Today we had a really great day. We went to church and after church we went to the Hahn's place for lunch. Rob and Kirrily Hahn have three kids, Jasmine (8), Blake (4) and Ambur (2 days older than Zech). We met the Hahn's one of the first times we went to church and Kirrily and I quickly discovered that we have a lot of the same interests. She is huge into scrapbooking and I have been dying to get some done, plus her husband Rob runs all of the Rabbit Photo's in Australia.
Rabbit Photo was just bought by Fuji, but it is basically like a Black's, only better. The target audience is scrapbooking mothers. The prices are great (especially if you become a Gold Member), the quality is really good and they are flexible (which is great for us scrapbookers, wanting all sorts of poses and different sizes of photos). Plus their booths in the store are super mom/kid friendly. Underneath each kiosk there is a little TV and a bench like seat so the kids can watch cartoons while Mom is busy picking out pictures and placing an order. This was Rob's idea, and I think it is a wonderful idea!
Anyways, I have went to some classes with Kirrily and we have had some scrapbooking dates at her place. Yesterday we had lunch and after lunch we put all of the kids to bed and then us gals scrapbooked and the boys did some gaming. Rob and John get on really great too and share a common interest in games! It was great!
When the kids woke up, Zech was really in his glory playing with everyone. Blake and him were really good buds! Unfortunately, I forgot my camera and Kirrily's camera's batteries died right when we were going to get some great photos. I will have to get some of them, this family has been a real blessing in our lives. It is people like the Hahn's who have made things so much easier and who will make it hard to leave.
I did finally finish a layout from a class that we took. I really like how it turned out and I learned SO MUCH!!! It may be hard to see the colours, but the background is a dark chocolate brown and I should give credit, but I have no idea what company the stuff came from. Also the photos are not fuzzy like they appear. I had to take a picture of the layout and I think because of the flash, it left a bit of a fuzzy reflection.

YAY! It looks awesome! So happy you are getting time to scrap again!
Glad to hear that you had a wonderful day! It is always enjoyable meeting new people but especially so when you find someone with whom you share a lot of common interests. Thanks for sharing your scrapbook page. Looks like you had a fun and creative time.
