And September... is out of here

I guess I was too busy to blog in September. Not really sure what happened there, but I certainly found time to scrapbook in September.

There were challenge entries, like She Is a Horse Lover starring Trinity.

And there were layouts for a new team - I'm guesting with DigiZines by Teri for a bit!
This layout uses Rose Wedding Scrapkit available in her wedding store.

And of course, there were layouts for my home base, E-Scape and Scrap:
First up is Tabatha 2012 using A Matter of Time by GreenEyedLady Designs.

Next is another favorite of mine from September, Brother Teaching Brother, created with a picture of Logan and Connor using It's Fall Encore by Sweet Spot Designs.

I captured some cute memories of Trinity using I'm Ill by butterfly Dsigns.

And I wrapped up the month with Grandparent layouts to showcase DigiZines by Teri's new Grandparents Scrapkit. Check out my parents and my in-laws as grandparents.

And that's September in a nutshell. Unless you wanted to hear that we hit up Sea World for Labor Day and rode Manta 3 times, or that Life After 50 Hikes continued with a fun day in Oakland at the Oakland Nature Preserve, or that Lawless was awesome, or that work was brutal but we pounded out some results. All of that is true too, but pictures of these occasions are a bit light. See you in October!

Grandparents

I miss my grandparents, although I'm thankful I at least knew them and didn't lose them until I was an adult. I hope Tabatha, Trevor, Trinity and Logan realize how lucky they are to have all of theirs. Sometimes it's hard for me to remember my parents are Grandma and Grandpa - when I hear those words I think of Grandma Hession and Grandma and Grandpa Cumpton. I usually think of people in relationshop to myself - my sister, my niece, my nephew, etc. It drives Lisa crazy when I introduce her and the children to people - "This is my sister Lisa, my nieces Tabatha and Trinity, and my nephew Trevor." She always says, "You could tell people they are my children." Maybe... nah. More important that people know who they are to me, lol.

Here is Logan with his grandparents, these pictures really show the love my parents have for their grandson. If only I could get the other kids to stand still long enough to get some good shots like these.

Journaling:
Grandparents are a special part of a child’s life. Logan is blessed to have all four of his grandparents and they all love him dearly. Dad spent time with him as a newborn. Here he is 4 months later, looking more confidant as Logan grows bigger & stronger. The love, though, that remains constant.
