And Poppa turns 70!

This summer my dad turned 70. Wow, how did that happen? Oh, yes, I am getting older too! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make the family party, I was teaching summer school; but as soon as I was done we headed home for our own little party. The kids were quite excited to celebrate with Poppa! And since Dad loves John Deere, it was the perfect paper!

Ahoy there Matey!

Again, some more LO's from Mexico, this time aboard the Pirate Ship. This was our second last day in Mexico, and we were at the pier early. I think it was the earliest day we got up! We had breakfast on the ship, and then set sail across the bay to a little inlet. On the way there we were treated to a "show" by the pirates, which included a pirate walking the plank....Jean-Luc was so worried he wouldn't make it...(a small boat picked him up!) The pirates were also our waiters on the boat, and they were hilarious and very courteous! Jean-Luc bought his new pirate scarf and was proud as punch to know there was "good" pirates!

Sadly late...

I have been slowly working on our pages from our trip to Mexico in March of 2007. How come I can't seem to get at them????? Anyway, I have gotten a few done, and thought I would share one. This one is of my son on the beach. We had gone for a long walk just to "do" something. As much as I love reading sitting all day was getting to me, and him..so off we went. He's such a happy guy and a kind and gentle soul. I often think he'll be the perfect husband for some lucky girl. (and yes, he's only 9), but sometimes I think you just know! He's that kind of kid, and I'm so very lucky to have him for a son. God blessed me on that day almost 10 years ago!

Yikes, where has all the time gone???

Who would have thought November would be so busy. It's been unbelievably, but mostly all in a good way! I haven't had a chance to do much scrappin' but did manage to get in a Stampin' Up card making class for Christmas cards. Which you can see above. They turned out well, and I am hoping to duplicate some soon!

This weekend, I'll start decorating, which really gets me into the holiday season. DH prefers that I wait until Dec. 1st, but I think I might be able to get some things up under the radar!!!
