So Very Thankful

Those are gorgeous photos. I love the photos with you wearing your sweet little Anna, I wore my Abbey until she was about 3 in just about every way I could rig it. Oh how I miss that! She's 12 now and I can just pick her up to my hip for a few moments if she jumps. lol Luckily she is a huge snuggler and my lap is still her favorite place to sit. Thanks for bringing back such beautiful memories. Hugs, Christine

I knew there was a good reason. He still keeps my vote. :)

Looks like a great weekend!
Thanks for letting us peek into your life. I started reading your blog a few weeks ago. I really like this kind of posts, where the pictures tell the story, and the pictures are supported by just a few words/comments. I am new to scrapbooking, will do it all digitally, and this is definitely a style I might use...

omgoodness! that photo of the 3 of you all with ur laptops is just priceless!!! that is awesome!!! what a perfect moment caught by the camera!!!

That baby carrier looks hard to do... how long did it take you to master that?

Hi Ali!
I just wanna say thanks for sharing this. You have a own way of capturing golden moments and writing golden words with your pictures.
You allways inspire me.
Thanks!

Looks like a wonderful weekend! Love the photos! Thanks for sharing.

What precious memories you're making! I just love the photos of the four of you on the beach.....BEAUTIFUL!

Ali you have a beautiful family. The love you share is evident in everything you do. Enjoy each and every minute. Thank you for sharing with us.

thankyou :)

My Mom took it :) - we were staying at their house.

It does take a bit to figure out how to put it on...but once you do it is really comfortable. It took maybe three or four times before I felt like I knew what I was doing.

It also helped to watch the videos on their site and on you tube.

My advice to a scrapbook beginner is that you can start simply. You need paper or cardstock, adhesive, a paper cutter and some pictures. For titles and journaling, use your computer or handwrite on solid cadstock. Start small, but just start!! thanks for your inspiration Ali.

I am so glad you all had a great time, Ali, and I love your list. The pictures are gorgeous!

LOVE the pic of the three of you sitting around the table with your laptops. That is hilarious. Waiting for the day there are four of you there.

The pics of Anna with your parents are adorable.

Thank you for sharing your pics with us!

Anna is so cute! I am wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing what kind of baby wrap you were using with her in those pictures. Or any links to some that you've liked and used. Thanks! :)

i love the, i think, 7th pic with all you on the laptops. could be one of those pics that years from now you see in a book about 'what life was like in 09'
