A little about me and my family...

My photo
My love of people, photography and the world began as a child. My family moved a lot and taking pictures was my way of remembering friends, capturing special places or moments and holding them close. Becoming a wife and a mother has always been a dream of mine and I count my blessings daily. I started this blog shortly after our daughter, Yaya joined our family through the blessing of adoption. Its purpose was to share pictures and stories about our life with family and friends. Later, it shared our adoption journey to our second daughter, Baby Bird as well. Now that our family is complete I like to think of it as our family’s journal or life book. I'm passionate about life, my family and preserving our history one snapshot at a time. The thing that amazes me most is the abundance of beauty God blesses us with every day and in the simplest ways if only we take the time to slow down and appreciate them.

Remember the plums?

Remember the plums from the entry "Change?" Well, they are ready and Boy oh Boy are they sweet and yummy.
YaYa begs for, "More Pums Please!" Here she is enjoying them as the juice drips down her chin, hands and chest. This is the life!!! Thankfully, we can hose her down in the pool after she's done devouring them. We cleaned up the back yard today.
Sadly I had to throw 5 1gallon ziplock bags of plums away because they had fallen to the ground and were rotting or being eaten by who knows what. YUCK!!! We have reached all that we can but keep trying to go for more. I guess the little basket above will have to keep us happy for awhile. Wish we could share them with you.

Oh what fun memories you are making! Love the photos! Here is to fresh fruit that you don't have to go and buy! Wish we could do the same thing here! Maybe I will have to go to the farmer's market tomorrow and see if they have anything!?

Love the pics!
