Today You : Anna : 02.24.10

ali, i love how you tell your stories. such great snippets of your daily life. you're certainly keeping true to your word, 'story'. well done.
but what i really love is how you manage to avoid a mess in your home with two young children. every photo i take these days (with a 6 and 3 year old) has some sort of clutter in the background.. pillows on floor, toys scattered, etc... incredible girl. lol

I love love love the diaper and the monkey hat!

Wonderful! The pictures tell the story, love this. I do miss these moments, mine are now 27 and 25. Thanks for sharing

embrace the moment, they'll be gone before you know it.

Monkey hat and diaper win! lol... that's great. My little girl will be 4 months old next week and I can't imagine somebody not having a little girl for these special moments!

I needed a reminder today to document my boys' everyday moments. It's been a while since I did that. It was getting to where I had been taking too many photos of the boys so I cut back (after browsing their baby albums and realizing I could have told the story with half as many pages and photos!) but now I need to get back into it again.

so, so, cute!
you should do this at least one day a month

You are so good at telling stories of your family's lives. These are great pages and Anna is such a beautiful and fun child.

What a fabulous day of story...sitting on her hands, just one of those things that could have been missed, if scrapping/journaling didn't exist in the world...Oops, never say that, bad....LOL!

I love this overlay, Ali...And your sweet little girl. :)

è bellissima!

Anna is so darn cute...but she makes me cold in her diaper with Simon at the door...lol The car seat shot is so adorable...how come when little kids do this we just love it...but as adults we look like "the bag lady"...so sweet Ali...have a great weekend, R

Precious!!!
Love how she rocks the diaper/monkey hat look.

Hi Ali-- I'd love to know how you keep these pages in your scrapbooks?? Is it a separate album or do you just put them in Anna's book??

OH MY!! Anne is the cutest sleeping in her car seat! Love that picture!!

I love this! thanks for sharing!

What a fun way to capture a day in the life of an adorable little lady!
