Taking a fun look back

Every once in a while I get a kick in the pants to be creative. I used to scrapbook but once the little man came along, it had to be put on hold. In planning for Lucas' second birthday (GASP!), I thought it would be fun to do a scrapbook of his last year, from his last birthday to August 2009. I picture our families looking at it and being amazed at how much he has grow. It has been so much fun pulling out old pictures and seeing how much he has changed and all the fun memories I have of us as a family. I have gotten a lot done so far-I am working on cropping the pictures from May, but I have the pages from August 2008 to April 2009 all laid out and glued-I just need to write the narrative.

The sad thing is that there aren't that many pictures of Marc's family with Lucas. There are lots and lots of pictures with my family. I wonder if they will notice that and maybe change the way they interact with Lucas. I can't force it but it seems like such a shame that they give so much of their energy and time to my sister in law's two boys, who lives less than a mile from us.
