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.

Pappy Love

 Pappy Love NOT TO BE CONFUSED with Puppy Love.  I think I've mentioned before how much Yaya loves my dad.  She's crazy about him! These pics were taken in August but that same smile was plastered across her face tonight when she got to spend a little time playing with him. 

 Sorry, these are a bit grainy because I took them from across a long table in a dimly lit room. 
Here she's feeling pretty special because she wearing his hat.
I can't for the life of me figure out where she gets the idea for these poses!
How much fun can ice cream be? 
  
The smile on her face says it all. I just wish I could have recorded her giggle too.

There is nothing like a grandfather... I love watching my dad with my nieces (his granddaughters) - it reminds me of the relationship I had with him being a small girl...

I think its so important for little girls to have that "male" role in their lives....makes such an impact on their future relationships

Your dad is clearly enjoying himself every bit as much as Yaya!
Very cute.

Pappy's are some of the most IMPORTANT people in the world.
YaYa is so blessed to have one like him.

Little girls love their grandpas!

Tahoe wasn't that cold at night. The kids were fine in sweats and hats, although we were in the trailer with the heat on at night. But go quick because snow could start falling in the next month!

Wylee wants to do some snow camping this year, so we'll probably go to Yosemite in January or February. That will be a whole new scary experience!
