What We've Been Up To Around Here

This summer has been crazy busy but really really good.  We have been here:
 

Yes, we took our first kid free weekend trip (and yes, before you say anything, my kids are 4 and 5 1/2 - when you loose two family members to cancer and have littlee children and jobs and stuff you simply forget to make couple weekends a priority).  Thank GOD - and mean it, God, thank you, for Angelia and Dean and the free weekend of babysitting.  What a great trip to the Blair House Inn in Wimberley, TX.  And thanks to Diane and Caroll for the awesome "what the heck do we do in Wimberley" tips. 


We have also been to the Beach - for a whole glorious week!  I was wonderful and the first full week off I have had in over a year.  Thanks Mom for hooking us all up with a beach house.  I am working on the album from that week.  Just ordered the rest of the pictures and the ones to catch me up on Project - thank you very much!  Only a few (cough 10 cough) weeks behind!

He's Four

 Yes, I make my kids birthday cakes, not because I have to keep up anyone, but because 1.) They taste better 2.) I enjoy it and 3.) It reminds me of my mom's cakes when I was little and I still remember how cool it was to have a Holly Hobbie birthday cake made just for me.  Yep, you know the one, the shaped Wilton pan, an ingodly amount of star tip usage, yep, that one.  So here is my batman for my sweet four year old.  Made to order - with one slight change - he asked for pink sprinkles and I just could not do it, so we settled for blue. 

Nearly at $24M raised - Job took over for a while

Well, I am close, so close I can taste it. When you are a fundraiser, it is all about a goal or a dollar amount or a project - my current position is everything all wrapped up in one.  I am within $1 million of the dream, the goal, the reality of a new building.  So, somethimes work just takes over.  I didn't create this blog to apologize, so here I am.  I post when I can and work like there is no tomorrow. 

Now - back to scrapbooking.
