"Irish" I weren't so far behind on scrapping!

Since I've been busy getting into digital design, I haven't had much time left over to do the actual scrapbooking that led me to this in the first place!  In fact, I still have a lot of 2010 to finish up and a very exciting 2011 to get started on.  Rather than jump into the big ones, I found a few little pictures that I wanted to start with from St. Patty's Day.  It was AJ's first time celebrating St. Patty's Day.  Not that we had big plans. :)

But he had recived a few little Irish outfits and bibs so he at least got to look the part.  Matt donned his "Irish I were a Badger shirt" and so that's pretty much what we did.  No green beer.  No all day at the bars.  No parade.  Just a fun time at home, well, before and after the work day anyhow.  I was excited to make this page using my very own Spring Color Series Collection which I have made available on lulu.com - see the link on the right of the page.

Our little sleep problem...

I love a good night's sleep.  Well, who doesn't really?  But we seem to be having this little problem in our house.  This "problem" awakes us anywhere from 3am to 4am.  There's a shaking, a scratching, whining, and sometimes crying.  Well, we are new parents, but no, it's not the baby.  He's sleeping great!!  The "problem" is this little guy:

Well, maybe not so little guy.  Finn has always loved to get up early, but this is crazy.  And we are desparate to ensure the baby keeps sleeping so Matt faithfully gets out of bed and let's the little critter into ours.  Yup, into our bed.  A 70lb dog at our feet.  It's not so great! 

Now before all those dog owners cringe at our giving into this little guy, we've seriously tried everything.  He was given a great bed to sleep on just a few feet from us, but well, he ate it.  After he humped it. (Yes, he's neutered!)  Oh well, as he leaves his puppyhood behind he is starting to calm a bit.  We've done some research and a new, chew-proof bed is on it's way.  Oh new doggie bed, hurry home!

My First Mother's Day!

I've been having issues with blogger so this post has been delayed, but I still wanted to share what a wonderful time I had last weekend celebrating my very first mother's day with my husband and sweet, little boy.  We haven't had much sun around these parts lately so it was so wonderful to wake up to the sun shining through.  My husband made some wondeful strawberry muffins for breakfast and we all were able to relax before heading to church.  Did I mention yet just how wonderful it was? :)

After church, I decided that lunch would best be served in the form of ice cream.  Yup, it was my day.  After a beautiful walk, some wonderful gifts - especially the gift of family time - and a great dinner my day was coming to an end.  It was so great to be included on such a special day.  I'm so fortunate to stay home and care for our son day in and day out.  He truly is a joy to our world!

Although not pictures from the actual day - those are still on the camera - I was inspired to make this page with a new kit I created, actually a series of kits, that I will be sharing with you all so very soon.  Enjoy and hope everyone else had a great day too!

Ah, that's better!

Well, it's about time.  I've finally, finally been able to spend some quality time updating the look of my blog.  And, oh boy, it is just so much more like me!  Sure, I still have a few tweeks to make here and there but hopefully everyone will find that it's a bit easier to read at this point.  I'm sure things will continue to develop so stay tuned.  Now, back to designing so I can have some fun things to post!
