MY BABY STARTED KINDERGARTEN TODAY!!!

*sniff*
*sniff*

my bella boo had her first day of kindergarten today. michael and i brought her to school where we got to hang out in her classroom, have breakfast with her, give her a ton o' hugs and kisses, watch a presentation given by the other kindergarten teachers and then back to her classroom to ask any questions.

this was the second year that they did it this way and bella won't go back until monday. if you don't think for one second that i was pissed as shit when i found out about this, well, you're wrong.

but anyway.

dontchya just wanna eat her up in that jumper???




with book bag and lunch bag that she left at school {shakes head}

THANK*YOU!!

thanks everyone for the well wishes for my bella*boo! i'm just ready for the 12th to get her so i can find out what comes next. boy do i hate to wait :) i'll keep ya updated.


oh

i wanted to share some other scrappiness that i have been working on lately. i don't know why, but i scrap in some major spurts. i'll scrap like crazy and then you won't see anything from me for weeks. totally annoying.

anyway

this is another mini (told ya i was hooked) that i did on sunday and believe it or not, it got me on the catwalk which is so cool.

i take a ton of pictures of nature related items. have no idea why since birds scare the shit outta me and its always so hot outside, but when something catches my eye, i've gotta snap it. so this is an album devoted to a few of my faves :)

























(excuse some of the wonky pics, but i scanned em and well transparency doesn't scan well :(

then this next lo i did for the design experiment. you were to do a lo on comfort and believe it or not, this is what comforts me. i know noel will totally agree with me on this ;) oh and a lot of the goodies i used on this page came from the picnic basket kit over at noel mignon.




can you believe how much i've been scrappin'?
oh and i've been cross stitchin' up a storm as well. i'll have to post pics of those too. nothing like the kiddos being in bed, jb on the tube, and doing a lil xstitching :)

{deep sigh}

heaven!

MY POOR BELLA*BOO

bella has always had sinus problems and lately her eye has been really gunked up and i blew it off as that. we had a slight change in our weather last week and everyone has been complaining of sinus problems. well monday when i got home for work, i noticed this pink skin hanging on her eyeball {insert gag and freak out on my part} after having the pediatrician paged, i explained to him what was going on and he advised that she needed to come in yesterday morning. so after running from one doctor to another doctor and then being referred to now a third doctor that only comes into town once a month, i found out that bella has a papalloma on her eye. and it has to be surgically removed.
{sniff sniff}

i won't know more until we see the lid specialist (umm hello...doctors specialize on the eye lid only???) on the 12th of next month.

poor lil thing. the only good thing about it is, that it doesn't hurt or bother her at all which is a saving grace for me.

has this happened to anyone else's kiddos???

my poor bella boo!

HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY MY BELLA-BOO!!!

"on the day that you were born the angels got together
and decided to create a dream come true.
so they sprinkled moondust in your hair
a golden starlight in your eyes of blue.
...just like me, they long to be
close to you."

happy 4th my lil bella-boo! i can't believe how fast these years have just flown by. i'm amazed every day by you and sometimes even frustrated by you, but without you in my life, there would always be a part of my heart missing.

you have been a true blessing to us and we couldn't have asked for beautiful, loving, special, smart, unique, & funny lil girl.

*i love you more than candy bella-boo*
