There is something very hopeful about Mondays for me too. The chance to catch up with so many days ahead. love it!
It seems like May starts off birthday season around here. And other occasions too.
Last week we had a birthday at the zoo then a bbq at my brother's house. This weekend we had another birthday and a bbq. Such fun. We still have a birthday this Friday, a confirmation on Saturday and a tag sale on Sunday. June is filled with Brenna's birthday, Matthew's baptism and Brooke's first birthday. By July, I'll need a break!
My youngest brother is leaving for Iraq soon and we are trying to squeeze time in with him as often as possible. It is totally freaking me out, but I KNOW he will be back. I know it. It still sucks and I don't like it, but I wouldn't dare tell him that. We were thinking of doing a family blog so he can see pics of the girls and videos of all of us. I think not being able to say, Come over for dinner, or just shooting the shit on the phone with him at any given time is tough for me too. He mentioned that he has to wear a bullet proof vest like 24/7 over there kind of brought it back to how serious the situation is over there really is. I made this layout for his scrapbook:
Well, time to get moving here. I can't sit around on the computer when there is complete silence here. Things are begging to be done!
I'm doing a huge giveaway this week, filled with lots of stuff from my Studio Calico kits and other scrapbook goodies. Check back, I'm thinking Wednesday will be the day!
Have a great day!

i love your idea of doing the family blog so your brother can see what you're up to while he's gone. and what a lovely layout!
what a touching layout, my thanks to him and hope he makes it home safely.
I'm very inspired
First, thank you to your brother for serving our Country. My family is military and it's scary when they have to fulfill their obligation by going on tour. I will say many prayers for your brother's safe return. I'm sure he would love a family blog for him to feel in touch still. And your layout is awesome. I love the heartfelt journaling.
