Swimming Solo

Cole recently graduated from his 'Baby & Me III' swimming class, to the Starfish class. He's had 2 classes so far, and has been a little apprehensive at the start of each, but then cracks a smile and enjoys the rest. Mom and Dad are glad they no longer have to join him in the pool - ha ha. Lauren's class is in the neighboring lane, and hopefully that won't provide too much distraction going forward :)

Project Life | 2011 Catch Up

The two final weeks from 2011, since as I mentioned I got started on this early :)

Christmas week in Phoenix, packed with lots of activities, including a trip for Lauren to see the Nutcracker downtown.

New Years week in Las Vegas, where we saw the Rick Thomas magic show, had fun with Ama and Ankong, and ate lots of delicious food.

Getting Back on Track

We went to the YMCA today, first time in 3 months for me. Had to have my account reactivated. Embarrassing....

Starting 'Project Life'

I'd been looking for a simpler way to scrapbook, and came across Becky Higgin's Project Life in some of the blogs I frequent. I decided to give it a try, and purchased the core kit (cobalt edition) and several of the photo pocket pages on Amazon.

The kit arrived before the holidays, so I decided to get started early - here is my first week's spread. So far, I really like it, because I don't have to spend time planning a layout - just drop in some photos and jot down a few things on the journaling cards. I like also that I finally have a place for some of the other little items - like the kids' artwork, ticket stubs, etc. Now the question is, can I keep up? :)
