I can't tell you how many time I've been out with the kiddos and had people tell me that I've got my hands full.

They are absolutely right.

I've got my hands full of joy and happiness and blessings. Sometimes poop and boogers too, but all in all- I live a pretty awesome life, because of these sweet little faces.

was one of the best things ever conceived of for moms. :)

The kidlets are officially signed up and went for their first day of "school" yesterday. Oh man, it was so nice to not be called "Mommy!" for 6 hours! And bonus- I got to spend a good portion of time yesterday playing with scrappy stuff. Good times, good times.

In other news...

we recently changed churches.

Dude, this was a hard, hard, hard, difficult decision. It had nothing to do with the church we were going to... we absolutely love that church (and still plan to go visit as frequently as possible). It was more to do with the fact that we really felt like God was leading us somewhere different.

Now, people use that Christian jargon all the time... to the point that it feels like it's almost an excuse to cover up what you're really thinking sometimes. In this case, though, it is 100% truth. We had to make a choice between two really good things for our family, and to see where God would take us in the next few years as far as ministry and being a part of our community was concerned.

So anyways, it's been on my mind (obviously) a lot lately.... just a big change in our life. A good change.

Here are some pics from going to Community Group last Sunday night...










Seriously, what in the heck?!



Atticus decided to literally pour Root Beer all over himself. I turned around to see him holding over his shirt and then looking at me and saying "Uh Oh."

We had to use an extra shirt that Em had in her bag.

Yeah, my kids are pretty much going to hate me for some of these pics when they're older.

Hehehe

The world is changed forever when this charming little dude arrived.







Happy Birthday to my (second) favorite Tillery man.

I just realized I never posted my layouts from 12 Fridays... I sent the pics off to Heather & Heidi the day before I left for the Event, and that erased all further thought from my head. ;)



I'm working on my Project Friday stuff tonight... woohoo. I can't wait to share with you all!

Here's the lovely Crop Addict May Kit and Manufacturer Kit (Crate Paper). I can't believe I was able to scrap this much this month!

You might notice some fun little doodles on the pages... I have been so excited this month to be able to draw some exclusive little doodles for the Crop Addict May kit! I'm no artist, but they are fun to make. It's been really cool seeing them show up on the other designer's pages. What a thrill! Be watching for more in future kits! ;)

(No, you're not seeing things- that's my friend Morgan's little boy. We did a photo swap this month!)




Crate Paper was enormously generous to us this month. Thank you, Crate Paper, for allowing us to create with your gorgeous new products! I have always loved the texture of the CP papers, and their new chipboard letters & buttons add an extra dimension that I just love.
