Can't Sleep Ramblings

B's not home yet and the roads are kind of crappy.....so here I am trying to pass the time by not sleeping. I went through my e-mail and found one I hadn't opened from a mom going through the exact same situation(parts debacle) we went through. I told her I would send her "before" and "after" pictures of Squirt awhile ago. I got around to it tonight. I had no idea when I decided to take those particular photos, so I had to go through all my folders between Oct 06- Mar 07. I forgot how little he was. I found the photos and to my surprise they didn't scare me. I found myself turning my nose up at the umbilical hernia pictures and hospital pictures more than the parts. Really looking at the pictures made me feel old. :)
Anyhoo, I hope my pictures help her to understand that not only is she and her sweet boy not alone, but things do get better.
Blast from the past!

This was his umbilical hernia. They said it didn't hurt but it sure looked like it hurt.

Pretty babies

Just a few of the hundreds (no joke) I've been messing around with.
Maybe one of these days I will actually have a scrap book printed :)

Not a baby......just MY baby.

Little Carter.....I want to kiss his face off!

In case you are interested.......

The City of Westminster is having a lighting ceremony of their Christmas display at City Hall (4800 W. 92nd Avenue) Saturday night from 5:30-7:30. It will be another excuse for me to get a peppermint hot chocolate. If you can't make it that night, I really would recommend seeing at some point during the season. It's cute and the kiddos like walking through the little village!
If you go Saturday and are able to give, the Westy Fire Dept is doing their annual charity drive. They are asking for new or gently used toys and clothing, and nonperishable food items. :)
It's going to be a holly jolly Christmas!

Stuffed!

Happy Thanksgiving! What a wonderful day. We had loads of food, laughs and love. I hope today was the same for you.

So much to be thankful for, so very much!

No good

For those of you that don't know, the NFL runs our weekend. It was a bad, bad week. Got my butt kicked in fantasy and didn't do so hot on my picks(11). We had been doing so good and it came crashing down. And our beloved Broncos?! 31-10 playing the Raiders?! Hor$e$h%t! Better luck next week.
I found a cute photo courtesy of TeraDo of Squirt looking tough in his jersey. He had a black eye at the time...too cute!

TeraDo also had a couple of disturbing pictures as well. I thought I would share. Really I thought Ken would be amused by them! Enjoy KB.

OK this one is funny. Little Aiden was confused by the utters on her Aunts costume. Ha!

What can I say......it's just us being, well, us.

Messing Around

I should be hanging out with B right now but I'm messing around with pictures :)
Here are some of my quick creations. Papers used were from Designer Digitals, Dana Zarling from the Average Joe and A Grungy Little Christmas paper packs. I also used frames from someone off there too?

Fondue!

We had a great weekend. We packed so much in, we didn't get the stuff we needed to around our house. One of the highlights was having dinner with Matt and Jeanne at the Melting Pot. I was there years ago and didn't think that much of it. I have a whole new take! I'll skip right to the best part.....dessert. We had a Yin and Yang. Mix of white and dark chocolate and loads of goodies to dip into it!

I messed around with camera a little too. Aren't they all so pretty (not so much the pics but the people!)
