Many of you know me from way back when. From a couple of journaling/scrapbooking books I had out (wow! it seems so long ago). And from time to time, one of you will ask me about my 'cover' kids...what they're up to, how old are they...
So I thought it might be fun to have a little 'where are they now' segment...
Youngest daughter, then...
and youngest daughter, now...
Yeah, she's grown up just a little bit. Loves baking, friends, art and photography (this one taken by her sweet friend--they love to go out for photo shoots...but darn it, I wish they'd stop playing on the train tracks).
Son and oldest daughter, then...
and son, now...
13 years old today! Loves football, basketball, backpacking, friends...and he's smart as a whip. He really is, just like his dad. Not his mom, his dad.
Oldest daughter, now...
My freest spirit (can you tell?). Majoring in social work. Loves music, concerts, people and the world! And boy-oh-boy is she hard to pin down. She's like a little blur that I have the privilege to glimpse when I'm the luckiest of moms.
And that's where they are now. Thanks for stopping by.
Love the new look of your blog. Your children are just gorgeous. I'm sure just as beautiful on the inside, too.

What a wonderful post! Amazing how much they've grown up!

Wow I thought I knew something about you, but I thought you only had two children. It is great how your children are unique and they are being themselves. I so wanted to be a free spirit myself, but wasn't taught to dream or told I could be me.

Your kids are beautiful. You all are awfully lucky to have each other! But then I think being a mom is the best job in the world.

Children grow so fast don't they. The banner is beautiful, and the sachet is fun.
May God continue to bless your family.

Thank you for sharing a glimpse of your wonderful children now. They sure grow up way too fast. Your timeless scrapbooking books still grace my bookshelves and I refer to them frequently.
Love the new look!

Thanks you so much for posting this update. Mom & I often think about you and the kids. We still remember the days of your scrapbook store and seeing them there. They are beautiful children just as their Mom is inside and out. Do you still scrapbook?

Your kids are gorgeous...thanks again. Oh and I really love your new blog look:)
PS...I bought a bag from you from a woman in Haiti. I was wondering how she weathered the storm. Is she okay?
