Momma's Helper

After sweeping our foyer and kitchen I propped the broom against the wall to do something else. Turned around and saw I had some help.




Love that look of concentration in that last one. She loves to help me. When I unload the dishwasher, she really likes to help me with the silverware. She'll take out each piece one at a time and say "tank you" as I take each piece. She's also recently started taking our dirty clothes and putting them in the hamper for us. I'm going to enjoy every minute of it because I know a day will come that she won't like to help out.

Last night I worked on a couple of pages, and I am so in love with this page of John and Natalie. I know most dad's adore their daughters, but I am constantly amazed over the relationship John and Natalie have. Especially since he was so sure he DIDN'T want a girl before we had any kids. He loves her so much and I can't help but love him even more for it.

Anyway, used some prompts from a couple of challenges to get the idea for this one. This week's word is "Grow", and at Dixie Pieces there is a color combo challenge going on to use only black and white with a splash of "1" other color.

Also really trying to use up some older supplies I have on hand. So I used some older KI Memories paper for this one.

You are right... Treasure every minute with them while they are little. I am learning that lesson while we celebrate Caleb Davis' 3rd birthday this week.
