The Springfield Tornado--and I don't mean Cooper McCue


I have finally managed to do a mini-page of Parker and Jack. I am trying to work on my "portfolio" which I plan to use to let customers make their color selection. I am so paper obsessed. I just love all the different patterns and colors--the choices are endless. Just when I think they can't possibly come out with anything cuter--they do and I have to go buy it. I am definitely spending all my little profit on more scrapbook stuff! That was not in the business plan, but this is really all about fun and creativity so who cares, right!?
Tracy, Stella, the boys and I all went to Springfield on Sunday to visit Allison, Mark, Molly and Cooper McCue. I just fell in love with their beautiful, new home. It's so open and bright--everything that my house isn't. I need LIGHT!!!!! The boys had a great time--especially Jack. He and Cooper really hit it off and actually played together! If you know 2 year olds, you know just how amazing that really is. If you know Jack and Cooper, you might wonder if they joined forces to burn the house down or tie Parker and Molly up, but they really behaved themselves! Parker keeps telling me, "We are going to have to go back there soon." That is the highest compliment Parker gives. Unfortunately, not long after we left, the McCue family and the rest of Springfield got walloped by a tornado. Luckily, everyone at their house is fine but I hear their swingset is history along with everything else that was outside. Yipes! Parker was glued to the news all evening and kept saying, "we were just in Springfield". I think he just couldn't imagine that something that bad could happen to a place where he had been. Reality bites!
