Sunflower Seeds: the old look is back

cast of characters

Shad - Is a early 40-something veterinarian, father of four and husband to moi. He's my rock. I couldn't have completed four international adoptions without this guy.

Tami - I'm a late 30-something, mother of four, child of God and recovering journalist. Since our move to Wyoming last summer, I've been a SAHM trying to keep up with the kids and find time to do some freelancing.

Alek - Adopted from Russia in '99, he's 11 years old and all boy. He loves playing sports, holds his own in school and dreams of either being a candy-taster or an airline pilot when he grows up.

Anya - Adopted from Russia in '02, she's 8 years old and all girl. Anya loves dolls, playing dress-up and anything pink, but don't let that girly exterior fool you. She is also quick to join in a pick-up game of football with her brothers.

Nick - Also adopted from Russia in '02, Nick is proof that big things come in small packages. Eight-year-old Nick has the personality of a giant! He loves to ride his bike, play video games, play sports and tries really hard to keep up with his brother. He also works overtime to keep us all in stitches!

Maddie - We brought 5-year-old Maddie home from Ukraine in Feb. '08 and life in our household hasn't been the same since! She's an animated, extroverted, bundle of energy. I dare you to try and keep up!

the old look is back

I give up.
I've spent the last two days tweaking.
I've scoured the internet for a new look.
Loaded and reloaded template upon template.
But alas, (again with that word), I just can't find anything that works for me...or for Sunflower Seeds. And since I'm too cheap to pay for a new look and can't find anyone crazy enough to design something at no charge...I'm going back to the 'old' look, at least for now.
It'll take me a little while to reload the template...I'm hoping that, along with removing some of the elements, will get rid of some of the glitches.
If it doesn't let me know and I'll rethink my options.

Tina in CT, May 27, 2009 1:59 PM: I love this header and the other sunflower one you had some time ago. Why change a good thing?
Tammy, May 27, 2009 3:18 PM: I agree, it looks good! I would love to figure out 1/2 the things you have on your site! Don't worry!
Elaine, May 27, 2009 3:18 PM: This is a good look. And? I also had somebody else's blog load and reload itself a million fraggillion times. I don't remember which one it was. Hmm . . . Maybe Michelle's, now that I think about it, and I've also had problems leaving comments over there lately. So I figured it was just a case of my crappy vista not playing nicely with blogger.
MoonDog, May 27, 2009 5:20 PM: I like it this way.
