So I am a total amateur at this scrap booking thing. I did one for the wedding album and that turned out very well, I figure she may get one for her whole first year and then mostly we will use photo albums. So a certain someone should not be terrified at the thought of boxes of stickers and labels appearing along with pretty paper and run screaming from the room. Some of the other moms had clearly paid way more attention in crafts class at camp than me, but I worked hard earlier to get someone to extend her little fingers and attempt to get a trace of them before they resumed partially closed fist position. The little fingers and toes are just amazing to me, fully formed, with nails, and sooo tiny. The hospital took footprints at birth but the baby book has space for hand prints too and they are cute and small but especially when you can compare them to our hands. I figure the cut outs are easier then trying to get ink off her hands.

We LOVE your hands! Great job! Marion will be thrilled to keep this in years to come (along with her woodworking treasures). I once saw a generational quilt with all sizes and shapes of young and old family hands. It was very moving.
ReplyDeleteI saw something today that I thought was touching. It said:
"First we had each other, then we had you, now we have everything".
Great-great uncle Bruce joins me in sending our love to all three of you.

Y'all are so creative! I love Marion's precious little hands. You could trace them every year on her birthday as a "handy" way to keep track of how much she's grown. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Sumner Trio is in my prayers every day. My Bible Study group is also praying for Marion's immune system to grow stronger each day and for her numbers to continue improving.
By the way, I want to see your wedding scrapbook sometime!
That is excellent. And I'm impressed that you managed to get Marion's hands unclenched; I don't think Naomi unclenched hers for months.
