The Anniversary Couple

Posted on April 3, 2008 by Suzanne

Sheesh.

My brother pointed out in the comments to my last post that there is another reason why today is special.

Hmm.

Could it be…his anniversary?

David, Stefanie and their kids were here for Christmas, but I seem to have only 1 picture of the happy couple together. Most of the rest of the pictures I took during their visit are of the 4 cousins.

Let’s see, this must be 9 years? (I know this because I was pregnant when we made the trip to Lake Tahoe for the wedding. Mark got to go skiing, I got to lounge around our hotel room cross-stitching and reading. Not gambling. LOL)

Congratulations, David and Stefanie. I hope this year is a fantastic one for you and your family!

Hugs and kisses from the Earleys!

birthday boy

I almost forgot! Today is my Dad’s birthday! (No, I didn’t forget his birthday, I forgot that I was going to post about it…)

I think one of the boys must have taken this picture back in 2006 when Dad and Judie were here for the boys’ 7th birthday. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have taken a picture of him that looks like this:

Priceless, though, don’t you think?

I’m not sure what he thinks is worse: his actual age or the ages of his 3 children. (All of us are in our 30s now.) He’s got a few years to go before he is really decrepit (just kidding!!)

Happy Birthday, Dad! Hope you are having a great day!

Love,

Suzanne

p.s. weather update: rain. again. but the snow is nearly gone from our yard! and as mark told me in an attempt to cheer me up about the rain: at least you don’t have to shovel it.

Snuggling under a new quilt

Sitting here at the computer, I have my brand-new, freshly washed quilt in my lap. I’d rather it were Maggie curled up there.

Sigh.

I’ve gotten some digi-scrapping layouts done in the past few days. I haven’t mentioned that I’m taking another class from Jessica Sprague. It’s the advanced class, and woo-boy, are we learning some cool stuff.

Here are the first two assignments. The first was done using all of the class materials, the only thing I added were the photos. I made the scalloped border and created that cool circular frame thing.
