Thank You to My Big Sister

As I post my 200th post today, I have to say a big thank you to my big sister who inspired me to continue with my blog after a rather long stagnant period. I couldn't seem to get excited to blog anymore when Marika gave me a gift for my birthday that was all of the entries of my blog to that date in book form. I have paged through that book more times than I can count since then and have really appreciated the thoughtfulness of that gift. I make each of the kids a scrapbook each year for Christmas and after that I just don't have the energy to make any for Keith and I so this is a great way to capture memories for us. My plan is to make a book each year of my blog and that will be my "scrapbook" and journal all in one.

Thanks, Marika. As always you have a great skill of finding meaningful gifts that are perfect.
