Very excited to have my layout on the cover of the May/June issue of Scrapbooks, Etc!!! It was fun scrapping that cute little auburn haired beauty! Thanks to Greta for sending me the picture of the mag!! I have not had it in my hands as of yet. I also a few other projects in this issue. I am very excited to see it.
So now that our house is sold I have been studying my decorating magazines so I will be prepared when I have to make all of the selections at the new house. Rich is handing over the reigns and I will be going next week to pick everything. I have to say that I love this stuff! Would have loved being an Interior Designer! Helping people spend their money!!! LOL!!! It will be nice to move and be closer to our families, although I will really miss this house and all of the memories! But I guess we can take the memories with us...and I will take a bunch of photos before we move.
Had a great morning! Ri likes to crawl in our bed and snuggle when he wakes up. I love it. He shares my pillow and we chat a little. His Dad usually comes in and gets his hugs in before he gets ready for work. I have to say that it is one of the best moments ever! Dev will crawl in for a bit too but that usually leads to wrestling and jumping on the bed which results in pain for the Momma that gets jumped on! But you know, I'll take it. We are lucky to have each other. This crazy, fun-loving family. I wish we could stay in bed and not have to face all the ugliness and sadness that is going on in the world around us. So today I am thankful for a good morning.
What an awesome way to start the day! I love when Malachi does that too - that early morning cuddle time is always great. Hope you have a wonderful rest of the day. Have fun with the designing ideas for your new place.

oh man, I am so with you on that- I want to keep the kids right by my side and not let them anywhere into the world without me. I have been struggling with the first letting go all year (my daughter's last year before Kinder). I know it's healthy for them to go- but yuck. As a mom, it's just yuck. How nice to have cuddly mornings together! My boy is my cuddler too- my girl shakes it up and turns the fun into crazy times too- isn't it silly how they dynamic changes in an instant? Hope you have millions of terrific new memories in your new home!
