here comes the bride

Here is the new bride and groom!

This past Saturday we had some friends and their children over for an afternoon at our house. What fun we had.

Julien was the only boy besides Xavier amongst 9 girls. Julien was good to partake all their games and plans. Even as to plan and make a wedding. So he dressed up as the groom and presented us his new bride. As you can see they have the glow on their faces.

We had a good laugh and thought all their planning and parties where clever now, we'll see how that goes in 10 yrs!

playing in the leaves

Just played outside to enjoy some warmer weather and beautiful sunshine before it goes and hide from us as the colder months are approaching.

The children raked a big pile of leaves while Xavier loved taking them in his hands to look and playing with them.

Of course I had to take my camera along and take a few pictures, so here are a few favorites.

First tooth

Wednesday November 11 is when we saw Xavier's first tooth come out! Finally after almost 14 months he has a tooth. He is still smiley and happy as ever even though it looks and seems painful to see him bite on things. We can also see that the second tooth is not far behind, so in a week or so, maybe even less he should have another one. That will help him eat real food that is not all soft and pureed all the time!

Our baby is sure growing up.

special

got to do a little scrapbooking last night and this is what I came up with.

I really like it since it is a page of 2 very special people in my life that I treasure! (hope they like it)

Then it is a little different style that was fun to explore something new!

I just remeber taking those pictures on the beach a couple of years ago and thinking how much fun they where having talking, and just sitting together. A simple moment to cherish and remember.

double page

Here is my page for last week. Been working on this one for a long time. and I know it is nothing fancy, just short on time, so I have been working in little burst of time then came a total loss of inspiration. so I finally sat down and decided to finish it one night. One thing that was difficult is the fact that it is a double spread, I am not comfortable making those but since I wanted to use all of those pictures without having to make 3 or 4 different pages I combined into a double layout.

It is finish and I like it now on to a new page, much easier and simpler
