Although I love scrapbooks, I don't always seem to get them completed. Example: I started a scrapbook for Coco, and it's stuck on when she was 2 months old. So, I wanted to have realistic solution to give Ali a scrapbook. I have started a book for her that details her family background, talks about my pregnancy and the delivery and then goes through her first year and her "firsts." It's a really cool book with pre=printed pages, but it's stuck on December. I do plan to get that book updated this month though, and I just have to finish it through this October. In addition to that book, I plan to have this blog turned into a book each year so Ali will have a more detailed scrapbook. Most of the posts in this blog are about our family, but from time to time, I will put some news information so we can document what is going on during her life now.
Last weekend was a busy weekend both personally and in world news. The weekend started off with The Royal Wedding on Friday morning! Thank goodness for modern DVR technology, I chose to record the wedding instead of waking up at 4am to watch it. Since Todd was out of town Friday night, I was able to come home and watch the wedding before he came home. I absolutely loved watching the real life fairy tale come true as Kate Middleton married her Prince William. I can't lie... I'm so looking forward to helping Ali plan her wedding! Todd tells me I need to slow down... ha!
Speaking of slowing down... everyone told us that having a baby would slow us down. I have to say, we may have slowed down a bit, but I don't think we've slowed down as much as others expected. Someone once told me that when they had a baby, they chose to bring the baby into their life instead of changing their lives to accommodate their new baby. Although I think it's impossible to not make some changes to your life after having a baby, we've tried really hard to continue living our lives with Ali. Luckily for us and for her, she's a portable flexible, happy baby. Saturday morning, we had Ali's 6 month photo shoot with Zack of ZT Photography, dinner with friends Saturday night, brunch with friends Sunday morning and then dinner with another group of friends Sunday night. It was a busy but fun weekend. Here is a sneak preview from her 6 month photo shoot!
We ended our weekend with the announcement from President Obama that Osama Bin Laden had been killed by US Navy Seals. Although I choose not to celebrate anyone's death, I will say that I am relieved that we have somewhat of an ending to the tragic terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. May 1, 2011 will forever be an important day in American history.
