Cherishing These Times

because life is too short.

I don't want to forget these memories and times with my kiddos. Steve and I were looking through some old photos last night and we had some of Ella and Nathan. I couldn't believe how small they looked. Yet, you can see that glint in their eyes, those smiles that still make me smile and touches of their personalities.

This morning, as I type, Ella came into the room.
Ella: "Mommy, can I bring something to Nan's? I want to bring Barbie."
Me: "Okay, but you need to leave her shoes at home because they are too small for baby Lilly."
Ella: "But, Moooooom, Barbie loves shoes."

This is why I scrap. The little stories are worth telling.

A layout titled 12 Kisses:



Journaling: Kissing games are quite popular in this house. One kiss is not good enough so you always ask for twelve. Where that comes from, I'm not sure. You also play one where you wipe a newly planted kiss off & say, "Yuck." Gives us an excuse to give you two more. I wonder what other games you will invent. Bring it on-we are ready to play!

Have a good day all!

  5. I always love your layouts and this is no exception! And the kissing games are priceless. You are so smart to get those documented! It precious little things like these games that we think we will never forget but we do. Wish I had discovered a passion for this hobby when mine were younger. But better late than never. Thanks for the grin with the Barbie story! :)
