My friend Virginia is hosting fall cleaning week. She's already got her day1 post up here with some great before and after pictures. Be sure and check it out and why not play along?! If you don't have a blog, just leave your plans and progress in the comments.

My plan for tonight is to clean scrappy stuff...we'll get pictures of that tomorrow.

And tomorrow...my plan is to BUY PAINT!!!! So I can get the last coat on Grace's room. woohoo!!

That's how long she's been with us. It's crazy how I can't believe she's already three months old and how at the same time it seems like she's always been part of our family. She's such a joy and blessing to all of us!! Every single person in our family is head over heels in love with her.

She has this totally cute and hilarious habit. She'll coo and if you coo back she'll respond even louder..and if you get a little louder she'll get even louder...and she'll just keep going. I've really got to get it on video because it totally cracks me up everytime she does it.

She smiles at just about everyone but Kessa and Zeke don't even have to talk to her, if she just sees them she's beaming....and they love her just as much.

She's starting to be awake more, but she's so contented (as long as she's doesn't have an upset tummy) that it's still going smoothly. Her fussiest times are usually when the other two are down for their naps...which I suppose it good although I do hate giving up my "me" time! lol. Oh well...God is continually sanctifying me and I praise him for it.

I've had this LO in my mind for quite a while...I was just waiting for the perfect pictures. And I may do another one when i get the perfect pictures with them FACING the camera too! lol.

Anyway...people are CONSTANTLY asking if Kessa and Zeke are twins. I bet 9 times out of 10 when we go out we're asked at least once if they're twins. It's such a common occurance I knew it needed to be documents. I mean...it PROBABLY won't be like that forever! lol (although who knows!)

A few weeks ago I was at the grocery store with all three of the kids and Zeke and Kessa were both riding in the back of the cart. While we were standing in line a woman asked if they were twins and I laughed and said no. Her response was..."oook..." (and you totally have to get this really sarcastic voice when you read that.) I'm PRETTY SURE she thought I was LYING to her!!!! lol!!!

I used Julie's exclusive CMD sketch and the November Autumn Splendor kit for this LO. By sure to check it out and play along for your chance at some prizes! :)

This super cute kit is now shipping from Color Me Daisy! All the little extras this month really send this kit over the top. I LOVE the tiny Maya Road chipboard houses and the transparencies are amazing! Here is one of the LOs that I've done so far.


Kessa's growing up so quickly...sometimes it catches me off guard. I'll be watching her and all of a sudden I'll see a glimpse of the woman that she is turning into. This picture made me catch my breathe. It was visible proof that she wasn't my baby anymore.

No more chubby cheeks, no more baby curls...just that slender neck and tiny wisps of hair that whispered to me that my baby was growing up.

But I'm choosing to not cry that my baby is growing up. I'm choosing to be excited about the times to come...about watching who God is growing her into...about the new things she's learning. I'm going to be thankful for the time we had and savor the time to come!

Just popping in to share the Nov. Scrap-Tastic kit. The Flirtatious kit is so full of bright fun papers and embellies! I really love the trim in this kit, it's great!

And here are some of the things I made this month...

I was loving my glimmer mist this month...and of course more distressing because..well...it's like an illness... I can't NOT distress! lol


Aren't the Prima leaves just too cute?!?!
