four generations

I am proud to say that I take after my mom in many ways. When I was younger I am sure I thought, "I will never do that when I have kids." Like, my poor kids would be able to have more then two cookies, there is nothing wrong with that!
Well, then I grew up and had kids. Man, I am a lot like my mom after all. I guess she knew more then I thought.
I must admit that I was a much better mom before I had kids! I had all the right answers. My kids would never go into a store with a dirty face. My kids would never have a binky, and they surely would NEVER have a binky until they were 2 1/2 years old! Like I said, I was a much better mom before I had kids.
So, back to my main point...
Something my Mom does that I have taken from her is putting pictures in books that you will keep and eventually look at again. I put them in my Chicken Soup For The Soul books that I love. Apparently I also put some into one of Chris' Harry Potter books also.
Last week when he took it off the shelf in the basement he came across an envelope that had these pictures in it....

Here is Chris and Connor when Connor was just two years old.

This is a picture of my nephew Isaac and Maggie that my sister-in-law took and edited. I wanna guess that Maggie was just over 1 and Isaac was about 7 months old.

And this is my favorite one that was found. It has four generations of us women in it! My grandmother, mom, me and my girls! Wow! I just love it.

So, I recommend that you do this. Tuck away a favorite picture in a keeper of a book so that when you take that book out to look at you will be struck with amazing memories. It is sure to warm your heart and put a smile on your face!
