So excited!

Kirk and Jess (my brother-in-law and sister-in-law) are expecting a beautiful baby girl!! And I'm going to be an aunt - I'm BEYOND excited!! I can't wait for this precious new baby to be born. To celebrate their new arrival, I've been working on some baby shower invitations. Here's what I have so far:

I'm working on some more - what can I say, I'm addicted to photoshop (it's my "me" time!). They're pretty cute, if I do say so myself!

Birthday invites that I made!

So, before I get off of this thing, I wanted to brag a little...I made the girls' birthday invitations yesterday. I have to admit, they're stinkin' cute!

Worst blogger ever...

So, apparently I'm the worst blogger ever. :-) I haven't added an entry since May of 09. LOL!!! I've had an excuse though - and their names are Hailey and Heidi! Since Heidi was born last October, things have been a little crazy. I was totally unprepared for just how much harder it would be adding another kid to the mix - silly me! It is getting a little easier as time goes on, though. I'm really reconsidering that "I'm going to have 3 kids" thing. I'm not sure I could handle another. We'll see as time goes on. It's not totally out of the question, but there aren't any definite plans of adding on to our family ANY time soon.

Rather than going back and recounting all that's happened this past year, I'll just jump right in and give a rundown of the current state of things. Hailey is enjoying preschool and loves her teacher. I wasn't too shocked, though, to learn that she had to sit in time out last week. True to Hailey-nature, she got in trouble for making silly noises as she cavorted about in the middle of the hallway during bathroom break. I have to admit, I love her spirit. I wish that I had the carefree, happy-go-lucky-ness she has. I'm jealous. ;-) We're working on the whole "there's a time and a place for everything" thing, though.

Heidi is more serious that Hailey is - meaning, she only smiles when SHE gets ready to smile. However, she has the most PRECIOUS laugh. If I could bottle it, I'd call it sheer joy. The very best part is that she absolutely adores her big sister. She gets the biggest grin on her face when Hailey walks in the room and she tries to follow her everywhere she goes. I only pray that bond grows even stronger as they grow up. I know some people tout the whole "only child" thing as the way to go, but I can't imagine my children not having each other. Now I only hope they don't team up against me in the future...I can only imagine the power of two teenage girls on a mission. YIKES!!!

Barry is doing great at his job, although it stresses him out a little. His schedule kinda sucks a little because we're constantly having to wave goodbye to each other, but he gets the chance to watch the girls 3 days a week while I work. I've seen in just the few weeks that we've been in this routine how the girls have grown closer to their Daddy. I have to admit, sometimes he does a better job parenting than I do. He has more patience with the little things and takes more in stride than I do. Yeah, he drives me nuts sometimes, but I'm pretty blessed to have him. :-)

Well, speaking of my crazy life, Heidi is sitting here banging on the back of the laptop, which is the signal for me to put it down. Til next time...
