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.

The Yellow Chicken and the Blonde Duck...

Once upon a time there was a Yellow Chicken. His feet had been chewed by the family dog(s) and/or a toddler named Yaya. The stress from being chased and chewed on had caused his eyes to bulge and his feathers to fall out. What's worse, his rear end frequently fell open causing some pretty embarrassing moments. He wondered if anyone would see past these ailments and become his friend.
Half way across the country lived a Blonde Duck.
Like most chicks she worried how her feathery frock compared to others in her small Texas town.
She tried anything and everything to look like the beautiful birds around her but "no amount of hair gel, flat irons or electric shock therapy would tame this wild mass of fuzz." She wondered if she would ever find a friend who understood her pain.
One day, The Yellow Chicken clicked on a blog called A Duck in Her Pond and fell head over heels with the Blonde Duck featured in a story. He had never seen a creature as beautiful as her. Reading her honest words and seeing her frizzy feathers only drew him to her more. He decided to leave her a comment that said, "Fuzzy Duck, please know that we all envy your fuzzy feathers. It shows you have tons of spunk. Not many can carry that look like you do so well. I only wish I had self confidence and beauty like yours. You Rock!"
A few days later, the Blonde Duck clicked on a blog called Heaven's Gift and spotted pictures of a Yellow Chicken hanging out in a Christmas tree. The yellow chicken had no feathers and had huge eyes. She was curious about him and decided to leave a return comment that said, "The fuzzy duck from Tuesday likes the yellow chicken..."
When the Yellow Chicken read her comment he blushed a million shades of red. He couldn't believe someone as beautiful as her could really like him. He decided to take a chance and ask her if she would like to be his friend and hang out some time. To the Yellow Chicken's Surprise, the Blonde Duck agreed to meet. They've chosen to let their readers decide when and where should they first meet. The Yellow Chicken only requests they not meet at the restaurant called, El Pollo Loco.

Cute, Cute, Cute, and no I would not meet anyplace that has the name Chicken in it.
Am feeling a bit jealous though. Do the yellow chicken and the fuzzy duck really get to meet before the Gramma and the Frizzy?
Loved the story. Gotta go read about the fuzzy duck now.

You best steer clear of those places that have the name of Peking Duck in them also.
