A Little Something From Halloween

First we have our pumpkins that we painted for the Eve of All Saints Day. Just to be clear these are the Super Paper Mario versions because they were easier to paint.

Next up is Jayden the monkey and his new little brother Isaiah the sleeping pea pod. They came over to our house so that they could Trick or Treat in our enclosed condo association. Well, really only Jayden went Trick or Treating. Isaiah was asleep and incapable of walking and seeing colors at this point.

Here we see Gus dressed up as Link from the Legend of Zelda. There was a Halloween puppy-party at the Merrimack Veterinary Hospital and he pooped in front of everyone.

Finally we’ve got Lindsay’s delicious Caramel Apple Cupcakes (that’s right) and the treats that we handed out to the kids. The cupcakes we brought to the Annual Evancic Halloween Bash. And as usual, we had a ton of candy left over after Halloween that I was destined – destined, I say! – to eat.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Isaiah’s First Day

He had a harrowing tale to finally get to us that I won’t get into here (it’s a little gross, but safe!). And after a couple of days his parents settled on the name Isaiah Gabriel.

Here's Isaiah at almost one full day old.

You would think he was just in a marathon he was so tired.

Well, it wasn't really a marathon it was more of a sprint.

Oooh, he almost rolled over!

By the way, where did that blonde hair come from?

And just a quick P.S. here at the end of the post. All these shots were done with my cell phone and with only minor color correction in Photoshop I think they came out awesome!

The Smiley Movie, Or How I Learned to Love Vimeo

I’m just testing it out now, and this first video is definitely not HD quality, but it already looks better than YouTube. One day Lindsay sent me a couple of stills that she made in PaintShop. I then threw them into a stop motion animation program I had and outputted that to iMovie. I then just repeated and zoomed the first and last image of the animation to lengthen it up a bit and voila! A 12 second smiley face animation! Music was something that I got from the Envato Birthday bundle that was sold this year. It had some great stuff in there.
