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.

Week in Review

Last week we enjoyed having Bird's family with us for 5 days. We went to Bounce U to celebrate our little friend, Elizabeth's birthday.
Uncle Doug and Aunt Allison had fun knocking each other out.
We spent a day at the zoo which ended with a pic nic.
Shared bedtime stories,
snuggled with Boppy and Bo,
had tea parties
(Lots and LOTS of tea parties with Yaya's cousins and their babies!)
we even celebrated a few early birthdays and Easter too.
In summary, we shared too many smiles to count!

The bounce thing look like so much fun! Don't know if I told you I'm starting a recipe swap. Check out my blog for the details.

I´m glad you got to take your mind off of your "worries" with such a delighted visit.
Family is a blessing!

Oh great family time - nothing can beat it, really! I grew up as an only child and my cousins were the closest I had to siblings. Still today, they mean the world to me.
