Graeme's Birthday

Graeme turned 11 yesterday!!! That means I have been a mommy for 11 years. Boy am I getting old. For me my children's birthday is also a time to reflect on how I am doing as a parent. I like to check in so to speak. The thing I am loving about this age is that G is so excited about everything, he loves beign around his family and friends and also loves doing solo activities. He is so smart and makes many wise cracks that I am constantly LMAO at. The thing i don' t like is that he is becoming so independant and often can do things on his own... in other words without my help. I know that this is part of life and part of the lifecycle, but it is very difficult sometimes to watch this little person that was so dependant on you, not needing you so much anymore.

Here are some photos of the birthday. All he wanted was a skateboard, " just like dad's"!!! We got him the parts and he and Bruce (dad) spent the afternoon putting it together and he lOVES it.

Halloween

I don't think I need to say too much about these as the pic with all the candy pretty much says it all.

I'VE BEEN PUBLISHED!!!!

This is very excitng thing for me. I was asked by my dear friend Vanessa to be a part of her design team. I was flattered but also feeling a little intimitated. I almost thought she was kidding. To see my work on the internet is so humbling... but also really cool.

I will be adding a new layout every week. So keep checking back EVERY Friday.



Here are the first two. Enjoy!!!
