We're having a great time with my parents here. The kids are having fun getting to know their grandparents more and I am loving having my parents see us in our home, see how we operate, etc. When we get together with the whole family (my brother and sisters and their families) my parents just don't really get to see my kids for who they are. It is important to me that my parents see how we act as a family...to see our strengths, our weaknesses, and the paths we are choosing to take as a family. If they know us more, they will understand why we do what we do. That is very important to me. So this weeks is a real blessing.
The disadvantage, however, is that everything else in my life is on hold and I am starting to feel a teensy bit stressed. I haven't scrapped in days which stresses me out (not because I *have* to scrap, it's just that scrapping is my number one stress relief), I haven't worked, I am behind on emails, and if the digi world had blown up yesterday I doubt I would know! LOL! It's all good though. Family time is definitely more important, I just know though that I will have a lot of catch up to do later. But for today, I just want to enjoy the last day with them here. We have no plans yet, but hopefully we'll find something to do. I am going out to breakfast with my dad (a little tradition of ours) and tonight I am making beef and shrimp fondue. Alaina has school this morning (her 2nd to last day!) so maybe we'll find something fun to do with the boys.
In any case, no pictures for you. No LO's. Oh, well, wait. I bet I can find a LO I haven't posted. Hmmm, hold on a sec, will ya?
I did this one back in December, or maybe January. Can't remember. My man. Love him. I think everything here is by Michelle Coleman, except the swirl which is by Tracy Ann Robinson, but overlaid with Michelle's papers.
Okay, sorry for the short post. But life calls. Hope you have a super day! Aren't you just LOVING spring?
I am so glad you are having a good time with the family!!! That is so important and you will be able to catch up quicker than you realize! Your hubby is so good to you he will probably let you have a day to play catch up!!! Have a great day!
