saturday

Thank you all so much for you wonderful comments on my last post.  I am feeling MUCH better after now my third ESI.  My physical therapy begins this coming Monday & while I am still wearing the brace to pick up Nicholas & when I do any prolonged physical activity, things are much better :)  Some days I do too much & I feel it but most days I actually feel pretty decent which right now, I'll take it!!!   I'd love to feel completely back to normal but I understand there may always be some discomfort & that I just need to adjust my days accordingly.

This past weekend we celebrated Nicholas' baptism.  It was definitely overdue & he was a big guy to hold over the baptismal water, but it was a WONDERFUL day of close family enjoying one another's company & absolutely beautiful weather!!!

Me & the little guy in his spiffy suit . . .



The fam - daddy looks a bit tired in this one but all the others were blurry :)



Nicholas did not like this part & was pretty much traumatized for the rest of the day.  You will notice he isn't in any other pics from the day because he crashed upon returning home & slept through the entire party :(



Had to add in some photos at the cake table.  They were all from Marshalls or TJ Maxx - at $5 a piece on clearance they were a steal.  The yellow ones I painted myself :)



My brothers & sisters . . .



The Bonner clan . . .



The Drapalski clan . . .



Me & my hubby, he unfortunately had already escaped from his suit . . .



I couldn't resist putting these next 2 pics in, I set up the water table the other day & Nicholas LOVED it!!!!  So much fun!!!



As you can see, so did Ryan, he decided to go bobbing for ducks :)  Such a ham!!



Oh & guess what I scrapped!!!  It took me a couple days because I can't scrap all night like I used to people :)  But honestly, it felt good to be back there again - in my "space".  And it really felt good to be scrapping just for me, no deadlines involved :)  I have been admiring the Scrapbook Circle kits for awhile now & while their April was a bit funky for my usual taste, I ended up LOVING it :)  The layout I made is a mix of their main kit & add on, however I did add in the green American Crafts thickers (loved em').  The quote was from Pinterest (of course).  Design is based on their April sketch challenge :)



Close-up of the title work.  If you don't have these new Jillibean Soup alphas - they are a MUST!!!  I got them in every color - cute, cute, cute for long title work!!!



Close-up of the journaling, a new resolution of mine - get the words on the paper, right?



Hope all is well out there - enjoy your weekend!!!
