BG Top Designer Class #1 - layering!

LAYERING PERSPECTIVES by Miss Cari Fennell and it was so much fun. I had sort of gotten away from layers and it was fun to get back into. I love the lo - featuring my great great grandmother and uncle Frankie and you know I adore heritage. Creative cafe die cut paper just rocks and K&Co, foofala, MME and then primas. I just love primas. The wood flourishes are by Kaiser - picked those babies up in San Diego. wooo hooo!!!! Took the green line to Old City and hiked. bwahahaha. It is a great store. But I digress.....check out Bad Girls and join the fun!!!

Flew home between storm actions.....

and it's so good to be home - but so hard to leave the g-baby. Tell me he's not the cutest baby-EVER!!! lol!!!! He does look like my handsome son. Since the ConMAN (smirk gotta have a nick name right?) liked being swaddled the only available kissin spot was his adorable nose. So I kissed it. ALOT.

Baby #2's mama is scheduled to go in late tonight to be induced. ACK!!! So hopefully, I'll have more photos to post. (I can feel your excitment - kinda like home movies bwahahaha)! It's just a bummer we can't be there to hold baby Duffy and smooch noses as well. It has just been so darn exciting around here. I'll have LOTS of STUFF for PAGES NOW. bwahahahaha!

Please welcome Connor Logan

and boy is he pretty. He didn't like being unswaddled and he let you know it. Funny, both my kids wanted out of those blankets. Not Connor. We counted fingers and toes. All there. Tried to get him to open his eyes. Stubbornly kept them shut. hmmm...where did he get that from? snort. Tomorrow is another day. bwahahaha. Not only that being obnoxious with the camera. smirk. Speaking of which I gave my little camera to my SON. Need to get that bad boy back. So now we are waiting on Liz, the loose cannon. LOL!!!! Told her to keep her legs shaved just in case. We women worry about things like that. Tom's words of wisdom - PUSH! snort.

Fashionable beach wear.............

my fav BIL sporting the latest in beach wear at the Jersey Shore. An umbrella, hat, chair and the MUST have of the season - a boobie board. The weather remains great and the waves are rockin and rollin. A good time is being had by all. Yesterday was our big Labor Day FEAST and it was yummy. We had enough food to feed an army and it was totally de-lish. WW was hanging tough. snort. Most of the family was here, though we missed Kevin and Liz but being close to her due date she didn't wanna roam too far from home. Babies still in a holding pattern.

Greetings from the Jersey Shore......

The waves rocked and the kidlets rolled - and rode the waves into the shore. It was a beautiful day, the sun, the sand, the surf. It was fun to watch the kids catch a wave and ride it. I have tons of pix and lots of scrapbooking material so far. The babies are in a holding pattern in the womb. Waiting for mother nature to take its course, which *sigh*, takes her own sweet time.

Streets of Philadelphia

oooooooooooo another steal from Springsteen. Because I'm a scrapper the song titles should come in threes and honestly I had one in mind, but I didn't capture it quick enough, so I'll have to fake it. Cosmo Cricket rises again and totally rocks. I love the collage feature in my Microsoft Digital Imaging software and it just brings all my favorite pix of Philadelphia onto one page. Of course you would believe that while watching the Travel Channel AFTER I came HOME from Phillie of the haunted places. Independence Hall and Betsy Ross's place were two that I did visit and sadly, no ghosts. Of course I reviewed all photos to make sure nothing whiggy were on them. Sadly there wasn't. Bummer. On a totally UNsad note, I lost another .4 lbs for a grand total of 19 POUNDS. woo flippin hooo!!!! Who rocks the weight loss. *doin the happy dance* grinning. snort.

This Train........

I have tried for 30 minutes to get this to load correctly. Other lo's have loaded correctly but not this one. GRRRRRR!!!!! SO you need to tilt your head sideways so consider it part of its charm. snort. Anyway you can't go wrong w/Cosmo Cricket (all CC) and out of Fay came some mojo, and if you missed my other Fay post - Shane being sweet. Who knew, I said dryly. This shows that I did indeed get through Penn Station, board a train and ride for over five hours because lightening strikes and train signals don't play well together. Go figure. It was a comfy ride and I got a book read and some cool pix and met some really neat people.
