Back from the Beach and a Busy Day!

We are back from the beach! Actually, we got back Saturday evening--but I still haven't unpacked everything just yet. I'll get to it in due time, my friends, in due time. I finally got all of the pictures off of the camera. It'll take me a while to sort through them and pick out ones to post and such, but here's a little preview ...

Matchy-matchy!

Is he contemplating the chief end of man--or just wondering what's for dinner?

I've got lots of blogging material to keep me busy, that's for sure!

We had a busy day today. Tanna headed back to work this morning, and we had a visitor. I volunteered to participate in a research study that a gal is doing for her doctoral dissertation--it's on scrapbooking and why people scrapbook, etc. She is a sociologist. Anyway, she came over this morning for a few hours to interview me about scrapbooking and to look at some of my scrapbooks, etc. She was really nice--and she is pregnant, due to deliver in just two weeks!

So this morning I was doing my usual "mad dash" before company comes, straightening up, wiping down countertops, etc., as well as getting out a lot of my scrapbooks. I guess I never realized how many I had until I dragged them all out--and I didn't even get them all out this morning. Wow--there are a lot! And that doesn't even count all the scrapbooks I've given as gifts. I guess I really did spend a lot of time (and money!) on the hobby back in the day--but I don't regret it (except for maybe a few expensive impulse purchases). Wish I had the time and space to devote to it now, especially with such an awesome subject. ;o) This blog is serving as a sort of scrapbook for me right now, though I have done several pages about Kate this year. I am always having new ideas for pages and things to scrapbook about. Anyway, I am rambling ...

Late this afternoon, Tanna's parents came over to visit. They just returned from a trip to Korea last week, so we hadn't seen them in over a month! They brought with them something special for Kate--I'll have to post a pic or two in a bit.
