Teacher Gifts

I just wanted to share a project I did with Matthew's class for his teacher Miss Sullivan.

I went to school and had each of the kids in his class put their thumbprint on a flower pot.   When I got home I drew an animal or flower from the thumbprint and put the child's name next to their print.  Around the top of the pot it says "Thanks for helping us grow".

The final project was a big hit with the kids and Miss Sullivan.

Weekend Away!

We had so much fun this past weekend in New Hampshire, I thought I would post some of the photos.

We took the  boys fishing on Saturday and as soon as you put your line in the water within 20 seconds you would catch a fish.  So it wasn't challenging but it sure did keep them entertained.  The boys caught baby bass and sun fish as well as a frog.

This is one of the fish that Matthew caught.

This is a photo of the lake we went fishing (not too sure of the name).

This is my favorite photo from the weekend.  It was taken on Father's Day!

Nicholas's catch of the day!

He's Here! He's Here!

Nathan Thomas made it safely into this world at 1:18am.  He was 7 lbs. 14oz and 19 inches long.

Both mum and dad are over the moon.

I just LOVE his hair! ! ! !

The proud new dad showing his mum, Nathan. 

I'm not sure if Nicholas knew what to do with Nathan at first.

This is a photo of Matthew with Nathan, both boys fell head over heels for this little guy.  They think he is AWESOME.

Waiting Patiently

Well, my poor sister-in-law has been in labor since 1am this morning.  Now almost 24 hours later she is in the hospital waiting for the little one to enter the world. 

It makes me think back to the days that both my boys were born.  I was very lucky to have had very quick labors with both boys.  Matthew (my first) was a total of 3 hours and Nicholas was a total of 5 hours.  They both came too fast for any drugs which was ok with me because I am deathly afraid of needles and ivs.

Anyhoo, have a great night and hopefully I will be a proud auntie in a couple of hours.

Good Morning!

Just a quick post, we are on our way out the door to chaperone Matthew's field trip today.  His class is going on the "Duck Tours".  It should be pretty cool.

Here is a layout I did using the Chasing Butterflies collection from Daisy D's.

Have a great weekend!

Catch Up!

Oh, my poor little blog has been so neglected lately.  We have had such a busy month I don't know where to begin......

2 baby showers

1 baby born

1 communion

3 graduations

This is just a FEW of the things we had going on, not to mention getting my classes ready for the Burlington, Camp Hill and Disney SDV's.  I am well on the way to having my classes finished I have just 1 more to design for Burlington and 2 more for Disney (which really isn't that bad).

Anyhoo, this is a layout I created for Daisy D's using their Chasing Butterflies and Beacon Hill Collections.

  

I almost forgot has anyone gone over to the Daisy D's blog the Design Team is posting new projects and ideas every Wednesday.   Lots of ideas and inspiration.

Tata for now, I'm going over to my friend's Christine's house to help her paint and wallpaper her new craft room.  So cool.
