I had the pleasure today of a quiet house. Evan went to school until 3:30. Mark took Ashlyn and Drew to the Family Center at his work for the whole day. So, I was alone from 8:10 until 3:30, something I can’t remember ever happening in the last 6 years! I got a good bit of work done and even took a little nap. The weather was beautiful to boot. When Evan got home, I took him to our local ice cream parlor for a treat before everyone else got home. I’m already thinking about scheduling my next Mama’s Day Off. I love my kiddos. But, it was so nice to have quiet for a while. And, Drew and Ash had a ball at the Family Center.

I’ve been playing around with FotoFusion the last couple weeks, trying to figure it out and decide if I want to enter the world of digital scrapbooking. I LOVE scrapbooking and really think it’s important to do for the kids’ sakes. But, I have done very little since Drew was born. And, well, he just turned 2. I am ashamed that I haven’t done a baby album for him yet! I finished each child’s baby album before the next child came. And, with Lydia’s arrival being far from now, I have been a slacker with Drew’s album. But, I think I have found a new motivator to get me going with this program. So, hopefully, I will do it! Here is the first page I have created. Not too bad for my first shot.
