Our family finally took new family pictures this month. Here's the one of my little family, and there are lots more over on my blog

Kyle, Emma, Stacy, Leo
As a little update for those who don't read my blog, Emma is a little over four years old, and Leo will be three in two weeks. Crazy! We are thoroughly enjoying summer. The kids can't get enough of water: backyard pools, water slides, splash parks, sprinklers, water balloons, etc., etc!
Emma will be starting preschool again in September and is incredibly excited for that. She loves learning, especially anything science-y. She is one chatty girl and will talk the ears off of anyone who will listen. Leo has been working with Kids on the Move for the last year. He has a speech delay and some developmental delays, and we're fairly convinced that he is on the autism spectrum. He is one little ball of energy and has a fun sense of humor. He will graduate out of Kids on the Move when he turns three and then will start preschool with the school district in September. He's made so much progress this last year, and we're looking forward to the next year. They're fun kids and definitely keep us on our toes!
So we are crafting, all on our own. I got a Cricut for Christmas and I figured out how to make shapes and use downloaded fonts ad it has unleashed Rachel! She finds an idea and we pick colors and paper, she sands and sometimes paints and I cricut! ( It's an adjective I just made up) Then we mod podge and we have a holiday craft. I think Laurie would be proud to see us crafting on our own... We just made this lucky sign with a sparkle clover.
A couple of weeks ago we made this True Love Sign. Seriously loving this Cricut and the Sure Cuts a Lot Program and the Inkscape studio (it's free) then I can make all my own shapes! Amber and Debbie and Sharon really helped so much with all oof the advice on a Cricut! I love it! We even made potato shapes and a cow for Acacia's school poster and little shapes for Zander's Valentine box!
