Finally!
Most of you will so relate when I say that I'm the constant photographer in our family. I never have my picture taken and it's 1/2 way my fault - either I can't stand to relinquish the camera or I'm not dressed right or I forget to ask. But yesterday I asked! ![](http://bp3.blogger.com/_u32waLtMHyE/RgtFwDy2qYI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/SEpuvBLZQ_g/s0-d/mama%26c2.jpg)
I was dressed for meeting a girlfriend for lunch and when I got back , Carson was just getting in from preschool, so we took advantage! Hoyte took these photos and I was pretty amazed! I just love them - so much so I had to create a layout immediate! (What can I say? ;))
I've also been holding in some other amazing news that I just can't keep secret any longer.
Now that there's been a couple of doctor visits and a heartbeat heard, I can finally say WE'RE PREGNANT!!!!
Ok, don't anyone have a heart attack! I don't mean ME literally, but my best friend, my college roommate, my Ann Marie. She's as close to me as a sister could ever be and this baby has been a LONNNNNGGGG time coming. After years of fertility testing, procedures and everything else under the sun, it's finally happening. This wee one will be my niece/nephew and I tease her by saying as much MY baby as hers...ESPECIALLY if it's a girl! ;) (And it doesn't hurt that she's due right on my birthday! How amazing is that??!)
So please, pray for this little one and a healthy pregnancy for my sweet friend who's waited a lifetime for this. XO-Kelly

The View from my RearVIEW
![](http://bp3.blogger.com/_u32waLtMHyE/Rgb84GPHeAI/AAAAAAAAAU4/03LrZS_aP0c/s0-d/rearview2.jpg)
As an aside...I had a funny happen today (about the ONLY funny thing that happened today!). I was walking in the mall trying to reign in the above mentioned children when a woman walks by. "Self", I said to me. "That woman looks familiar. That woman looks like Shannon's sister, Paige. I don't know her from Adam, have only seen her in pictures and through stories, but I wonder if I say her name softly if she'll turn around and I could maybe always pretend I was trying to talk to some else if she looks at me strange." (How's that for a run-on sentence. I'm sounding like Kayla Aimee now I think ;)) So I call out "Paige!" and indeed she turns around. So I rush over like some crazed woman and introduce myself. Of course I did. That's just what I do. And graciously she talked to me...even though she probably thought I was some crazed stalker chick! What a sweetie of a sister you have, Shan!
Happy Sunday, everyone! :) ~k

I fell in LOVE in Africa....
Hi all!! Boy is it good to be back! I have to say quickly (full re-cap shortly) that South Africa - both the land and the people - are absolutely beautiful. I had one of the best times of my life and....I have a confession. I fell in love there. Meet the object of my affections ;).

This was this little man's first day on public display at a Lion Park outside of Johannesburg. So I can safely say, I saw him first and he's mine all mine! Too bad he wouldn't fit in my suitcase!

Bye for a Week :)
I'm off bright and early in the morning for my imstillpinchingmyself trip to South Africa! I can't wait to meet the delegates there and see firsthand the amazing scrapbooking talent South Africa has! I'm completely psyched! I'll be back on St. Patty's Day - so until then, when I'm sure I'll have oodles of gorgeous pics to share, I'll leave you with a layout done about our recent Aquarium trip.
