Thoughts Of Mom {And Dad}

This is the card that I made to give my mom for Mother's Day. My mom is not into crafty things at all but she absolutely loved and appreciated this card. I get my need to create things from my dad. Dad does woodworking and is an amazing welder. He creates awesome things made of iron and or wood. When I was a kid Dad was always out in his workshop making something. Even now when we visit he is always working on one project or another. Mom's hobby and favorite pastime is cleaning and keeping a spotless home. I certainly didn't acquire any of that passion from her.....he he he. I like living in a clean home but I really detest housework!

Andrew's First Communion

This is one of the beautiful pictures that was taken of our son Andrew after his First Communion. I absolutely love this picture....love how they captured his little hands. This picture is just gorgeous in person. The image I can load to my blog is a "low quality" version due to the copyright.
