This picture was taken yesterday, the 9th of May. We are so thankful that Aussie is now free to get on with his ife. We love and admire him so very much. We anticipate the best.

I got this Mother's Day present on Thursday, and I had time to make a layout yesterday on National Scrapbooking Day. I've had a wonderful day today, thanks to my children.

I've been spending even more time than usual at the computer the last few days...but now, I'm finally ready to publish another book. Tommorow is National Scrapbooking Day and I feel over it at this minute; but I know when I get up in the morning, I'll be ready to begin again. I already have a pretty good start on my next book.

The kids spotted Belle from Beauty and the Beast behind the stone wall.

I changed my mind. Is that still allowed these days? Well anyway I did and I changed the layout somewhat that I posted last night. I don't know about you, but I like it better now. It is now May and I've been working on this book since the end of December. Most of the layouts are from February. That month was a very good one for our son, John and his family...a trip to Florida's Clearwater Beach and then on to Disney World for 5 days. There were LOTS of pictures and I had a great time making layouts. I'm sorry it takes me so much longer to do than in the past. That's why I'm just finishing it today. I'm posting one of the most fun pages here now. It is of Julia.

It's great to see siblings appreciate each other. Being an only child, I always wished I had had a big brother like some of me friends did. So glad to see Julia and Caleb like this. Oliver is very good with her as well...and is also her big brother. She really is a lucky girl.
