Where did June go? It’s crazy!

Some updates on the family: Charles starts college next Wednesday. Troy is becoming more verbal every day & now when he talks you can understand 90% of what he says. Some times he talks too fast (like his mommy) and then you can’t understand him.  We taught him his name yesterday & its so cute when he says it.  He thinks he is 3 and will be 4 in December.. Yeah nice try on giving yourself a extra year. Rachel is doing great. It rained a little yesterday when we went to Wal-Mart and she didn’t scream bloody murder when the rain hit her. She whined a little bit but that’s it. She’s now able to climb onto the couch and our bed. She likes to hold onto the side of her crib & jump up & down on her mattress. Crazy fearless girl! Pumpkin is doing great. I feel them move a LOT every day so that’s a good sign! I hardly ever felt Rachel move.

Last night at dinner I went around the table and asked Troy what everyone’s name was. He got his name, Rachel’s & daddy’s right. But when I asked him who I was he said ” A bear”. Nice right? So I just had to scrapbook that.

So I sat down and went to town. I am very pleased with the out come of the layout. It captures their fun & playful relationship perfectly.  I then made the layout into a template. lol. So here is my layout followed by the template & the link.

And a few of my favorite pictures of the kids playing in their pool.

]]> http://www.21hearts.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=290 0 Two takes on one template http://www.21hearts.com/blog/?p=273 http://www.21hearts.com/blog/?p=273#comments Sat, 08 May 2010 17:56:37 +0000 Melissa http://www.21hearts.com/blog/?p=273 So I download all of these digital scrapbooking templates and I end up only using them once and then I never touch them again. So I challenged myself to use a template twice.  I did so and I’m pretty pleased! I made a layout for Troy and one for Rachel.

Kits used: Be You By Traci Reed (Rachel’s layout) and Look At Me by Misty Cato (Troy’s layout). The links to their blogs are in my sidebar.

]]> http://www.21hearts.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=273 0 Inspired! http://www.21hearts.com/blog/?p=266 http://www.21hearts.com/blog/?p=266#comments Wed, 05 May 2010 00:05:02 +0000 Melissa http://www.21hearts.com/blog/?p=266 I took this picture on the 2nd and had to scrap it right away while it was still fresh in my mind. The kids were just being adorable.

So the rest of what I have to say will be in the password post. Ask me for it.
