Abby and Billy

Journaling: Abby loves her cousin, Billy. She was very sad when she found out he was moving to Florida. Aunt Becky caught this adorable picture of them hugging their good-byes. The following Tuesday, Abby made a book about her cousin Billy. Being in Kindergarten, she still writes everything phonetically so I have translated below each picture.

Little Cutie

Journaling: Traveling in the back of th car with Billy was a treat. He turned on the smiles and I pulled out the camera!!

Billy's First Birthday

Here are a few pages from Billy's 1st Birthday party. I have more cute picts so I'm sure there will be more scrapbook pages to come.

Journaling: "One year old is so many things. A tiny discoverer of butterfly wings. A hugger of teddies, a sweet sleepyhead, and someone to dream for in bright years ahead."


Journaling: "Hold them and kiss them, gently in your arms, pamper them forever, spoil them with your charm."
