Happy Thanksgiving!

I have had such an itch to scrapbook lately, but have not been able to set aside a block of time. So, between spare moments yesterday and today, I put this digital layout together. My girl is growing up.

Journaling reads: This is the first summer that you took sunbathing seriously. You still very much enjoy swimming, but you are definitely cognizant of the "tan" factor now. I'm glad I caught this moment. I'm sure this will be a familiar sight over the next several years.

On another note, for any family members who might be interested, we are going to Mely and George's mansion (yahoo!!), where I will be helping Mely prepare a traditional Thanksgiving feast. Looking forward to spending time with them ... not looking forward to being in charge of the cooking--that way if something doesn't come out right, it's my fault. There will only be about 30 to 40 people. No pressure! :)

Have a lovely Thanksgiving feast, y'all!

Missing You

We've been having internet problems since last Friday evening. It goes on and off sporadically. Someone should be coming today to fix it (and of course it's working perfectly right now, lol!). I don't usually blog in the middle of the day (too much house stuff to do) , but I gotta grab the internet while I can. I'm desperate! It has actually startled me to realize how connected I am to all of you--even you, Ronalyn, and I have never met you. I have so missed reading blogs, commenting on them, and posting. I have really felt disconnected to you all (yeah, I'm a "recovered hick" but I can't erase that expression from my vocabulary--however, I don't say, "y'all." I do draw the line there. Sorry if I'm offending anyone--as in my sister and brother-in-law, but I don't consider you guys hicks.) . So I hope the person who comes to repair the internet issue can perform a miracle so I don't have to miss you anymore :)

A Rare Moment Captured on Film

No, it's not a rare moment that my kids brush their teeth (well, it would be if left up to them!). I walked into the bathroom tonight to see both my kids in the bathroom brushing their teeth ... and this is the rare moment--they actually got along! I had to run and get my camera to document this rare moment of parental bliss. And now I'm sharing it with you. Now isn't your day more complete?!

Another Layout

Credits here . Can you tell how I've been spending my free time :) I had the most fun taking these pictures! I just asked Ashley to tell me a story (she is quite the storyteller and quite the drama queen--she takes after her aunt, lol!) . As she was telling her GREAT story, I just used the "continuous" mode in the fancy, shmancy camera and shot away. Went to Seal Beach today with Teena . So fun and relaxing. Why don't I have pictures to share? Ummm, I kind of forgot the CF card (to store the pictures on) at home. That's only the second time in less than a week that I've done that. Aren't you proud of me?! In case any of you were wondering, yes, I am a total "spaz." :)
