These poor unfortunate souls.

Zane looks as if he doesn't know what hit him.
The sad thing is, he really doesn't.
His life has been forever altered.
Here he is looking a little happier.
Live it up, buddy! While you still can.
Hallie is forever cheerful these days.
Which I appreciate...most times.



Hannah made this AWESOME hat and blanket for the baby!
Too bad it's so stinkin' hot!!!


And this sweet little thing is about to have a birthday. The other night
we were showing our visitors picture albums that had Hallie and
Hannah in them when they were babies.
We were comparing how they looked to how Violet looks.
After looking through several seriously out-of-date books
Grace asked me
"Is there a book like this with me in them?"

Oops! I was hoping she wouldn't notice.

So I now have 4 days (until her birthday) to get a baby book put together.
First I have to sort through SEVEN years of photos (still in the envelopes)
and try to remember what happened when.
Forget about the funny little stories that should
accompany your pictures. I can't even remember what
happened yesterday, let alone in October of '03.

Why, oh, why didn't I keep up to date on these things?
Now I'm sure Zane's going to want one.
And Violet.
And Hallie and Hannah will want theirs updated.
I'll be spending the rest of my natural days scrapbooking....
if you need me.


Word to the wise: If your books are out-of-date or
non-existent, get working sisters!!!
Your kids are going to be asking you for theirs some day.

I'd better get to work...I only got about 4 or 5 pages in McKayla's book & like 2 in Nathan's and nothing...not even a book for Alyssa.

Wouldn't it be easier to just hide the ones you have?

Yeah, I'm in the same boat as you, except with 4 kids instead of 5 kids... I'm hoping they never notice. Anyway, beautiful pics of your kids and baby!

You and I must be the "delay" scrapbookers! I've been trying to get back to it for a few years now. LOL! It's sitting up in Cason's room, just waiting until I either get a clue or get a break from my crazy life. I've given up for the current stuff and just put my blog in a book and have it printed. Alot easier! :)
