Nolan and I went on a 10-hour date yesterday. 10 hours!! It started at P*anera at noon, where we sat down and worked on our 2009 family goals together, then he and I both spent some time on our laptops - me trying to get caught up on digital scrapbooking, but I really wasn't feeling very inspired. For some reason, my creative juices were just not flowing. I can't believe how long since it's been since I've done any scrapbooking and I really need to make the time to get back into it again. After, we went to dinner and a movie. We saw "Br*ide Wars". We both thought it was good, but not great. Has anyone seen S*lumdog Millionaire? I am now wishing we would have seen that one instead.
Before church this morning, I took pictures of Mia wearing a dress that one of my mom's very dear friends purchased for Leila. I love this dress and little beret and have been saving it for Mia to wear. Both girls were in the mood for a photo shoot this morning and would have kept going for a long time. If I hadn't been in such a rush to get to church, I would have been able to capture some more really good ones with my very willing subjects.
This afternoon is a lazy Sunday afternoon. After the girls wake up from naps, it is game afternoon... W*ii, shooting some pool, playing charades, etc. We have been enjoying lots of game nights and afternoons lately and we are just loving it! We are getting lots of good out of Santa's presents. (And yes, Leila is still beating me at tennis!!) :)

I love how you framed these photos out, you can really tell how they would look on the wall, and I think the third one definitely deserves to be printed BIG and framed. They're all gorgeous, but I love the sister shot. How nice that you had willing subjects! :-)
I love the frames around your pictures! What a finishing touch to some fabulous images :D
We did family game last night and had the best time :D
Ladybug hugs,

There are so many times I TRY to scrapbook and nothing will happen.
Very frustrating.
Glad you had a nice weekend:)
Hey, I have been so blessed just reading your blog.. I found it though Greg Silva, and your digital scrapbook is amazing.. veeery girly =))
We are a young international couple and would like to adopt our first child too... Probably not soon, but God has set it on our hearts. That's why your blog has been a huge encouragement. Thank you!
