For the past few years I've made a little scrapbook for Emme's biological grandma for Christmas with pictures of Emme from each month of that year. This year I decided to go digital and I got this idea to make it into a calendar. I did January and February, then I found these calendar templates by Karen Lewis, one of the digi-scrap designers who makes a lot of the kits I use in my blogs. I decided a template would be MUCH easier, so I switched. I did use traditional scrapbooking on the cover though. And I actually had it done in time for Christmas....but I still haven't sent it (I'm so sorry Sandy!) -- hopefully tomorrow.
THat is so adorable. How sweet of you to still do things to make her know her grandparents. You're such a good mom! I love that calendar, it's darling. You're so domestic, oh how I wish you were close to teach me all you know about digital scrapbooking. Maybe then I might like it.
I wonder if Sandy knows just how nice you are being to her? That is surely a nice thing you are doing and of course your reward is coming in the future from Heavenly Father. I love the calendar. Emme is adorable. It is so great that she is a part of your family.
Cute! I love this, you should have let me see sooner, that would have been a great idea for grandparents! You still have to teach me how to do this kind of stuff!
You did a great job! I like the calendar idea. At first I thought it was going to be daily pictures. A calendar that is daily. It would have been alot of work. How is the house coming?

4/28/11 -- My Aunt Natalie's funeral was today and Camden asked several questions about death throughout the day. Tonight I told him he could watch TV but not play video games, and he said "Because it's one of those funeral days?"
5/17/11 -- Camden coloring with markers: "Mom, the blue doesn't work because some kind of kid left it open."
5/18/11 -- Camden: "Mom, I love you. I love you more than ice cream."
5/27/11 -- Eating lunch at Canton City Camden says "Mom, I love ice cream, but sometimes it gives me brain freeze -- do you get brain freeze?" Me: "Sometimes, but I never got it when I was little." Camden: "Because you didn't have brains?"
5/31/11 -- Emme was playing with my eyelash curler and Camden walked in and asked: "Are you pretending to be pretty?"
5/31/11 -- Tristen said Jarek looked Chinese. I explained that it was a genetic impossibility. Then Tristen said "Well, maybe there are just so many Chinese people that God throws the extras to the Mormons."
7/11 -- A couple of days after we got our male baby goat I asked Camden if he wanted to hold him. He said he had held him before, so I asked him when. He said "A few years ago."
8/2/11 -- Camden: "What do you call a fly if you pull it's wings off?"
8/3/11 -- Jarek: "Are you going somewhere Mom?" (A VERY common question for him to ask.) Me: Yeah, I'm going to Vernal." Jarek: "And you're wearing that?"
8/31/11 -- Jarek, comparing two desserts at Cafe Rio: "They taste pretty much the same except for the flavor."
9/1/11 -- Camden, as we walked by a mens baseball team practicing: "Look Mom, they're playing t-ball."
9/20/11 -- "What is that horrible noise?" Camden's reaction when Jarek started practicing his trumpet.
11/3/11 -- Emme: "Camden, I think your fish is dead." Camden: "NO IT'S NOT, it's just laying down!"
That is really cute Ragan! Emme is such a cutie and she's so lucky to have a great family.
