I have been silent here for awhile now. It wasn’t for lack of desire to share, but more about the desire to spend as much time as possible enjoying time with my family while all five of us were still under the same roof day in and day out. We had Gabe’s graduation open houseContinue reading “He’s in the Army now”

School Portraits Album Flip-through
We have decided to go ahead and have an in-person open house for Gabe, after all, but I started this blog to share his albums, and I will finish! 🙂 We have plenty of family out of town and out of state, who won’t be able to attend, anyway. So hopefully this blog will stillContinue reading “School Portraits Album Flip-through”
Gabe’s Life Album, Vol. 3, Flip-through
Six Months to One Year Old Ready for some more adorable baby pics of Gabe? Oy, I love looking back at these times when he was just a little guy (relatively speaking, anyway!). I can remember sitting on the floor in our living room at our old house, when I took the picture of Gabe,Continue reading “Gabe’s Life Album, Vol. 3, Flip-through”
Flip through Gabe’s Life Album (Vol. 2) with me!
Looking for some baby pictures of Gabe? This is a great place to start! Here is a video of the second volume of his life album, covering the first six months of his life or so. As always, if you’re just here for the pics and don’t care about the commentary, please feel free toContinue reading “Flip through Gabe’s Life Album (Vol. 2) with me!”
Flip through Gabe’s first scrapbook with me!
So far, I have only shared digital scrapbook layouts that I have created for Gabe over the years — but I scrapbooked most of his youngest years in paper form. These layouts are housed in bulky albums with individual pages covered with page protectors. This format makes them a bit of a pain to shareContinue reading “Flip through Gabe’s first scrapbook with me!”
A fearless child, a broken bone
From the time he was able to walk, I was convinced I wouldn’t be able to keep this child alive until kindergarten. Gabe is fearless. So it’s a small miracle that we only had to deal with one broken bone during his childhood — and it was relatively minor. The story he told us —Continue reading “A fearless child, a broken bone”
‘Life’ pages might be my favorite.
I love having some of Gabe’s biggest school and sports memories documented in his scrapbooks, but my favorite photos (and therefore, my favorite layouts) are often ones of him just living life. These are the pictures of fishing excursions, crazy faces he made, hiding under a mound of stuffed animals and more. They capture theContinue reading “‘Life’ pages might be my favorite.”
So, so sick!
Right now, people all over the world are feeling the heart-wrenching pain of having loved ones in the hospital. Making it much worse is the fact that the people in the hospital are often alone, because visitors are being kept at bay to control the spread of coronavirus. When our younger son (he’s 6) cameContinue reading “So, so sick!”
A couple of housekeeping items…
We’ve probably all been attending webinars and virtual conference calls during this time, so “a couple of housekeeping items” might be a familiar phrase lately. My apologies for sounding a bit cliche. Just felt appropriate for the times. Anyway, I wanted to mention a couple of things about this good ol’ blog. First, I don’tContinue reading “A couple of housekeeping items…”
