Vicki Boutin, Mou Saha, Nathalie Kalbach, and miss Julie Balzer

and am going to share with you some sneaks…finally!

I’m going to photograph the 3rd class this week, and then I will share that one, too!

Thank you Helen and Celine for this amazing opportunity!

And for the unwavering support of my awesome DH!

Almost here…   August 22, 2010

we have had a very full and blessed summer,

and have been enjoying the time getting scrappy when miss M is napping.

we dove into our stash, using past collections of My Little Shoebox,

some Fiskars punches, Paper Source ribbon, and those adorable mini alphas from MLS.

and voila:

our current and new teachers have their very own,

first week back to school survival kits!

day 2…   

little miss m has been feeling under the weather,

so unfortunately today is day 2 of just being here at home…

trying to keep up with her not feeling well.

laundry going for the 3rd time since 8am.

trying to keep liquids in her.

miss e is being a trooper and is doing alot of reading, has finished up her homework for 3rd grade, and is drawing her heart out for her sister, in hopes that her colorful artwork will help her feel better.

thank you for all of your support for our family:)

this past weekend was very bittersweet and sad,

but we know in our hearts it is going to be ok.

blessings,

erin
