Clementine lo...Happy first mother's day, Laini! Clementine looks such a delight and the time seems to be slipping away so quickly. I was never much of a journal keeper when my kids were young, but did jot little notes into a daytimer as things occurred. I found it was enough to jog my memory for later when I have the time to put together books for all of them. I did Hannah's last year for her graduation and it turned out great! Give it up for digital scrapbooking, yo!

Listing things they had accomplished and all the little elements that made them who they were during that time. She would then seal the letters in an envelope and put it in a trunk specifically for that child. <br /><br />When they become adults she plans on giving the letters to them. It's an amazing way of seeing your child and remembering those fond memories as they grow.

As frustrating as that can be at times, it serves to make everything more beautiful and precious. I still look at both girls when they're sleeping and see the babies they once were. I love them as kids even more.Martha Brockenbroughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00921299935406060841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-22773470450853130122010-05-12T01:11:38.075-07:002010-05-12T01:11:38.075-07:00So glad you had a marvelous day, and what gorgeous...So glad you had a marvelous day, and what gorgeous photos.
