Still sugar and spice and everything nice....

If you are looking for this week's Wednesday Hodgepodge questions you'll find them here.

Daughter1 turns a year older today and I thought it would be fun to turn a collection of her birthday photos into a Smilebox. My girls love for me to impress them with my awesome technical skills on their special day and the first step in the process is scanning photos. When they were little digital photography was non-existent and I noticed a few things as I was adding these 'old fashioned' pics to our computer-

1. We've taken a lot of pictures in our lifetime.

2. Correction. A lot of bad pictures.

3. Oh the subject matter is adorable but why didn't we ever pay any attention to what was in the background? You can see my upright vacuum in every single picture taken of Daughter2 during the first week of her life. Was I that set on vacuuming? After giving birth? I am pretty sure I was not.

4. My girls were so cute.

5. Super cute.

6. And sweet.

7. They have had a lot of love in their lives.

8. So many aunts and uncles and grandparents who think they hung the moon and although not a single one lived in our little town (s) while they were growing up there was always a full house around to celebrate special days.

9. Daughter1 has consumed a lot of angel food cake with strawberries and whipped cream on her birthdays thru the years and I have the photos to prove it.

10. I love being a mother and thank God every day for the gift of daughters.

Happy Birthday to my sweet first born...hoping all your wishes come true today and everyday...
