back at it

I haven't scrapbooked in months. But I had a chance to get back into it this weekend, while Kenton played games with a friend. It's so nice to get some pictures together & pages done. Here are my 6 pages. The lighting was pretty bad, so they look more yellow than they should, but you get the idea.


Page 1 journaling says: We did our best to be supportive of Carolyn & Jesse's decision to join the Peace Corps. We knew how much we'd miss them & didn't really want to say goodbye. We spent the whole day together - lunch @ Sweet Basil, swimming @ their old pool, games at our house. We were sad but excited for their adventures in Azerbaijan!

Page 2 journaling: enjoying Carolyn & Jesse's (former) pool :)



Page 3 Journaling: At the end of April, Finn's Great-Grandparents came for a nice, long visit! They stayed with Kevin & Outi (they even took a trip to Utah to visit Sharon). Marylee & Lew are hoping to move to Eugene to be closer to Finn...and everyone else too. :) We're so blessed to have family coming to us! The Gulicks were here until Mother's Day. It was really nice!

Marylee & Lew were able to move here after all & it really has been great having them so close!

Page 4 journaling: We enjoy bath time. Naked time is super fun too! Nothing cute than a naked baby! But Finn all dressed up in his church clothes is pretty hard to beat. Such a handsome boy.



Photos we took when Finn was 6 months old. He's almost 15 months old now!

I'm amazed at your page-making abilities! They look great. We look through the book you sent us with those pictures at least once a week. And Carolyn has those pictures of Finn as a bookmark so we're always seeing those. That kid is so funny! I can tell by the look in his eye in the picture of him naked what he's thinking. It goes something like this: "Oh great, thanks mom! Now I'll have to hide this from all my future girlfriends!" heheheh...

We miss you guys too!

It's true, we have pictures of you guys all over our place! I miss scrapbooking like crazy! I especially miss scrapbooking with you while our guys play games... followed by a meal of Bagel Bites, corn dogs, tater tots and chicken nuggets... those were the days!
