Give a Warm Welcome...

Pat's wife, (and Caleb and Andrew's step mom) Jen, has joined the ranks and is officially a blogger. Please welcome her to the community. You can check in on her, what's left of her pregnancy, and her delivery story. (coming soon) She is situated over there, on the right.

Please Consider...

I am not posting pictures today. Instead, I would like you to focus your attention over to the right. For some time now, I have had the Relay For Life logo on my blog. Kristin and I talked about walking in the relay, but it wasn't a practical idea for either of us. I also click daily (almost daily) on the "click to give" button on the breast cancer website. Every click helps give women free mammograms. Today I noticed I can add the cute, but oh so important, button to my blog. Please, Please click on it each and every time you come to visit. I have also added a link under the Relay For Life logo for TEAM GAVIN. Please check out the site. Pat and Jen are walking in the relay and would really appreciate your support. Last, but certainly not least, I added a link to the website for Chris Stark and Angela Baker's 3 day walk in Detroit in September. Again, check out the sight. Both ladies' personal cancer stories are shared. Their walking team, named NEVER (TWO) YOUNG, is comprised of Chris, Angela, and Angela's sister, Kristin. Each of these women need to raise 2200.00 just to qualify for the walk. Please keep them in mind when spreading your generosity.

Toddler Talk...(see below)

I added these pics (below) of a 6x6 album I worked on last weekend. I didn't zoom in enough for you to read the little titles on each page, but the title of the book is Toddler Talk and the pages represent a year in the (talking) life of my toddler. I have been recording things Kyle has been saying this year and decided to make an album about it all. It has been so fun. Sometimes, I don't know who Keith thinks is funnier...Kyle for the things he says, or me for constantly stopping Kyle to ask him to repeat what he says so I can get it right on paper. Either way, I am glad I started this album. I will continue to add to it for the next few months. It is going to be a fabulous keepsake and constant reminder of how fast babies, including mine, grow up.

I hosted a scrapbook workshop at my house over the weekend (thanks, Janine) and I think not only did everyone have a good time, but I also think everyone got a lot accomplished!! That rarely happens at one of our get togethers! Stay tuned...
