If you follow Caitlyn's blog too, you know that I haven't had access to my lap top to do scrap booking. Well, I got my new cord, and I'm in buisness again!! This is my page from today...Another attempt at a poem for my sweet girl. Enjoy

Just realized I forgot to share Caitlyn's birthday page with everyone! It's simple and to the point...My baby isn't a baby anymore! She starts preschool next month!
What I love the most about scrapbooking is that I can take these trips down memory lane. I love being able to see how much my baby has grown up! When these pictures were taken, Caitlyn had a cold...This "cold" last through the end of April when she was finally given antibiotics to kill a sinus infection...She was also thought to have asthma. Now we wonder was it asthma or just Rett breathing.

This is from our trip to the zoo. We went down to Portland for a Rett Syndrome Conference. There is more of an update on Caitlyn's blog site, caitlynsfamily.blogspot.com We had a really good time. The zoo was great! I think this ape picture is the only point that Caitlyn really cared about. She literally reached out to the ape that was just sitting there staring at her! It was really a touching moment!

A true angel. I love absolutely everything about my girl. She has brought so much change in my life, most of all she has brought on a sense of happiness that I couldn't have found anywhere else. She is so precious!

Happy Saturday! Here is another page! We are cutting back, so no more cable! Not a big deal, it just means more computer time to keep me busy! Look at those chubby cheeks!! This was before Caitlyn got pretty sick in the early months of 2005! What a sweet little girl!!

Caitlyn went to grandma's house today, so I was busy at work! I am having fun being able to do something nice with the pictures that I have of her! What an angel she is!!!

Yesterday I started scanning some pictures to work with. This one is Caitlyn and my mom when Caitlyn was just 2 weeks old! I'm so happy I started doing this! Thanks Stephanie for getting me started!!!

Adah Kirk was one of the most amazing people I knew growing up. She taught Sunday school, and VBS up until just a few years before she passed away. She was in a bowling league until she was 94! She was so sweet. I am glad that she had the opportunity to meet Caitlyn before passing away. I only wish she could have been around to watch Caitlyn grow up. She was a really great person!!

New glasses! I can't believe how fast my girl is growing up!! Doesn't she look beautiful in her new glasses? What a sweet girl...So good and full of joy!

A rose is just a rose...I took the picture in the upper left and played around with the rest...It was so much fun to do!!! enjoy!

This was fun! Caitlyn really loves her Kix in the morning!!! The pictures doesn't really show what she does...Eric puts the Kix on the shelf infront of our fish tank. As Caitlyn goes to grab some, she ends up wiping most of them on the floor. Some days she simply sits herself in the middle of them, and eats. (don't worry, the floor is clean) She now knows the box and gets excited to just see it!

Well, we are back from our weekend away. It was fun. Would you believe these are the only two pictures I took of Caitlyn? I took some of my niece tho. We were in Spokane for her 1st birthday! I can't believe it's been a year...Even more so I still can't believe that my Caitlyn will be 3 in less that 3 weeks! My how she's grown!

As I promised, here are the pictures from Caitlyn's hydro-therapy. She really does enjoy the water! Well, I'm gone for the weekend! I hope to have pictures from the weekend to work with! I really am enjoying this! It truly is therapeutic! And thanks to all of the digital scrapbook designers that have free downloads so that I can show pictures of my angel in a beautiful way!


A poem for Caitlyn...When my daughter is asleep, it's the only time that she can be found in true peace...Her involuntary hand movements stop, and she lays there sound asleep looking like a true Angel. I am having so much fun taking pictures of her and playing with what I can do! I took some pictures today of her during hydrotherapy...There will be a page soon to come with them...

A tribute to being normal! What a wonderful time we had playing yesterday. Caitlyn loves to play just like any other kid getting ready to turn 3!!!

This is my tribute to Toby. He left to go live with his new family today. I'm sure that he is happy, but I do miss him dearly. We will get another dog some day. We just don't have the funds right now. I hope he makes his new family as happy as he has us. We love you Toby!!


I just wanted to do something special for my husband. Caitlyn truly is a daddy's girl by all means! Their bond and relationship is something else. I'm so glad he is one of those active daddy's that is always there rather than the kind that just live under the same roof.

Forever Innocent...Wouldn't that be the life. My daughter truely is...This is my new favorite page...I think I will also post it on her web page. (Girls with Rett Syndrome are frequently called Silent Angels because of their inability to talk.) A princess she is!

This was my first real project! I followed the instructions I found on another site! It was a lot of fun, tho a little frusterating! It took me all night to figure out how to cut the pictures to fit in the frame, but I figured it out!!! I learned a lot from doing this page!



This page I did just for the heck of it. I'm just playing around to get the hang of it all! But I'm sure having fun!!!

This was my very first page. I had figured out the papers for the background and such...but that's about it

I decided to start scrap booking to keep myself busy! I figure if I have something to do in the evenings, I wouldn't snack as much! And So then I decided to show my work here! I did one other page, but can't show it here, as it is a gift for someone!
