There are no words













Well actually, there's a whole book of them. My words. My thoughts. My heart. My blog.

Brought together, bound and wrapped in a bow.

I bawled my eyes out this morning.
Simply the best mother's day gift ever.

I am so blessed by Scott and all that he does for me. It was such an act of love, to put all of these memories, our memories, together for me to hold. A tangible depiction of our journey into parenthood.

Simply amazing. And I am overwhelmed.

Scott used blurb. It's affordable and the quality is awesome.

Awwww... how cute is this! I had heard about blurb a while back and its such a great website. Scott did REALLY good for your first mother's day. That book is beautiful and of course all your amazing photography has just made it more beautiful. :-) I'm sure reading your old posts in print feels so much more different than reading it on the computer. Kind of surreal, huh?

Amy said...

Okay, I've looked at your blog for awhile now, but I'm finally going to comment...

WOW! That is amazing. I am so impressed and I am inspired. It makes me want to go back and post more so that I don't miss anything. It makes me realize that I don't have to scrapbook (something I hate) to have wonderful, beautiful memories.

Nathan and Nicole said...

AWESOME! Scott totally scored points not only with you, but with the whole blogging world :)

I LOVE this idea! I think it might be the same sight I posted about a while ago. If not, I'm using this one, because the quality of that book looks incredible!

Olive Oyl said...

Beautiful book! It is gorgeous! Great job sCottie!

Scott defintely takes the cake on this year's Mother's Day best gift.

He totally gets the "bestie" award for best gift ever.

Just please don't tell my hubby, he might be depressed for the rest of the year. :)

True friends recognize your passions. And what better friend could you ask for than your husband. I love your blog and I love that they've been captured in a priceless way. What a thoughtful gift!

Um, that is quite possibly the BEST mother's day gift I have ever seen! How did he do that without you knowing? That is amazing. So beautiful. You are truly blessed with a wonderful husband. You deserve it too as you are an amazing wife and mother. Thanks for sharing this Lorie. I love you! Did you get my message on Friday?
