*Wordful Wednesday is for those of us that like to showcase a photo(s) but that just can’t seem keep our mouths shut about it (them). If you’d like to play along, post a photo {or more if you are so inclined} on your blog, and let the words roll.

MINE

Sometimes I look at my family and my breath literally catches.

I can’t believe that in a manner of speaking, they belong to me.

I birthed those children. I married that man.

I really am blessed beyond measure or lucky beyond belief.

P.S. I’m giving away a bunch of scrap booking stuff this week!

Memory Mixer software and album $75

PremadeHandmade card kit and die set $50

*Shey* [B] Camera Strap Slipcover Certificate $20

Just tonight, I sat in bed with my daugther (who is now almost eleven) and we talked for about an hour… just about stuff. After I got back downstairs, I thought to myself, “I wonder how many more years of that I’ll get to do.” I hope many.

Loved this post.

Genny

Happy WW!
Joe.

Here’s to enjoying our beautiful families!
