Been a busy month

This month has been busy, feels like Christmas was just here. John took a trip with his dad to Fresno to visit with his Grandma. She was having some heart issues and had to be admited into Saint Agnes for a week. They drove down there and she eneded up going home the next day. They stuck around a few more days to help around the house and get her all set up. She's doing much better as of today - we Skyped with her and Aunt Lupe. John came home on Sunday and Mom went back to CA on Tuesday - Aiden said "Bye" for the first time at the airport, of course because he's pretty good at waiting til someone isn't looking to wave.... she didn't hear him cause she was on the other side of the gate. Silly boy! He waved for a long time after she left and knocked on the bedroom door for a couple of days after. It was kind of sad for me to watch cause I missed her before she'd even left!

I have been making cards and doing a a lot of experimenting with my Cricut. I have paper that I haven't even used and I'm looking at ads for more? I think I may have an addiction. Below are some of the creations I have made this last month. It's kept me sane and busy while Aiden is sleeping. I like having some time to myself. I actually have thoughts that don't include Aiden, bills, and John.


This is a Explosion card I made for

John's Grandma. She loved it. There is a cut out of Aiden in the middle. It looks like a box at first. Turned out really cute and she bragged to all her doctors at the hospital. It was sweet.

This is a card I made for my Aunt and Uncle's Anniversary. It looks like there is no "I" before the "V", but that's the way it had to be to be linked together as one word since the "I" doesn't have a tail on it. It turned out pretty darn cute!

This card, with the little boy holding a frog (which happens to be one of my favorite silhouettes), I made for John's cousin. They had a baby the day after Thanksgiving. We recently got their announcement in the mail. His name is Kingston, if you can't read it.

And of course, we can't forget a picture of Aiden. He is growing so fast. He has 6 teeth now and eats just about anything you give him. He is attemping to run now. His favorite things right now are books and "growling". He hates going for rides in the car, would rather be at home playing on the floor with his toys. He also enjoys Skype - still trying to figure out people in a box.

That's all for now! xoxox
