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.

10 Points for Dad

Last weekend, Bird came home with a fun way to spend Saturday morning. He'd heard of a Fancy Nancy party being held at a local Border's. Yaya has several of these books plus a few things from the Fancy Nancy clothing & accessory line. We couldn't pass up the opportunity for her to meet other girls who enjoy these books too.
If you know anything about little girls & Fancy Nancy,
they take any opportunity to get all dressed up & look tres chic.
The Borders team read 2 or 3 of the Fancy Nancy books to the kids.
Click on the picture below to see how decked out some of these girls were.
Yaya is in the fuchsia hat just to the right of the reader.
Poor kid! Her hat wouldn't stay on right for more than two seconds.
I couldn't believe how patient she was with it
let alone how long she kept it on her head.
Between book readings, Borders staff served Starbucks hot chocolate & scone wedges,
offered Fancy Nancy crafts, stickers, magnets,
held a Fancy Nancy parade through the store

AND they held a raffle to win a Fancy Nancy bag and 2 of her books.
We didn't win the raffle but we sure had a good time.
THANK YOU Scott for being such an involved and loving father. 
Thank You Borders for offering such a fun weekend activity.

Reading this makes me wish I could be a little girl again, just for the day. How could anyone resist wanting to dress up and hang out with a bunch of other fun gals at a cool bookstore?!

Oh what a fun day! How I wish my girls were still into stuff like Fancy Nancy. It's all Hannah Montana and High School Musical now.... why do they have to grow up?

Makes me want to be a little girl again! This just looks too precious!

My sweet friend I go into the Mayo Clinic on the 24th of this month and will covet your prayers. It's right before Thanksgiving and I'm not sure how long they will be keeping me.

However, I am thankful that I will be under the care of the Great Physician and a team of doctor's that looks at the whole person and hopefully come out with better answers and hope than going in.

May your family be blessed this Thanksgiving. I'm so glad God brought you into my life. You are such a precious sister to me :)

My girls LOVE Fancy Nancy! I'd actually give dad 20 points for that one!

What a fun time! I've never heard of those kind of things over here ( in fact I've never even heard of Nancy ____ (sorry forgot the other name)). I can imagine how much Ellie would LOVE it!
