layout of my girls

Sigh. Cute paper is all I need… 🙂 The floral is the new Basic Grey, Kioshi line. It's not at 2p yet but you'll have to keep your eye out. Lavendar hydrangeas, some of my favorite flowers, they were my wedding bouquet! 🙂 I think I'm going to use a butterfly on every page for awhile 🙂 So addicting! Some yummy Dear Lizzy and some new October Afternoon. Solid lines from all of them!

Picture of my and the girls from last summer in Australia. I love my girls. Chris and I were just looking at the pictures from that trip and marveled at how much Kira has grown since then. Seems she was still a little girl there, but since she started high school, time seems like it has accelerated. The teen years are such a delicate time. So many emotions and decisions where every day you face different challenges. It's all about how you as a parent are going to face them. All I can do is pray constantly for the right words and right attitude. It's crazy to think we get to go through this stage 3 more times! But I love the thought of me and my girls when we are all finally past this, when they are grown women. I hope that whatever we do to make it through these teen years, ties us even closer. Elsie makes me think of Kira so much when she was little, I miss her… but am just in awe of the woman she is becoming now.
I hardly take my own pictures anymore, I have to go to Chris' blog to steal his 🙂 He takes so many amazing pictures, these are some of my absolute favorites.
ok it's tied with this one. 🙂
you can read his own sappy post about her here 🙂
we love her. xoxoxo
