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.

Happy 36th Wedding Anniversary Mom and Dad!

As of today, my parents have been married 36 years. Even more amazing is the fact that they've actually been together since they met in Jr. High. I think my dad said they've been together for 42 years total. (Bird and I think 9 years is a long-time.) Ha! We're so proud of them for being such good parents and role models. We know it wasn't always easy at times and we know we weren't always angels growing up. Right Bro? The perfect angles!? No matter what you stood by each other and you didn't give up on us nor on each other.

You should see these two. They act like teenagers who can't keep their hands off each other. When I was a teenager, I found their PDA more than a little embarrassing. Now, I couldn't be more happy for them. I love seeing that they love each other as much if not more now than the day they got married.

Happy 36th Anniversary.
We love you!!!

WOW - Bro' as an ADULT --- you know he'll always be a seventh grader in MY mind...(Sorry, Baldie)

And your parents have always been my fave! Glad to hear they haven't changed --- they were like teenagers when WE were teenagers. I loved it then and I love it now!

Happy Anniversary to your parents! 36 years... that is awesome!

Sadly, my parents divorced after 30 years of marriage. But, they do get along better now than they did during the last few years of being married to each other... so I guess that is something.
