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.

I Wonder If I'm Growing...

We have a kids c.d. in my car and one of Yaya's favorite songs to sing is called, "I wonder if I'm growing." I think the following pictures from last year and this year give a pretty clear answer. Thanks to my little snowman, I've found a great way of visually measuring her growth for years to come.
Yaya at 17 months. Yaya at 2 1/2 years.

A friend of mine takes a picture every month of her babies next to a particular baby doll - makes a great comparison for the first year.

The snowman will work great for years to come.

That's a very cute way to keep a record of her growth from year to year.

Yep, I'd say she's growing! And looking particularly cute too.

Anyway...she is a cutey!!

Too cute! Did I tell you Sam grew 2 inches from his 12 month to his 15 month appointment? The doctor is floored at how quickly he is growing. Lots of tall uncles to catch up too! Love seeing that little cutie pie of yours:)

She's just so cute.
We used to take pictures of our boys in the same place every year. You don't realize it until you compare.

I read once in a Family Fun mag ways to keep track of children's growth --- by the same tree every year, in the same (adult-size) outfit every year as they begin to fill it ... now by a stand-up snowman. Perfect!
