Hello Friends,
Tonight's post is a departure from card-making. A week or so ago my little boy Tim said to me, "Mommy, why don't you ever take pictures anymore? And why don't you make scrapbook pages for me anymore?". My heart almost broke as I realized after talking with him a little that he misses my taking our special family moments and putting them down on paper with my little notes and thoughts. I used to do this often from Tim's birth right up until Stuart became so ill and my time and energy were needed so much elsewhere.
So I have made an effort to start taking photos again. A few here and there to record our lives as they continue to go on. And tonight I took some of our photos from "Halloween-time" and made a scrapbook page. The photos are of Tim and I picking out our pumpkins for "Jack-o-lantern carving night 2012" which is a tradition in our home usually occurring the Sunday afternoon before the big day.
This year was our first Halloween without Stuart. He was always very excited to carve a scary pumpkin each year and we always took pictures in our kitchen as we happily created our Jack and Jill-o-lanterns. I have many memorable moments of our Halloween's together including these photos from 2010...
Anyway....here is the page I made tonight...not my best work but I do like the photos I took a couple Saturday's ago....including a self-portrait of Tim and I that I took by holding the camera out in front of us.

I caught Tim in mid-flight by having him jump on our bed! Then I added the caption and sent this to both Grandparents!
