More Layouts

I finally finished the Grow With Love: Kids Edition project.  Although, I misread the last two prompts (Day 19 was from the kids edition and Day 20 was from the marriage edition) and thought they were two similar (duh) so I only made one layout for the last two prompts.  Oh well, I still completed the project.  Here are the last few layouts for the album:

Day Eighteen: Retrospect
Journaling:  Micah, you have been through the most of any of your siblings in the last four years. Three major surgeries, countless doctor appointments, and a little bit of growing. You’re still small for your age, but you’re starting to eat better (finally!), so you’ve been growing well the last six months or so. You’re still pretty anxious, but that has improved greatly in the last year as well. You’re doing well, my boy!

Day Eighteen: Retrospect
Journaling:  Rachel, you’ve done so much growing and changing over the last four years. I love the little girl you are developing into! You’ve always had an independent streak, so that hasn’t changed. Your gappy teeth have all but grown together thanks to getting rid of your soother. You’ve learned all your letters and most of the sounds those letters make. You’re still very keen on learning new things, and also sitting back and observing until you’ve gotten the hang of it yourself. You’ve learned to share and are getting better at empathy. You love to dress up and look nice, so you sit still when I want to do your hair. You’re getting too grown up, little one!

Day Eighteen: Retrospect
Journaling:  Danielle, you haven’t changed as much as the twins over the past three years. You’ve always been expressive, and a little bit silly. When you are happy, you’re very happy, and when you’re sad, you’re very sad. You love to dance, and you’re always on the move. One thing that has changed is you’re not as much of a mommy-suck anymore. I’m so glad you still love to snuggle, though!

Closing page
Journaling: Well, here we are, at the end of the “Grow with Love” kids edition album. I hope you kiddies enjoy these letters and notes when you’re older and share them with your own families, God willing. I also hope that you see a common theme running through this album - the fact that we are thankful. Thankful to God for granting us the privilege of being a family together, thankful for providing us with all that we need, thankful for each of you as an individual, and for who you are as a trio. Mommy and Daddy love you so much and we can’t wait to see what other memories we will make together and can look back on with thankfulness. Just… try not to grow up too fast, OK?

And of course, I was continuing on with my regular scrapbooking along side this project. I'm still creating for Sugarplum Paperie, Weeds and Wildflowers Design (although she is currently taking a break from designing), and most recently I asked Megan Farrow of Studio Flergs if I could be on her team and she said YES! I'm so glad I worked up the courage to ask:) You can find links to these lovely designs in my sidebar under "Sites I Love".
