I had a good weekend. How about yours? Bishnu was off this weekend so we did a lot of hanging aruond the house. It was wonderful! We did spend some time with my parents Friday evening and Saturday because the Olympics has started! We are definitely an Olympic-watching family! The opening ceremony was beautiful, breathtaking and so artistic. There is so much history in China that I'm sure it would have been a daunting task to try to encompess it all! But it was done - with pride and beauty. It's been hard to do anything in the house at all since Friday evening because I don't want to miss any of the Olympics... I've especially been glued to the tv with the swimming events. My brother was a swimmer throughout school and our family really became interested in it during that time. And it's an exciting time to be watching swimming with our US team leading the way! Did anyone else catch the amazing US vs. France relay event aired last night?! I had to keep checking myself so I wouldn't wake Jonah up...lol! I also love the gymnastics, which has already started. Although it doesn't have as much grandeur as it seemed to have a couple of Olympics ago, it is still exciting to watch. The US team in those events is promising and it'll be fun to watch how it all unfolds. And last, but not least, the track and field events. I CAN NOT wait for those. Being a former runner, I know firsthand the excitement of a good track/distance race even if it was on a MUCH smaller scale! There's several new runners and hurdlers competing for the US this Olympics and I can't wait to see how they fare in comparison to some of the more seasoned athletes. Whew! That was much longer and long-winded than I thought it would be...
Just a couple of layouts that I finished this weekend. This was all part of a 2peas Young Scrappers Challenge/Anniversary Week. I just recently joined this group and am having quite a bit of fun!
This one doesn't actually feel complete yet...I'm thinking the title needs to be beefed up some more. What do you think?
And lastly, I introduce our new kitten! She is super sweet and cuddly, although she may not look like it in this picture! Bishnu and I have been joking that she can literally kill a person with kindness! My office manager discovered her one day while doing yardwork. She heard her mewing and found her sitting in a bird's nest that was balanced in a shrub! She and Glendale seem to have a love/hate relationship and we'll see how that eventually plays out. We are absolutely stumped on a name for her, though. So I am asking for help! Please readers, if you see this picture and think of a fitting name, feel free to leave me a comment! Because I am sincerely getting tired of calling her 'the kitten' and we are ready for something permanent.
Have a wonderful Monday!
Ta ta for now!

beautiful layouts and i love your little kitten...i miss mine :D
I like the finished los :) The flowers are a nice touch on yours. Olympics on all day here, how odd...
Great layouts and cute kitty!!
The kitten is precious and about the Olympics - I heard by husband screaming from the bedroom.
Ahhhh, isn't she sweeeet??
Great layouts! I really love the flowers. :-)
Your new kitty is SO cute! For some reason the name Misty comes to mind when I see her. Or how about naming her after some type of bird, since she was found in a nest? I think there's a bird called a 'catbird'? Or you could call her Magpie or Sparrow? Enjoy your kitty!
I've been thinking about it and Olympia comes to mind for the kitty. Not sure if Jonah can pronounce that though :)
Ooh, I like your "me at 24" layout. Lovely!
You could name her Ekaterine and call her Kat for short. :)
Gorgeous LO's. I need to get my butt back to scrapping. I have been lazy lately. Your kitty is so sweet, he looks like my Mom's. Such shiny fur and long whiskers. =-)
