HAPPY BIRTHDAY

JOHN

My hubby is another year closer to the big 4-0 today...lol...

We are not in the mood for a big celebration so we are hanging out with Josh and Teagan. :)

So I was thinking today I am so grateful that I found this obsession called scrapbooking...we may have only had Rani for a short time but I have so many fantastic photos of her. I didn't know about scrapping when the other two were little so don't have as many photos. BUT one this I am upset about is we only have 1 family photo of all 5 of us. I hated the photo...more because of the colours, where we were, face expressions...of course now I love it, even though it is blurry. So make sure all you photographers come out from behind the camera and take family photos...or photos of you with you kiddies...my other regret...I spent way to much time behind the camera. :(

Sending Birthday wishes to John. Enjoy a lovely quiet day :) I am in 100% agreeance with you about family photos and being behind the camera too much - I keep saying to myself we must get more of all of us - and yet I never seem to.
Love ya

Mel, oh so true how many times do we all say that, there is always 1 missing due to taking the photos....
Chrissy has the right idea the timer thing.

More of the family thats for sure.

Oh love I've just been over at the gallery tonight, looking at all those beautiful LOs of your little girl and now I come here and read your post and I couldn't agree more. Scrapping your angel is such a precious gift, one that I'm so grateful that you share with us all.

Happy birthday to John! :-)

Love ya sweetie!

Happy Birthday John!

I think we all need to learn how to use the self timer on our cameras and the purchase of those little tripods is not a bad idea either.

Mel,

Yes you are certainly right about the photos!! But I'm the one always behind the camera too! Perhaps that is something that I could do today make a effort and learn how to use the self timer!

THinking of you all, and I still come back to check on your BLOG all the times.

Oh Mel I was thinking the same thing about you being a scrapping Mum. I'm so very sorry that Rani is not with you but it is comforting to know that your memories of her will always be fresh. God bless you all and Happy Birthday to John.
Love Susan
