Alphabitty Moments--W and X

Well, I have fallen behind.  As I mentioned, I lost the three Booksmart files I was working on: Nicholas's first year (which I have just finished recreating), Alphabitty Moments, which I need to completely recreate (thank Heaven for the blog back up, since I did not prudently back up the files as recommended), and the ABC book of my sister-in-law's and her fiance's courtship (their wedding is next weekend, so there went the dream of having it printed by then).  I considered playing the kidney stone card one last time, but there you have it: I messed up!

So here is last week's layout: 

Will began wrestling in 7th grade. It was a slow start, but these pictures are from the State's Novice Tournament where he placed third in his weight class. Why aren't the pictures taken at the tournament? I must've left my camera at home, right? Nope! Will insisted we not come because we make him nervous. I decided to respect his request, mainly to prove we were not bad luck charms as I fear he suspected. Well, apparently he was right: we were! No worries though, he was much less superstitious in 8th grade, and now in ninth, I am looking forward to watching him wrestle more often!

And this week's:

Let's face it: X is just hard! We, thankfully, have not experienced any recent emergency room visits requiring x-rays, so cheating was going to be required. This Club Penguin cake for Gabe was to be my masterpiece this year. It's too bad I used SuperMoist cake mix which could not support the Jell-O lake so it imploded a few hours after the final construction.  For the recreated a book, I plan to include pictures from everyone's birthday celebrations this year, especially since we get to celebrate Nick's first in a couple weeks. So, I guess improved layouts will be the silver lining in the cloud that is my Booksmart debacle!
