The sun is out at last..

It seems like it has been raining for a month, well at least the whole of the school hols.  Sophie has been to the movies twice with my Mum and Dad, to the Newcastle Show a couple of weeks ago, to Tuggerah one day, to Lollypops, and several excursions to the major shopping centers for school hol activities.

Jacob is now 10 1/2 months and took his first steps last week.  He can now walk about 5-6 steps all up.  He is so happy about it!  He wants to walk all the time, and climbs up on Matt or I while we are doing things, and then we walk around really carefully with the little attachment.  He has also discovered he can stand and walk around and spin when holding onto the office chair!

Dad is good, and although we thought he was considering medical retirement, we thought wrong.  He is going back to school on Monday.  I don't think he made a wise choice here.

Here are some layouts - some I did a couple of weeks ago, some this week.  I have been on a bit of a roll and churning them out a lot faster than usual.

Here is Jacob at 10 months.

Here is one at 3 months - I pulled apart a layout that I didn't like and redid this one.

Matt and Jacob at Jacob's naming - he was 4mths old (Jacob that is - Matt turned 40 the day before).

   

I set a challenge to use old and new products on a layout - and these are some that I did - Daddy's Boy is using some old Heidi chipboard letters for 'boy', "ten months" is using some old Heidi plastic alpha.  I have done another one too, but have to get permission to show my friend's daughter on my blog first.  This one, "Us" I used more of my Scarlet Lime kit.  I am still using it and have done about 6 things with it so far.  I have two new ones that arrived and I have used a little bit, but they are very bright, and I know I am going to struggle with it.  Oh and the 3 months one is using the new MM Animal Crackers range.

STAY TUNED:  I have come up with a fundraising idea for Cystic Fibrosis as May is Red Roses month, and I have secured the assistance of some very talented scrapbookers to help me out.  Just putting together the details at the moment, and then I'll announce it.

Have a great weekend.

Oh Kell I can so identify with the constant rain. It rained here daily for 3 and a half months earlier this year. It was nice to see blue skies, and big white puffy clouds rather than an overcast sky. Your layouts are gorgeous - I really love your style at the moment.
