baby B

With four sons running around it can be easy for me to get distracted and think of them as a whole instead of individually.  Creating this file was time I needed to focus on the traits of just one.  The twins get lumped together so much more than they should so I chose to do an album for each of them.  I let them pick the folder and papers I would use — it’s funny, they chose the the same folder and completely different papers.  That sums Graham & Matthias up in a nutshell.  They’ve SO loved looking at them.  And I confess — a bit of the journaling brought tears to my eyes.  This has me striving to slow down and be more conscious of each child as an individual.

• warning: lots of pictures. lots.

Look!  I even broke out the sewing machine.

This another one of the projects from the Heidi Swapp class that I took.  I love all the little pockets and mini albums within the project.  And wait for it ——- 33 pictures!  Yes. You read right.  THIRTY-THREE! And truth be told, probably all pictures I may not have scrapped alone because I am so behind.  I chose pictures of him that I love for different reasons, ones that totally tell the story of who Graham is.  This memory file makes my heart sing!

I love this metal word — it’s a bookmark from Hallmark’s old Product (Red) line.

And so the story of my sweet baby B is told — my laid back, attention to detail, striving to be different, quality time, easy to love boy.

File #2 coming soon ….
