Love the photos - the look on Anna's face where she is pulling Simon's hair is priceless. Thanks for such a great blog - you inspire me each and every day.

My Grandma used to tell me when I was your age and my children were your children's ages that time flies and I should enjoy them while they are young. My children are now young adults. I have a doctor, an actor and a chef - all three different. I cherish all the hundreds of photos I took and I can't believe Grandma was so right. Time does fly. Enjoy every day you have them.

Snuggling too tight is an impossible habit to curb. I cannot help myself, once I get my arms around something as cute as Anna - just try to pry me away! I don't blame you for a second Simon.

Thank you for this post.
I found your blog a year ago when I was looking for scrapbooking guidance and now have a list of sites I check regularly because you led me to them. Finding words of others that resonate so deeply with me has helped me find my own voice and feel less alone. You can't imagine how much this has meant to me.

Those two are so stinkin' cute! I love that top picture where they both have the same mouth expression. They are clearly brother and sister. Thanks for sharing Ali!

Love, love this post... your kids are so adorable Ali, you are truly blessed :) Thanks for always making me smile, for inspiring me in so many ways - to take more photos of the everyday, to be grateful more for what I have and not worry so much about what I don't have... so thank you for sharing so much with your readers as always :) Enjoy your weekend!

Thank you for sharing some of these links... as I am about to turn 40 in just a few short weeks, the link to the website "Ordinary Courage" led me to tears - happy tears! I am very much looking forward to your BPS class this fall...

I love your layout and this post. Also, I didn't realize you were teaching a class with a view to the past (but, that's so perfect and so "you" when I think about it). So, it's kind of funny, because I've just finished putting together a vintage digi kit and for some reason, I kept thinking of you while I was designing it. Maybe you were sending me vibes (heh-heh)!
Now, I need to follow up via email! =)
