where have I been lately?

I know that it's been a while since I've blogged.

Life has kind of taken over lately, unfortunately.

I told you about Sarah's cut toe and about Aimee's asthma flare-up that kept us up two nights in a row. I think I even told you about Hailey throwing up and being out of school for two days. Then Sarah decided she wanted to join the sicky-party and she started throwing up. Fun times.

They say that kids don't get sick as much when they're a bit older and I sure hope that's true.

It has seemed like one thing after another lately.

And I have a new job at church that has been keeping me busy, and a house that needs some tender loving care. I am thankful for a husband who doesn't mind doing laundry and who has been a busy beaver on his time off.

This pregnancy has been a hard one; we can't wait for the baby to get here- only about 2 1/2 more months!

Things have been crazy and while I have had this layout done for about a week I hadn't been able to post it until now, so here's some new scrappy inspiration for you.

I have been trying to work on some design team call submissions- I hope to get my Jillibean Soup one done because I would love to be on the team for a second term but My Little Shoebox might have to wait another year because there just hasn't been much time to scrap lately. sigh. Oh well.

Yes, I am up at 4 in the morning, mainly because I crashed before 8 last night because I was so tired. I figured I'd better take advantage of the time because once the kids are up and at 'em.

I used some Echo Park for this page mixed in with some American Crafts:

That little felt sun and the yellow trim are American Crafts, the pearls are from the Prima E-line

I hope you all have a great Monday!
