Oh yes, I'm catching up! Look at me go.
This week was all about my dad visiting. I love my dad. I love my mom too (she's the best!). But I've always been a daddy's girl. I miss having him around now that we live so far away and it's a little harder for him to have time off to visit then my mom, so the time he gets to spend with us is precious. We had a lot of fun with him. I especially liked to see him with Violet. Our trip to Home Depot reminded me of the many trips I made to Home Depot (his favorite store) when I was growing up. So bored going down every isle! Haha. And our little hike reminded me of the many camping/hunting trips I went on with him when I was younger too. He is a great dad, he was very protective and I always felt safe with him. (I could say so much more about him.) I decided to include some of those little memories on these pages. I want my kids to know who their grandparents are and what they meant to me. I would love to know more about my grandparents then I do.
I think a lot of times when I am putting these pages together, that is what I consider. If this was me as a child, what would I want to know about these pictures? And that is what I try to include. Sometimes it feels like I can't fit all of what I want to say in these pages but I also have to remind myself that if I put too much in it will be overwhelming and probably never get read. I try to find the balance.
Anyway, here are my pages for this week. I used mostly the Clementine Edition and a couple cards from the Bridgeport Childhood Edition. Check my Pinterest board for links to everything.
