Beach pictures

Things have been a bit hectic, so I haven't had a chance to blog for the last few days. But I did get our beach pictures put together into a scrapblog. Enjoy....

Another Scrapblog...

I have always wanted to go back and create a photo book for each year for Henry. Needless to say, I have all the scrapbooking materials in a bag in the closet and just can't seem to find the time to get it all out and do it.

But now that I've discovered scrapblog-ing (thanks again, Allegra!!!), it doesn't take that long. I'm not the most creative person in the world, but overall, I am happy with how this turned out.

This was an easy one. It is 2004 and I only had to scrap about 6 weeks worth of material. Don't hold your breath for the subsequent years...they may take a little longer. Afterall, there are THOUSANDS of pictures that must be sorted through. Fortunately, I've always tagged my favorites, and I think I'll just focus my attention on those.

A picture review of our trip to Chicago

Kudos go out to Allegra for showing me a new, neat little trick. I was struggling about how to recap our trip to Chicago in July. So here are the photographic highlights.

Obviously, there was much more, including:

• Trevor Lxxxx's graduation party (really, according to Henry you need to say the entire name, but for the sake of privacy, I've xxx'd through the last name)
• A visit with Aunt Kristen, which included a movie and dinner
• A play date with the children of many of mom's ex-bosses
• Many trips to pool, thanks to Auntie Margot
• A family graduation picnic at the beach
• A playdate with DebiP and Griffin at Chuck E. Cheese
  
• A weekend with Aunt Nada, including a trip to the top of the John Hancock building
• An 2-night overnighter with Titi and pal, Lukie
  
• A day spent with one of Mommy's oldest friends and her children, which included a trip the county fair (no, Meg's not old, just the friendship)
  
• A morning spent at Mommy's office, pretending to work
• And lots of quality time spent with the cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents

And in case you have any problems playing the scrapblog, the sheets are layed out below:
