Hard to believe this little guy is 8 years old today. I found him a few minutes ago in one of his favorite hide out spots - under our bed. Happy birthday, Chester! :)

As The Belly Grows
I've been asked by several different people lately to see the "pregnant me." Truly there was no belly before last week to photograph. Last night I asked Trent to help me with photos that will show off the new belly and another cute outfit. And, yes, suddenly I have a thing for pink shirts - 3 of my 7 maternity tops are pink! :D

Violet
For the Two Peas weekly challenge to make a girlie page, I scrapped this cute photo of my niece, Violet. She is such a happy girl and every time I pulled out the camera, she'd turn and grin. :)
Supplies: miscellaneous cardstock, lace paper trim, ribbon and flower; Paper Salon patterned paper; Bazzill edged cardstock; Making Memories metal clip; Micron pen.

Digital Pages
Trent kindly stopped by the post office during lunch for me yesterday to pick up my latest order of digital scrapbook prints from ScrapbookPictures.com. I had placed the order the previous weekend while all of the sizes I needed were on sale and requested the standard $2 shipping. Needless to say, I was quite surprised on Sunday to find a note in our post office box that the package was waiting for me to pick up. And, as usual, the quality was wonderful. Now to get them all into their proper albums. :)

Self Portrait
Sporting the new haircut and new maternity clothes before heading off to church yesterday, a self portrait:
And, no, the house isn't that crooked - I just couldn't hold the camera straight and snap a photo with one hand even with a little supervision from Cali. ;)

Saturday w/ My Sister
Yesterday my sister drove over to meet me for a day of shopping. We started with lunch at California Pizza Kitchen where I snapped a photo for my Project 365.
Then while she headed to a hair appointment, I went to Archiver's to complete a make 'n take album which will be perfect for baby brag photos. :) And picked up a few baby papers.
Afterwards, we went to store after store looking at shoes and maternity clothes. The maternity clothes were the most frustrating - very little in stock, expensive, fit funny and did I mention expensive?? When we left the mall I'd found just one pair of jeans in a department store on sale that worked and fit the budget. On the suggestion of an employee in Gap, we headed to the shopping center across the street to see what Old Navy had. Again, very small selection although I did buy one pair of super comfy black pants and a hot pink 3/4 sleeved top as well as these adorable little clothes for my baby. They were clearanced out - $7.50 for all three (vs. $30 at full price).

PhotoHunt: Warm
Searching for a photo for this week's PhotoHunt theme, I came across one my mom took in January 2008 of my sister's cat & dog curled up in my brother's lap. They loved to snuggle up together. :)
