I was so ecstatic Saturday evening at 9:50 pm, I had met both my goals for the Crop that day - to finish 2007 for both children AND to scrap 20 layouts - with 10 minutes to spare!!!
I had arrived at 10:20 am that morning, and got all my stuff set up, across from my good friend Anita, and away I went. As I had mentioned, I wanted to finish 2007 for both kids - of course I have many, many layouts of '08 and '09 for their albums but finishing '07 was important to me. I had spent a block of craft time several weeks ago organizing the pictures for each child for the layouts. I finished Asher's '07 late afternoon, and had 13 layouts done (a couple of those were actually Allie's I had started with). I was pumped to have completed that goal. So I decided to count how many more layouts I had left to do for Allie to be done with '07, and it was exactly 7....which would mean I could finish 2007 for both kids AND get exactly 20 layouts done! How cool was that?? Maybe no one else thinks that's as cool as I do, but that's OK! lol
So, without further ado, here they are! :)
Allie's first visit to Illinois to see Great-Grammy.
2 pics on right are Great-Grammy and Papa holding her for the very FIRST time. :)
Allie's first teeth (the bottom two), hard to see with all the mush!
Lots of journaling about milestones, etc for September 2007.
She was a ladybug for about, oh 10 minutes!
Playing Peek-a-boo!
First visit back to AR, meeting Grandpa and Uncles and Cousins and Friends!
First visit to see Mimi and Papa! Only decent pic I took, lol, but I loved it.
November 2007, after a bath, she was hamming it up!
Now for Asher's! All these layouts are from our MS/AR visit in Oct 2007.
At the pumpkin patch with the Larsen's!
Playing Pirate's Cove mini-golf, first time golfing!
Annual tradition, BACKYARD CAMPING at Grandpa's!
His little cousin Jadyn was infatuated with him, so darling!
Lots of art projects Ginger and I did to keep the boys occupied in the hotel while the little ones napped!
Traditional Promenade walk, plus a little extra to top of the mountain!
Getting some Papa love and carved his first pumpkin with Mimi.
