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.

Bird is My Hero

A few weeks ago I came home from a busy day of errands to find Bird sneaking around the side yard of our home. He was trying to surprise Yaya and me with a new shelving unit for her room. He had no plan drawn out just went to work. You should know we own very few power tools so he had the staff at Home Depot pre-cut the wood to the sizes he wanted before bringing it home. He also found an old can of stain we used to put a shelf around the top of her room and took it with him to be sure he had enough for his project.
Here's an old picture of the before shelves.
Here's the after shots.
WE LOVE IT!
Thank you daddy!

Most of all I love your title, "Bird is My Hero." That just says it all. Wonderful husband and generosity and craftsmanship.

The chest in the lower right corner of the shelf looks very much like a chest that my dh and I found for a certain precious 3-year-old in our family this past Christmas. Disney princess outfits, it was, and ohhh, what a hit :) !
