Carrie, I bet you posted while they were moving it and the comments got lost. Glad you got to "meet" my Baby! She's a hoot! For some reason, though, there are plants that she loves to chew. She will stick her head in the pond to get the pots of umbrella plant, then take the plant out of the pot and chew them. She makes it very difficult to have a small water garden! I love her anyway, but all my water gardens have to be Baby-proofed (thanks to Mike for protecting my ponds!).

He sure will think you're his mother when he opens his eyes. You'll have a friend for life...I agree the colostrum is very impotant for his immunity but with your excellent care, he'll make it.

I am so glad, Sue, I know everyone will enjoy it! Funny you mention the cost. When I first embarked on this, I was thinking it will be a big impact present where the gift is our time not the cost. Yikes, even with the 50% off, each book was $200 OMG. I didn't really expect that, but after all the work putting it together, I wasn't going to go back and trim. I may regret making them so large, 11x14, but I know i usually like photos to be bigger. I also fell for that very pricey for that "lay flat" upgrade that allow you to do those "centerfold" shots. Heck, i actually fell for every type of upgrade they offered, including a storage box. And then I have the engraved USBs and those boxes. But oh they will be so pretty. I actually went with this one because I liked the idea of putting a photo with it. They also have them in navy, grey, and Tiffany blue. I was upset that I had to switch my product to Shutterfly, but I have to give them a big shout out. They have added so many features to their books, and so many options for designing them. Plus, they still had my photos on there from 2005, though I had not done business w them in years. In some cases, they were photos i did not find anywhere else in my files. Whew. One of the best parts of making the book was doing the captions, and adding in things like scans of their footprints, their baby announcements, etc. I also commissioned DH to write a letter to each of them talking about the day they were born and their first few years. He did a wonderful job, brought tears to my eyes and made me laugh, too. We finished yesterday. Finally. Annie - love that tree! we do have a few photo ornaments, but a whole tree! Fab Running - Even from book 1 to book 3 i got better at it and fancier. There are soooooo many options and embellishments and features. And if you have the right dates on your photos, the autofill feature is a great start. Enjoy!

Love to see this! Africa, huh? WHERE in Africa? (More shots first?) IME, 24 is pretty grown up for a gal. Our DS was still coasting until 28. Thank goodness for his choice of marriage to someone willing to do the 'finishing'. (Tomorrow he'll be 50.) An adventure not to be missed.
