A Picture of Us Without Being a "Picture" of Us

Our days of togetherness include walking Roxie to school, picking her up. We don't always walk. Sometimes one or the other of us will take the car.

It is magical when we do walk. More time to talk, hold hands, see things. I had a rock in my shoe, and my Prince Charming did a Cinderella for me.

We have HISTORY!

I have been taking digital photos of hard copy photos. Feeling amazed at my beautiful babies. Sweet memories and thoughts as I look at these.

I love this shot of Emma and Stewart lying on mini-trampoline with matching picture Books of Mormon. "Abid-ah-buh?" was Stewart's mimic-repeat-after-me of family scripture reading. Kind of sounds like "It came to pass"



Mom made these in Homemaking--sewing boards using shoe laces to go in and out of the holes and trace the pictures she drew. Formative favorite pictures.
Emma baby pictures.


At 4 years I remember thinking I thought this looked like me when I grew up.
Gift from creative friend last year...
..and this year. She knows and shares the creative NEED to make stuff.
I am in an on-line quilting group. We make blocks for each other. This month I made these for Sheryl in DC. She sent me fragments of 4 of her brother's shirts, asked for stars. I used up every scrap I could, including his pocket with initials in the center of the "Churn Dash" star-ish block (it is one of my all-time favorite blocks!)
