And she scrapbooked, too...
In case you can't actually read the journaling, this was Jude with my grandfather Emil Hilman and his second wife Grandma Virginia at Easter of 2003. Grandpa died just before Jabin was born in 2005, and although Virginia reads this blog, and I occasionally hear from her via e-mail, we haven't had the privilege of seeing her since he died, as she moved back to live with her family in the States. So scrapbooking these photos tonight was somewhat bittersweet.

Yesterday was the four-month anniversary of Levi's heaven birthday. Thanks to some wonderful friends, I got to spend the weekend at a scrapbooking retreat, and chose to use that time to add pages to Levi's memory album. And while doing so, I remembered the reasons I have to be thankful.
I already recorded too few memories of our short time with Levi on film. Now, while those memories are still as fresh as possible, I intend to scrapbook them all, and some that don't have pictures, too.
A memory-making day as a homeschooling family, plus a bit of scrapbooking nostalgia.
Wow, so much has happened last week/will be happening this week that I'm going to be posting a couple times this week.
