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.

Easter Memories with Family and Friends

Sunday, my mom made several bowls of food coloring and the creativity flew around her table. 

I'm always shocked by how much time Yaya puts into each of her art projects.  She can focus on a single detail forever. 

I think adding the glitter and sequins was her favorite part. 

Tuesday, we had some friends over and the girls decorated some candy rings I had stashed away.  They were so funny as they colored and drew their designs.  Each girl had her own style and speed.  Yaya was the last to finish because she concentrated so hard on each and every detail of her ring. 



Each ring turned out so special and unique just like the girls.  They all agreed the best part was eating them when they were done.

So sweet!! Literally:)
I pray your family will bask in the peace of His Resurrection this weekend. It is my second favorite holiday. Maybe tied with first. We cannot have Easter without Christmas and Christmas is meaningless with out Easter. Blessings to all of you:)
Love you Sooooooooooo Much!

"Easter is about life: life after sin and life after death." (From a wonderful homily I heard today.) Alleluia!

What wonderful eggs!

Love the new header! Glad it didn't mess up your whole blog like when I tried it and Blogger was having issues. I'm scared to try it again now! Cute post. Those rings were edible after coloring them??? Can't believe the detail Yaya has on hers!

Hi Frizzy
It is lovely catching up here & what a beautiful daughter you have - she sure is growing up quickly & doing a wonderful job on her art projects. I have one that is a perfectionist with his art projects also - although the rest just rush through & get them done!
Love the new header - looks wonderful!
Have a great day
Renata:)
