Time for an Update

So..... our house is a little bit calmer than it has been the past couple days. I still need a nap (or two) to make up for some lost sleep, but I don't think it's going to happen.

I have officially entered into the crazy part of my year. Our music ministry is putting together a full-scale Christmas musical this year. I told the choir that musical productions are not my favorite things to do. I was honest. . . you have to give me that. But, the general consensus was that everyone wanted to do it, so I agreed.

I have an amazing support network helping with the musical. A very talented young man is directing the drama portion. I sat in on a drama rehearsal tonight - just to give some feedback, and help cue lines. It's going to be very good.

BUT.....the production will take place in exactly one month - and there's still an awful lot to accomplish until the curtain goes up. Actually, our curtain goes from side to side, but you know what I mean.

So, those issues aside, things are humming along at our house. Edison's 12th birthday is on Wednesday. Where did those years go? I can still remember those last couple days, waiting for my first baby. He was such a precious baby. He was a BIG baby.

But, I'll devote Wednesday's blog entry to him. I'll have my kleenex ready, because I can't talk about my kids without crying. Isn't motherhood amazing?

Here's a layout I did tonight of Caroline with Miss Mint's "Blue Lavender" kit. It was a freebie I downloaded a few months back. I love it - but I just hadn't had time to use it. I also used an alpha that Melany designed for me. She's just the greatest.

This series of pictures that I took of Caroline in October has given me so much to scrap with. I could've played with virtual photographer and re-colored this picture, but it seemed best done in its original form.

I've named it "Flower Child." Enjoy. . .
