the photo uploads can be trying.
Today we took Jasper to the Pasadena Waldorf School's annual Elves Faire which is just a mile away...such a dreamy event.
I wanted to share some photos. The wooded campus which is the historic Scripps Mansion is just the best place for such a faire. It was neat to see actor John C. Reilly manning a jousting ride for toddlers. I guess he is a parent of a Waldorf student. All the parents pitch in as volunteers.
We sat in on an amazing play put on by the 4th grade class- based on Norse mythology- about Thor's Hammer and were blown away by the amount of memorization these little tykes did and all in verse. Really impressive.
These are taking so long to load in, I can't take it anymore!
To see the rest of the set, go to my Facebook photo album from the day HERE.
Wow - congratulations on the new baby! Have you tried making your photos smaller? I know when I see your site in my bloglines the photos are huge and it takes a while for them to show up when I look at your site.

Aw thanks Melanie! We are excited.
You know I figured out after I made that post that the pictures were monstrously huge. I have a new digital camera and the default setting is for huge photos. I have already reset it and when I get a chance I will resize the photos on this post. Thanks for the heads up! I need all the tips I can get to keep me blogging.

My photo tip is this: edit them all to 72 dpi (a computer screen doesn't have higher resolution than that anyway) and make them about 6 x 4.5 in size. That's what I do anyway. :) I use photoshop but I'm sure they can be easily edited in iPhoto.
I give this advice so you keep blogging and posting photos. :)
