New Pages

Well, now that we have a new baby I have to get started again doing pages for Brooke and for myself for our scrapbook frames. Here are the first two, one for Brooke (which will go in Bennett's album when I send her another one next month) and the second one is for us. We are going to visit this weekend so James can see Bennett. I will bring it up when we come Brooke. Adam says Bennett is so laid back we might even go to the spring Garnet & Gold football game if the weather permits.

 Frances, begged & begged for a new page so after she finally uploaded pictures to Walgreens, I made her a page. I forgot to take a picture of it so she will have to take one when it arrives and send it to me. I was teasing her that I wouldn't post it until she received it but I guess the joke is on me since I forgot to take the picture. I also forgot to take a picture of her birthday card. Maybe, if I am good, she will send a picture of that too. :)

We went out to lunch today with Dale, Darla, and the twins. James had not seen them in a long time. They have really grown. We had a marvelous time. The girls are so cute and well-behaved they are a pleasure to be around. They have been raised like my Aunt Mickey always said. "Raise children so we can enjoy them, not tolerate them."
Lily is the one with the curls. She is a real girly girl-loves pocket books, jewelry etc. Emma is the quieter one I think.

What a darling family.
I went back to the little baby boutique, Little Peeps, on Dale Mabry yesterday across from Plant High. I had gotten Bennett a swaddle blanket there for the shower and vowed to go back. They have the most beautiful frames, I just had to go back and get one. I will have to get a really good picture of Bennett this next weekend to go in this frame.

 There is another one I want that I will get next time I go that way. It is made out of rough wood and is covered with smashed bottle caps. It will be perfect for Jack Thomas.
Two more weeks until Spring Break-Yeah!!!

March Activities

Card class in February was great. Lynn, Ruth Ann, Sally and I were joined by Evillee (our reading coach)  and her mom, Cookie, so now there are 6 of us. We made two birthday cards-one I sent to Sasha for her birthday which is tomorrow. I can't believe she is 8 years old.

I also made my St. Patrick's day cards and got them in the mail.

I had to get my Easter cards done too, because I didn't want to wait until the last minute with Brooke due April 7. I made several different ones but haven't put them in the mail yet.

These two were made with shrinky dink.  All I had to do was print the picture out on this special shrinky dink paper, cut them out, and then heat them with a heat gun and watch them shrink.

This one was a stamp that I colored.
Well it was a good thing I got ahead of the game because Bennett William Spicer decided to make his debut a few days early. He was born on Monday, March 28. Adam called me at school and I left to go home, pack and drive to Tallahassee so I could take care of Jack while they were in the hospital. I got there around 8 pm. Their friend, Jill, was babysitting him and already had him in bed, so what a surprise he got in the morning when Grandma was there to take care of him. He was an absolute angel. He didn't even take a nap on Tuesday and you would never have known it. We went to the hospital to meet Bennett Tuesday. Jack didn't seem to impressed with the baby. On Wednesday, after story time at the library, we went to visit again. Later that day they got to come home and when Jack woke up from his 4 hour nap, mommy and daddy and baby were there.

Bennett William Spicer-8 lbs. 8 oz. 19.9" long.

Look at all the dark hair.

My adorable, good boy, Jack Thomas. Adam says Jack is getting used to Bennett and Bennett is getting used to all the noise Jack and Chelsea make. He is sleeping 4 1/2 hours at night, so they are getting some sleep. He is an excellent eater too. I can't wait to go to Tallahassee again. I will be there during Spring Break to help Brooke and hopefully I will get to take Jack to music class and library time.

I went to Violette's yesterday and took a class from Florence. She is so talented and creative. We made an Easter book. I think I will save it until next year when both boys will be able to hunt eggs. I should have some good pictures of them.
This is the front of the book. It is held together by a small magnet.

 These are pictures of some of the inside pages.

We also made this neat little container for candy, etc.

I just love it and it is easy to make.
I made a birthday card today for Frances, but will post it next month after her birthday. Too bad, Frances, you will have to wait to see it. I would do that page you want me to do for your frame if you would send pictures-hint hint.
