Where Have We Been?

Well, I started Anna's Lifebook in January and what can I say?  It took over for several months as I scrapbooked our journey to Anna with heartfelt details of so much of her story....our story.  The most amazing story of God bringing her to us and us to her.... as a forever family.  Very emotional.  Many very late nights and working before the dawn. You all know how hard it is to find extra time for projects as we also keep up with our households and families!    My hope and prayer is for this to be a treasure for my precious girl all her days. My desire is for her to see our loving Father's hand in every detail of her life.  I am further down the road of this amazing adoption journey, by having done this book for my Anna.  As you can see in the picture, my dining room was a disaster off and on,  for quite some time.  Note how Anna had to work on her "own" scrapbook while I worked.  I just gave her some poster board and she then took all of my scraps....cutting and gluing like crazy!  For the most part our project is now complete and we are now back to the blogging world again!  Also blogging friends, I printed all of my 2008 blog in a book.   Hopefully another keepsake of sorts for my children as they can remember back over our family activities during the years. My plan is to backtrack and post some about our year thus far and try to play catch up!
