March Adventures & Project Life

I recently learned about an amazing archiving company called Project Life. I have always loved scrapbooking, but found it difficult to keep all of the supplies organized and find the time to sit down and actually create the pages. In recent years, this blog has been my method for preserving memories. However, I have concerns regarding the fact that all of the memories are preserved electronically. There is just something special about being able to flip through the pages of a photo album and share memories with others.

With Project Life, those concerns have been resolved. The Project Life app allows me to scrapbook and create beautiful pages using my iPhone. I can literally scrapbook from anywhere which is extremely convenient for my busy schedule! Once the pages are created, I can share them with friends and family electronically and print the pages for our family album. It is truly the best of both worlds for me!

Let me know if you would like to learn more about Project Life!
 

Cousins

William (4), Peter (10), Bryson (4 months), MacKenzie (3 weeks), Matthew (13), Joseph (2)

Until just over four years ago, Matthew and Peter were the only grandchildren on either side of our family. While they benefited greatly by being the only grandchildren, I always wanted them to experience having cousins. Growing up, some of my best memories were made on adventures with my cousins, and I always hoped that my children would have that same opportunity.

Since August of 2010, our family has grown significantly. William was born in August of 2010, Madison was born in January of 2011, Kennedy was born in April of 2012, Joseph was born in May of 2012, Bryson was born in September of 2014, and MacKenzie was born in January of 2015. In four years, our family exploded from two to eight grandchildren! We were able to capture a photo of six grandchildren last week, and I am hopeful that we can get all eight together in March when Jodi, Madison, and Kennedy are here to visit.

I am so excited that our family is growing, and I cannot wait for my boys to make lasting memories with their cousins!

Baby Whisperer

Some people are naturally good with babies. While I enjoy every stage in my boys' lives, I have to admit that I always LOVED the newborn stage. I could sit and hold my babies for hours, watching their eyes flutter as they slept, their lips curl when they were dreaming, and their chest rise and fall with every breath. Although I will not have any more newborns of my own to hold, it is common knowledge in my family that I am always willing to hold the babies.

Peter has obviously inherited my baby obsession, especially when it comes to his cousin Bryson. When Bryson visits, Peter holds him every chance he gets. Each time, I am so impressed by Peter's ability to soothe Bryson, make him smile, and simply coddle him. Peter is truly a Baby Whisperer! I am confident that he has a bright future as a babysitter!
