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.

With Faith as Small as a Mustard Seed...

A couple days ago, I received the Sisters In Faith blog award from Nancy at Be Not Afraid & Therese at Musings of A Mom. I met them on line over a year ago and have enjoyed getting to know them while reading their blogs. We've lifted one another up in prayer on more than one occasion. What a blessing! They amaze me with their spiritual strength and prayer life. It means a lot to be considered their Sister in Faith. Thank you very much Nancy and Therese.
What a way to start the New Year!
Karinann, is the creator of this Blog Award. You can meet her at over at Blessings of the Day & read about how this Blog Award came to be in this post. When honored with a blog award, you are supposed to pass them on to other bloggers you feel represent the spirit of the award. I technically could pass this on to every one of the wonderful ladies on my sidebar...and quite a few others but in this case, the instructions are:
1. Pass this award on to sisters who have been blogging with me from almost the beginning.
Sissy at Out on a Limb
Nichole at The Pumpkin Seed
Jessica at 5 Acre Fun
Bug at Day by Day
2. Include at least one new Sister In Faith.
Betty at Adventures in Blue is relatively new to blogging but I've known her since our husbands worked together in Italy. She was active in her church then and continues to be a strong woman of faith.
Thanks to all of you who have prayed for my family and me. Starting this blog has turned into so much more than I ever imagined and that's all because of the unexpected but wonderful support I've found through each and every one of you.

Thanks, Frizzy!! Therese thought of me too. Makes me feel so special.
Might be able to pass it on tonight.
Am having so much fun in Paradise that I have not given a lot of thought to what I might blog.
