Croppy Cat

Yeah, I don't make up my own scrapbooking layouts for the most part, and I don't care who knows it.  I do everything digital and on my computer, and I am totally caught up and have about 15 albums (actual albums, I print out 12 x 12 pages).  I like the ease, the lack of mess, the low cost, and the great look of the pages.  I am not big on journaling, but I do try to get the facts and dates in!  Here's my latest two pages.


Amy's knee is slowly getting better.  She missed about two days of school and work.  The x-rays showed nothing broken, but possible stretched or torn ligaments -- could take a couple months to feel normal again.

Ally's been swimming daily to get ready for her lifeguard training the first weekend in May.

Chris's helicopter detail is most likely coming to an end, and he will go back to "the line."  That's good and bad.  He would love the detail if it was ran properly, but he's been dealing with issues (especially with proper equipment) for over two years now and has talked every now and then about going back to the line.   On the other hand, he loves flying, and it's a fairly cushy job.  We will have to wait and see what's next.  He could stay on the line, work other posts (travel), teach, or be on a squad... horses, ATV's, boats, etc.

He had a crown that turned into two crowns put on his teeth this week.  Still one more to be done, too.  He has temps on for now.

My work is pretty slow, but summer is our busiest time, so hopefully things will pick up soon.

He is Risen!

He is risen, indeed!

Had a great Easter.  Went to church.  Ally worked at the coffee cart and in the nursery.  I greeted and ushered.  Chris was a Roman soldier in the crucifixion mini-drama on Good Friday.  Here is my studly Roman soldier sipping a Starbucks:)


He had to wake up, go to the church, then on to work.  So I went to Starbucks and got him a coffee while they were rehearsing.  He ended up being so tired, he took the night off from work anyway, so we went out to eat after the Good Friday service.  Good times!

I made some goodies to give away at the ministry booths on Easter.  I made this basket, plus about six plates full of other goodies.


The Easter bunny came and brought Cadbury eggs and all kinds of yummy candy to my girls -- of course, I prefer my own (but I haven't mastered anything close to Cadbury eggs, yet!).  I found these two stuffed Peeps at the store about a month ago and got them for the girls, because I knew I woudn't find them later.


Amy fell down some carpeted stairs, and injured her knee.  It has three huge carpet burns on it and is swollen.  That was last week.  She is going to the doctor to have it looked at today.  She can't stand for very long, which is all she does at school and her two jobs right now!
