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.

Picture Perfect Memories III

 I don't know about anyone else but our week flew by in a blink.  I honestly can't believe it's already FRIDAY and time again for Picture Perfect Memories.  Did you get your cameras out and capture some funny moments in or around your house you would like to share?  If so, I can't wait to see them.  Please leave a comment below telling me and others you're participating.  I can't wait to see what everyone has been up to!
We've had tons of rain lately and with it has come a leaky roof/patio cover.  Our landlords are planning to replace it soon and the lights will have to come down with it.  I couldn't miss my chance to capture them on camera.  They are one of my favorite things in our backyard and remind me of our days in Italy.

I'm pretty sure this Black Widow was flooded out if it's hole from all the rain.  I wasn't at all thrilled to see it in our backyard but was thankful I saw it in time to keep my family stepping on it. 

Like all kids, Yaya fights sleep til the very last second and this night was no different.  That said, even she was no match for the loud hummmm of the hairdryer and the heavenly feeling of having her hair dried and brushed. Please ignore the toothpaste spatters on my mirror! LOL

This clover reminds me of my childhood.  My brother and I used to lay on our stomach next to our mom looking for four leaf clovers.  Every once in awhile we'd get lucky and find one.  We always took them home and pressed them in a book.

What beautiful pictures! I love the one of Yaya - my children do that sometimes - it's just so cute!
That spider looks nasty, but the other pictures are spectacular!
Have a wonderful weekend
