Blueberry Face

It's what happens when you eat blueberries and play peek-a-boo at the same time.

Blackberries

"Babies and nature are good for the soul." ~Aunt V

Liza loves blackberries, especially right off the bush! The juice dribbled off her chin and onto the Ergo, leaving a purpley stain that would have annoyed me before becoming a mama. Ahh, my perfectionist self is finally giving way. Every time I put on the Ergo, I see that spot and am transported back to the rows of lush green leaves, plump juicy fruit, and a little girl tasting blackberries for the very first time.

It was a delicious day beginning in the sunshine amongst the blackberry bushes and ending in the kitchen eating this warm from the oven.

A Week in the Life

Other than the pictures and words on this blog, I haven't been keeping a scrapbook for Liza. I have a couple of small albums, one tells the story of her birth and the other my mom and sister put together of her first 6 months of life. I'd like to be one of those moms who makes a book detailing the events of each year of her life, but the reality is that I don't have the time or patience for that kind of undertaking. When I read about Ali's "Week in the Life" project, though, I knew I was capable of that. I spent the week of April 18-25 documenting our lives in pictures. Last week I placed all the pictures in a digital scrapbook. Tonight, I finished the words. I can't wait to get the hard copy into my hands, and I hope to do this project once a year for the foreseeable future. Hope you enJOY the peek at all the little things that are us in 2010.
