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.

Off To The Races

I think I've told you before how much Yaya loves her little snail friends.  My girl is nuts about them.  Each time we go outside she looks for them.  Once she finds them she carries them around and talks to them as if they actually understand her and are her pets.  "Come here Snaily! Come on!  Come on!  You can do it!"  Here she's attempting to line them up for a race. 

This kid has more patience than I ever did.  She tried to line them up over and over again but before she could get to the last one they were all headed in different directions again.   

Daddy to the rescue!
NEED I SAY MORE about what a WONDERFUL father he is?!

Happy Father's Day Bird! 
I can't believe how blessed Yaya and I are to have you in our life.
Thank you for everything you do!  We love you Daddy Smoochie!

Two things:

1. SO Gross! I can't believe Bird allowed all those snails to be on him!

2. Bug has so exact same shoes! Did Yaya scuff them the very first day, like Bug did?

Happy Fathers Day to the dads in our lives!

Oh that is cute! Good thing she does not live in our area - the snails get eaten too fast to see (by the birds and chickens)
