Oh, What a Relief it is....
Even though I've been juggling life, motherhood and wifehood, designing, work and school and doing O.K. at creating time for all, something has been lacking. And I will tell you honestly right now (Mom, Dad, take warning....since you are coming up next week......), my housecleaning has taken a dive! UUUUGh! It's a dark, hidden burden in the back my mind that eats at me daily, but I can't do much about. Until the other day when I had some extra time. I'd been walking into Max's room and looking at how he had his toys strewn across the room, tucked into every nook and cranny! Well... no more (for a couple months anyway). I spent an entire day in Max's room and an entire day in Zoe's room last week, and now, we are organized. It is so nice to see the kids enjoy and appreciate what they have and willingly give what they no longer need to others. We pulled three boxes and a bag out of Max's room, and one box and one bag out of Zoe's.

Our Baby's Growing Up
Here's a layout I just did tonight of Max with Lily the week we brought her home a few months ago. If you like this quick page, it and the entire kit it took to create it will be in the January Ezine at SBB very soon as a FREEBIE!
Max and Lily, August, 2007
and here they are tonight..
Max and Lily, November, 2007 (watching a movie about a dog, of course, in the beanbag chair together).
