My niece will turning one this Friday. I'm still wondering where the time has gone. It's even harder because we're so far away. I've only seen her on three trips. Poor Justin just met her over Christmas break. We're missing so many of the day-to-day things: her first words, her first steps, and all of her little quirks. It makes me sad.
For her birthday I decided to start an album for her. It will be pictures of her with Justin & I. My hope is that when she gets a little older, she'll pull it out and flip through the pages whenever she has an urge to see her. I hope she looks through it and knows how much we love her, no matter how far away we are. So, I spent the evening (and most of the night) putting together some pages to start the album. Every once in a while I'll make two more and send them down so Jay & Natalie can add them to the album.
Here are some pics:
This is the first page and has a note for Bella. (I have a thing for these cute owls!)
I hope you enjoyed! I also made some Mother's Day cards yesterday, but I won't be posting pics of those. :)

Such a great idea and thoughtful gift that can be kept forever! I love scrapbooking. But I always feel guilty about the amount of money I'm capable of spending on paper and stickers! Happy Birthday Bella!
