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.

Do You See What I See?

I wonder.  Do you see what I see in this picture?  Look close.
I'll give you a hint it has something to do with the pattern on the giraffe in the photo above. Take your time and look REALLY close.  There are a few similar shapes that caught my eye.  You might have to turn your head a little to get a good look and different perspective.

Maybe the picture below will help.

Is it just me or is it wicked cool that this giraffe has not one but FIVE hearts on it's face and neck?  I didn't notice them until I was loading the pictures from my camera to my computer. 

Here is another shot of a giraffe I like.  I love the swirls its hair makes and the way the patterns come together where its legs and body meet.  Can you imagine what God must have been thinking when he created and "painted" this animal?  I wonder if while He painted those hearts He wondered if we would notice them.  I wonder. What would we see if we could look at the world through God's eyes?

How cool is that?!?! I love finding "hearts" on items...

I can sit & watch a giraffe for hours. The way their long legs move so gracefully... & that neck... add in the amazing beauty of their coat & those eyes & lashes... God is so cool to create so many amazing creatures.

I love the new header! Totally cute.

The agency called today and said they had some birth mothers coming in next week that matched our profile and asked us to pray for them. I have just a little hope, cause, well, things fall apart so quickly. Just thought I would share.

You are amazing!! Always looking for the best and God's handiwork in all you see and do.
Sissy, prayers for the mothers that are looking at you. For you too.

I also love the new header! The giraffe is the 'mascot' for the National Area I was adopted into in Mary Kay in PA. It was chosen because she said it has the largest heart of any animal and it is only safe when it is looking up (towards God!). How appropriate that this one is covered in hearts.
