Disneyland for Alexis' birthday near Thanksgiving!




All of us, a rarity in one photo -- and my three miracles -- the other photos are classic D'landian.

Alexis' baby book

Just sharing photos of Alexis' baby book -- the company is called "The Story of Me" as is easily customized with inserts you can purchse for adoption, twins and more. I did make a new cover and using the original as a pattern was easy if you sew. The originals do give you several choices but I had a fabric in mind. I used the adoption inserts (including "starting the process", "finalization" and more, which was my whole dilemma 'cause I couldn't find what I wanted in a looseleaf design -- and added photography pages as well. The pps are colorful and provide good prompts to get you thinking.
