Sweet Shoppe Designs

Hi, everyone - I know I've been a bit on the MIA side lately, but I've been checking in when I can & keeping up with all the designer blogs & such eventhough I haven't had time to scrap.

I've been spending most of my time taking care of the little bundle of joy named Ben, who turned two months old yesterday and is even more of a blessing than we ever dreamed. Haven't wanted to say too much so as not to jinx things (eventhough I'm not really a superstitious person generally), but I just had to share with you why today is most likely the best day EVER in my life. Here's a clue:

Yep, we spent the morning in court & Ben is 100% signed, sealed and all legally delivered - Benjamin Bradley POUNDS!!

I truly don't have words to tell you how elated we all are or to express our thanks for all the prayers & encouragement from so many of you here as we've gone through this process. The spirit of generosity in this community is one of the main reasons I consider SSD my digi home - you just can't find that in such abundance most places, and I wouldn't trade y'all in for anything. So, a huge THANKS is simply not enough . . . I can only hope for each of you that you will someday experience even half the joy I am feeling today!
