Why I Scrapbook

Came down in the basement to find the
kids all looking through their scrapbooks
and I was reminded why I scrapbook.
Even if no one else ever looks at my
scrapbooks I know how much it means
to my kids. They love to read about
and see pictures of themselves. They love to
read what I journaled about them.
They were laughing and remembering
things that we had forgotten. It helps me to
stop and remember as well. I just
wish I could get to doing it more often.

Isabel's new 'do

Izzy finally agreed to get her hair cut after a
few months of my encouragement. I had encouraged her
because I was growing weary of the tears whenever
we would brush the tangles out of her long hair.
This is already much simpler...though I am
a little sad at how much older she looks.
It's cute though.

Horse showin'

Izzy won the overall High Point Award in Lead
Line after a five show circuit! She LOVES
showing horse!
