PotD – Day 49



Happy Birthday Nicholas, Cole, Alcor, and Jack. Happy birthday to you,
my friend with many names. Here are some more shots
from our fun-filled afternoon of painting, sculpting, and playing games.

Third Birthday

Videos from David’s birthday.The first one is really long
and has music instead of sound, except for the very end. The second one is a few clips of
voice.

And here are
the photos
from the party.

Happy Birthday, my wonderful son.

Tulip Love



I decided to stop torturing you and create a special section for the
tulip love I’m capturing daily. If you love tulips as much as I do, click here.

DD – Day 49



One of the presents David received for his birthday was this little
computer. He absolutely loves it and takes it with him everywhere.

PotD – Day 48



A little toy I couldn’t resist photographing. And then, of course, more
flowers.

DD – Day 48



Today was David’s birthday party. Even though he whined about not
getting to eat the cake all night, last night, when it was finally time
to cut the cake, he threw a fit and did not want to sit down. Here he
is, blowing the candle with Daddy, even though he’s also crying.

PotD – Day 47



Just when you thought I was done with the flowers. I am not. I really am
not ready to be done just yet.

DD – Day 47



I am continually amazed by the beauty of this little boy.

Painting Class

Have I mentioned that I signed up for Paulette‘s organic
dimension class?
I am so excited. I love the idea of mixing things up in my scrapping. I
love stitching and I love the idea of using fabric, found items, and
paint. I adore her work and can’t wait to get started.

Journaling Galore

Thanks to some wonderful comments, I spent some time going back and
reading the journaling on my layouts today and realized how much I
already love reliving the memories. I can’t even imagine how much more
wonderful they will be to remember years from now. Here are a few of my
favorites: imperfect,
sign, today, magical
moments
, you
make me happy
, staying
up
, no
sad
, and more recently clouds and, of
course, not
just a dinosaur
. I love having the words along with my favorite
photos. I love some of the other layouts too, but it’s these with the
words that I go back to over and over again to relive the moments.

This is for me to remember that it’s always worth it to take the time
and write the story. Always. Always.

PotD – Day 46



A little girl was lining up all the animals at Target. I couldn’t help
but take a photo.

And here’s day two of the flowers Jake got me.

David, watching a coin turning round and round and going into a hole.
One of those donation things.
