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.

Wishing You A Merry Christmas!

I wanted to be sure to stop and wish my friends here in blog land a very Merry Christmas!  We're spending the holidays with Bird's family.  We kicked our time together off at a Michael W Smith concert and shared the following day with Evy and her family.  They made us feel like we were part of the family.  If you would like to read about our day together click HERE. It was especially fun to walk into the house and find our family Christmas photo on the fridge next to my sweet friend, Karin's.  Talk about two worlds colliding.  Way COOL! 

Since then, we've been keeping busy playing games, sharing food, love and laughter with Bird's family, childhood teachers and friends from Panama.  Last night, we worshipped together in a candlelight service that was beautiful and as always Silent Night sung acapella moved me to tears.  I'll post photos with stories and memorable moments soon.

I would like to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  Thank you all for stopping by our tiny corner of the world.  I've really enjoyed getting to know you, my readers.  I hope to get to know  a few more of you in the New Year.
