Loved Fully

These layouts are for Cathy’s Design Your Life class. They are meant to
be plain.

Journaling is about how I love David wholly and full all my being.

Halloween

Journaling Reads:

When I went to shop for Halloween costumes this year, there was nothing
for your size, except this dinosaur costume. I wasn’t sure how it was
going to turn out but, as always, you wore it with much joy and it was a
big hit. While you loved the Googleween, and going around the
neighborhood for candy, your favorite part of this Halloween was opening
the door when others came to visit us. “Trick or treat!” you would cheer
loudly, even though I told you many times that you weren’t supposed to
say that. They were. You didn’t care. You had fun and that’s all that
mattered to you. Well little boy, that’s all that matters to me, too. It
was so much fun watching you give candy and tell people that they could
only have one!

Pismo Beach

Journaling Reads:

Pismo beach is one of your Dad and my favorite places on earth. I can’t
even explain why we love it so much but we do. During our trip to San
Luis Obispo, we took one day and drove down to the beach and it ended up
being the most magical day of the whole trip. There’s something, maybe
the air or the water, that relaxes us and puts us in a happy mood. It
must have worked its magic on you, too because you loved walking around
and playing in the sand and watching the water. At the end of the day,
we sat at a restaurant and ate a delicious meal, putting a perfect end
to a perfect day.

When I look back at these photos, they still make me smile in memory of
the warm, beautiful, and relaxing day we had as a family. It also
reminds me that we need to take more vacations like these. We need to
take trips and spend some quality family time together. After all,
what’s more important than that?

This is the first time I ever saw David playing with sand!

Daily David – Day 342

Daily David – Day 341

December Daily – Day 5

Today was the ultrasound for the little one and after almost two hours
he or she still refused to turn around so I’m going to have to go back
on Tuesday. Oh well, it was still a lot of fun. And I wanted to make
sure not to forget our new tradition this year: stockings.
