Today is one of those days.
Mason crawled in bed with us at 4am with a horrible barky cough that came out of no where…we just got over bronchitis. He coughed, tossed and turned, and I was awake until 7am. I fitfully slept until 8 when he woke up and Tyler took him to watch a little Dora so I could try to get a few more minutes sleep. 10 minutes later we received a phone call from Dean that our church was broken into and Tyler’s laptop was stolen. So, he’s not one bit happy (his laptop was stolen 2 months ago by a homeless guy that we found out was living on our church bus…scary! But, the cops were never able to catch him. Tyler lost 200+ sermons that he had preached.) Anywho…today the thief entered in through the bathroom window and stole Tyler’s new laptop from his office, the TV from the nursery, our bass players bass & amp, a DVD/VCR Combo, a receiver, a bunch of electronics out of the youth room, and some other electronics from the church. Ugh. The nerve of some people!!!
I took mason to the dr. and he has croup and needs steroids and breathing treatments. We’re hoping Millie doesn’t get it. Poor little guy sounds terrible, but has been playing really well today.
I’m tired and crabby…and should be taking a nap, but know Millie is going to wake up any minute, so what’s the point?
Well…now wasn’t that all just a ray of sunshine??
How about some fun stuff?
Andrea Burns has these super cool Vintage Photo frames available at her store at www.thedigichick.com and they are on SALE today!!
And, here’s a layout I made of Millie using Andrea’s frames and her Love note kit! 
Jessica Bolton released her new Not Quite Men collection at www.scrapbookgraphics.com and it is so much fun!! It’s definitely a collection that I’ll use over and over! Plus, if you go to her blog…you can pick up a free sampler! 🙂 www.thescrapspace.com/jessica 
And here’s a layout I made using her new kit!
Well, that was my enabling for today! 🙂 Go, shop, and post me your links using this awesome stuff! 🙂
And…let’s all hope that tomorrow goes better than today!
OH NO!!! What a crappy day so far! Really…who breaks into a church!?!? Unreal… I hope the day gets better soon, sweetie! {{HUGS}}
The LOs are just gorgeous! I’m excited to see you on Andrea’s team and can’t wait to get to know you better!
Oh my gosh, Tyler has got to start taking that laptop home with him at night! That is nuts!
I love the layout of Millie with the vintage photo frame! As soon as I saw it I was like, the pic looks so old, is it really Millie, or like a pic of you? Ha! Needless to say, though I am not a scrapbooker, I can always use fun frames!
love ya!

That is terrible that someone would do that! I hope the thief gets found!
I hope your son gets better soon too! My daughter, hubby & I are all getting over bronchitis right now. Thankfully the baby didn’t get it.
I just discovered your blog today and I really like it (found your link at the DigiChick). I read through some of your older posts and loved watching your scrap style evolve over the months. You are very talented! I cried when I saw the layout of your mom and my heart is so sad over the loss of your son Miles. You have been through a lot that might make someone angry and bitter, yet you seem to have such a great outlook, which I know is attributed to your strong faith. From what I read, it sounds like your husband is a pastor. My husband is in his last year of seminary (he gets his M.Div. in May). We’re looking forward to his new role – though I know there will be lots of ups and downs in ministry.
Anyway, just wanted to say that I enjoy your blog. (I added it to my link section)!
