Found : I Love My Home

This is a keeper! :D

That's awfully sweet - good find!! LOVE the details he included on the drawing of you :)

Looks like you've finally got that sunshine you were longing for! :)

LOVE that picture - at first I thought you were hula-hooping. . .or got GIANT boobs. . .then I realized that was Anna - LOVE it!! I love my kids' art from school.

That's sooo cute!

Simon's drawing is such a treasure! I'm curious... did it come out of his backpack like that or did you need to iron it? I'm retired from teaching but I used t watch the little ones 'cram' their papers in their backpacks. If this starts to happen you can put an empty paper towel roll in his pack and show him how to roll his papers around it.
Anna in a swimming suit is the cutest! Wow, Simon is getting so tall!

Can't wait for those summer posts Ali, look forward to all things summer even though we are in the middle of winter here in Australia.

Love it ... especially how Anna is drawn in as a happy Mexican jumping bean. Too cute!

I love Simon's picture, especially how he drew you. Can't wait to see what your adventures are going to be. Love the bathingsuit photo, Simon is built just like my son Sam, you can see all bones and spine and his ribs, he eats all day and night but doesn't gain any weight. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to summerstories.

Truly enjoyed your lecture at B.l.i.s.s. Inspired now to journal more stories. Thanks again.
P.s. Love your glasses in the drawing...dontcha love it?
Kids are the best!

I love how he called it a HOME vs. a house.
You have made a wonderful home for your children.
Enjoy your summer adventures!

How sweet! I love the tiny baby and glasses.

love it Ali!!! it's always fun & heartwarming to find these little things:)

i love your hair and glasses and holding baby anna. i love it when the kids create art and express themselves. so sweet. thanks for sharing ali.

So precious!!

The real question is, which one is Simon?! : )

i love it! now that my kids are older i especially love looking back on those drawings.

LOVE Simon's art!!
you are too cute, with your glasses and holding baby anna!
through his eyes we see the innocence of life.

What a great photo. I love that your photos capture such awesome stories -- like Anna's and Simon's age/size difference, emphasized by where Simon gets cut off in the picture, and that it doesn't prevent them from being super cute friends ready to get some sun!
I'm excited to find out exactly what your Storyology class is all about!

Ali, you are so good for me - and by extension, my family. I am working on a project of collected artwork by my brilliant, sensitive and quite good looking grandchildren. Making recycled chipboard covers, and putting in several of the pages of art, along with photos of the creators "in process" I am doing it for the moms, but I KNOW I won't really want to give them up once they are done...

Ali I absolutely loved the Storyology class. It really inspired me to pull out my pen & paper more often and to bring stories back to my scrapbooks, instead of just pictures & embellishments. Believe it or not I have my composition book with me in my purse and have not stopped carrying it around since your lecture. Thank you thank you thank you!!!! I think you just improved my life more then you know! :)
(tell Chris to keep thinking of hobbies!) :)

I love Simon's drawing! What a treasure!!!

So sweet! Hope you guys have a good summer.

oh my goodness! What an amazing memory to treasure. Simon might not always love his home (teenagers can be fickle), but this is something to hold on to.
