Scrapbooking

I haven't been able to scrapbook for a couple weeks because I've been busy with trips to Pittsburgh and putting together a big Relief Society activity that is on Saturday (more on that after Saturday). Finally I had some time yesterday because my plans were canceled.

So without further adieu, here are Luke's 7 months pages:

Scrapbook Pages

My computer was wigging out for a couple days (something blew up on in the video card and the screen was all wonky). It really throws me off blogging-wise when I get off track. It takes a good effort to write something again after days of not writing.

Therefore...you get scrapbook pages. Which I also had to put off finishing because of the computer wigging out.

Busted.

Luke's fascination with drawing was bound to end up here eventually.

so busted.

Easter Pictures

--For the Grandparents Mostly--

Luke really had no idea what Easter was. We didn't do any fun Egg hunts or the like because of the blasted snow. But I did put together some Easter baskets. (the stuff in my own basket was all from my mom, thanks mom!) The eggs were filled with chocolate teddy grahams and fruit snacks. Luke was more than happy to devour them all once he figured out how to open them.

I put him up on the table so he couldn't run away. He took each egg out--shook it--and held it in his arms while he picked up the next egg--shook it--and so on until he had all of his eggs in his arms! Our video camera was dead, unfortunately, so here's the still action shots ;)

Finally a smile!

My mom sent him a present, he didn't really feel like opening it so I tore it open little by little

smiling because he can see it is something fuzzy which always makes him happyAfter this shot i opened it all the way and turned it around for him to see--he nearly fell off the table because it scared him! I guess he wasn't expecting a giraffe?? It was quite funny. He loves it now, though--thanks Grandma!


These pictures might as well have been taken in December or January--but alas, this was Easter morning. The snow all melted by the afternoon, but it's still frigid cold here. But this is it I am packing up the snow gear and the blasted snow better go away!!


I made a really good dinner and we invited Scott's siblings over--Darcy & Derek--to join us after the last session of General Conference. It turned out to be a pretty good Easter.

Scrapbooking

We sure did take a lot of pictures of this kid. I'm finding I have to weed out a lot just because his scrapbook would be way too long (and pricey!) I can't wait until it's all finished though! I love digi-scrapping.


Pages up to month 5:



This one should technically be fore up to 6 months--but it's the only one I got for that set so far:
