Right before your eyes you end up with a six year-old...really. I remember the day this little baby came into my life and helped me change all of the perceptions I had of life. She was little and pink and sweet. She needed me so badly and I soon realized how much I needed her. Today, she is six and I just barely remember exactly what she looked like when she was a baby and how she sounded when she was three. So, I took out the home videos and reminded myself last night. It was fun to listen to her, look at her, and watch her grow along the way. I noticed similarities between Lily and Shelly that I never realized before. I love my pictures, my video, and most of all my life. That's why I scrapbook and obsess over photos. Because, I want to have great memories that will always exist. That is what my mother and father did for me and I can't wait for my girls to sit down one day and laugh at the fun they had when they were younger. To look at the pictures and remember. To read the words and better understand their lives. I don't want to pass up these moments or regret losing them because my memory has faded. I love pictures and I'm proud of it!!!
