Zero to sixty

Zero to Sixty

I like to make the joke that Fuller wakes up going a hundred miles an hour. This doesn’t match up well with my 25 mile an hour mornings, so we have worked out a compromise using the television as a mediator. (Damon’s still in bed.)

While my mornings are only 25 miles per hour, our lives are running at a healthy sixty miles per hour, due to Fuller in our midst. When he made me a mother, he took me from zero to sixty in a split second. Our lives were changed and we haven’t slowed down since. And if we blink, we might miss something.

I love the change of scenery, the lessons learned (and taught), and the excitement that comes with being Fuller’s mother. I wouldn’t slow down for anything else.

    That is an excellent image. Did you do that all on picnik or Photoshop? Very cool.

    She snapped a series of photos of Fuller running using the camera’s “rapid fire” mode. Then, I went in with Photoshop and made each photo a layer, aligned the backgrounds, and masked out everything but Fuller in the upper layers. Voila!

    Came across your website by googling “crumleyfamily” and guess what, there’s a loving Crumley family out here in California.

    I started the site a few years ago to remind everyone of our annual family reunion we started in 1987. Mostley I post birthdays and believe me we got a bunch of them:

    The oldest lady in the middle of the photo is our mom, who produced all six of us kids, and then they multiplied! :)

    Anyways, just thought I’d say hi to a fellow Crumley and love the photo of Fuller.

    God Bless

    @Kenny

    Thanks for stopping by! We have had various Crumleys stop by every once in a while, it is fun to meet everyone!

    We did some research on the Crumley line my husband is from and apparently his ancestors helped settle some of Tennessee up north from where we live.

    Have a great family reunion in July! We usually hang out with our Crumleys for July 4th at Lake Martin in Alabama.

    @Grace thanks for stoppy by! As Damon said, it came from me taking several pictures and then D put them all together in photoshop.

    @Drew Damon put the picture together for me in photoshop. I tried to do it myself, but after three hours I got frustrated. Damon was able to do it in about 30 minutes.
