One thing that keeps me going recording memories of family and creating these pages is how much joy my children and husband get looking at them.   Along the way I have learned you don't have to create the "perfect" page; just make something and your family is sure to love it.

Milestones

Dear John Paul,

    You are 6 weeks old and are growing so much!  Each night dad and I go  to bed and say to each other "I can't believe how big he is getting."  You have already changed so much since your birth.  You can hold your head up for long periods of time.  You have really started to focus and look at people.  You smile.  You "talk."  I love when I am talking to you and I can tell you are focusing so hard and then you smile so big and let out a soft "coo."  I can just tell you are thinking and telling your brain to do these things!  Your beautiful smiles brings tears to both dad and myself.  We love you so much John Paul!

Picture Love

I love this picture and everything about it.  Bill is unshaven.  Our Bed is half-made.  We just changed J.P.'s diaper on our bed even though we have a changing table.  But this is life. This is our life and I love it.  I love how my husband looks at his sons and I love that J.P. is starting to stare at Bill and J.P's eyes move towards Bill's voice.  So, this picture might not be considered photographic art (see J.P's blurred hand), but it's us and it's real.

Happy One Week John Paul
