December Daily - Day 4

Saturday was busy and I hardly got a chance to work on my page in the evening. Add an annoying computer that was refusing to download my Day3 pages + my Day4 pictures and I was getting really frustrated.
But I prevailed, the computer yielded and I managed to post my Day3 pages and start working on my Day4 pages. The good thing was that I knew which pictures I would use for the front and for the back page + which stories I would tell. The bad thing was that by 10pm I was feeling really tired (somebody said twins?) and it was hard to concentrate on my modest Photoshop skills!

Anyway, here is what I came up with (sorry about the quality of the pics but the light is just terrible with this grey light):

page1:Journaling: Some falling snow and a small fire in the fireplace... could there be a more perfect setting to tell my parents and sister that we're expecting babies in June? They were delighted and excited by the news, although my mother already suspected as much!

page2:
Journaling: I love watching snow fall: it isn't that common around Paris... I am therefore delighted by all the small snowfalls we've had since the end of November and I hope I'll be able to enjoy it with Gaëtan soon!

Supplies: Webster's Page Xmas paper (2009), Hero Arts alpha stamp, black Versafine ink, orange Kesi'art ink, black border sticker ? (2008), Ali Edwards Freebie Capture the moments brush, Ali Edwards Holiday WordArt Vol2, Scenic Route sticker (2008), Making Memories Mistletoe glitter paper (2009).


December 4:
It was a rough night. Gaëtan woke up several times between 1.30 and 3am and we couldn't understand what was wrong: was it a bad dream, was he too cold, was it his clogged nose preventing him from breathing easily, was it hunger (he didn't eat anything at diner)...?? We were feeling pretty exhausted this morning but I was wide awake by 7.30am (sweet insomnia). I got up and decided to work peacefully (ie without a 2yo trying to get on my lap) on my December Daily. It started snowing pretty heavily by the time we all had breakfast so we left fairly early to go to my parents for lunch. The urban and forest landscape on our way there were beautiful. Jérôme fell down on my parents' driveway but I didn't although I was carrying Gaëtan and wasn't feeling very safe. We told my parents and sister the good news and they were really happy and excited! We watched some of their Mexico vacations pictures, had lunch, chatted while Gaëtan was napping, then left after he had his afternoon snack. The snow had stopped falling but we were afraid the roads would become icy after dark. We luckily had a smooth drive home. Gaëtan took his shower, then ate all his Bledina soup with pasta: hooray, such a relief since he only ate 2 cherry tomatoes and a piece of cheese at lunch. It was homemade croque-monsieurs for the grown-ups!
Tomorrow we're planning to go to IKEA to get our tree + buy a small table and chair for Gaëtan's room.
