(click to make picture bigger.)Ok, how ADORABLE are these kids?! I love those big pictures on the left side. My mom did a great job getting the kids to sit still and to smile. Do you know how hard it is to get a 26 month old and a 15 month old to smile?
I love scrapbooking so much. I wish I could do it all day long. I've been working on this layout for two days, because I just couldn't get it right. I finally finished it at like 11 last night. 10 pictures on a 2 page 8.5x11 inch layout is a lot, and I just couldn't get it to flow. But I think I like what I ended up with, and I even like the color combo -- which some would say shouldn't be used together. I like it, though, and hey -- it's my book. I can do whatever the hell I want. ;o)
In case you can't read it, the journaling says:
Nana Linda started watching Zoe Grace along with Jake last January when Zoe was 5 months old. Jake is 11 months older than Zoe -- her birthday is Aug. 17th, 2003 (Jake's is Sept. 12th, 2002.) Playing together 3 or 4 days of every week while their mommys are at work has been good for both of them. Zoe's still a *DIVA* and Jake is still a tyrant, but both less so than they would be spending the days without a friend to play with. Nov. 2004 * Jake 26 months old * Zoe 15 months old.
P.S. don't forget to read previous entry, Jake's 26th month
That's a neat LO, Jen. I really wish I could sit down and flip through all your work. Someday, Jake will know how cool it is that his life was so well documented. And isn't it cool to think that his scrapbooks could become family heirlooms?! :-)

they had BETTER become family heirlooms! That's why Jake needs to have lots of kids -- I need someone to appreciate all my effort! ha ha, just kidding. Thank you for your compliments. Tell you what -- someday when I come to visit you and Kelly, I will bring my scrapbooks with me. ;o)
