Very Lucky

I am working very hard to get Conner's first album completely put together. I typically scrap things as I am inspired...which has left me with many projects left undone and I am ready to have at least one done. So, my goal has been to get 2004 done for Conner. Shouldn't be to hard, right, since Conner was born in July giving me just 5 months to scrapbook for the year. Well, I have discovered that I take far too many pictures. ;) At this point he is likely to have more than a couple of books per year of life. Which, yikes, means that I am farther behind than I thought. At any rate it has been so much fun to go back and scrapbook these fun pictures at the same time of having Blake. I get to remember the milestones that Conner crossed first and then relive them as Blake crosses them. I only wish that I had so many pictures of me as a child, the wonders digital photography has done for remembering moments in our lives.

Precious Moments

I have discovered I LOVE textured cardstock! It even inspired me to step outside my box and create this ultra-simple layout.

Journaling: Just days old resting safe in your Daddy’s arms. This is one of the rare precious moments that Daddy got to hold you in your first week of life due to the jaundice. He longed to hold you and snuggle with you, but you had to be on the billi-bed except for when you were nursing. Amazing how in these few photographs you can see the immense love he has for you, his first born son. July 17, 2004

Better Late Then Never...

Okay, I said I was going to post a layout a day for awhile, I should have said I would try. My big boy, Conner, got to spend the night at Grandma and Grandpa's. You would have thought that I would have time to get a lot accomplished today. Think again, Blake, who normally sleeps in the morning (sometimes until noon) decided that today would be an excellent day to wake up early, never go back to sleep, and scream at me every time I set him down. Hence, here I am at midnight posting my layout for today, I mean yesterday.

I really do scrapbook...

I know that I haven't been scrapbooking too much lately, but I really do (have) scrapbook(ed). I thought I'd show proof over the next week or so. So be sure to come back each day and see another layout that I have in our family scrapbooks.

Remember to take time and celebrate life!
