Weekend Project

I first posted about our Heirloom Book WAY back in September of last year. It is this really really awesome, HUGE leather bound scrap book of sorts that our friends Andi and Kate got for us as a wedding present. We vowed to fill it with photos and stories from our life as a way to pass down our history to future generations in a fun, creative way. With our move to Nashville I definitely slacked off on updating it with all my best intentions to get pictures printed being wiped away by other responsibilities. Last week I got some photos printed for a project at work at saw that Walgreens was running a deal on 4x6 prints, so I knew that this was my time to bite the bullet and get it done. I now have us all caught up from last November through June, with most of July's photos printed as well and I am SOOO thrilled to see these pages full of great memories. We're slowly writing in captions and stories and my heart is bursting to know that one day our children will get a chance to look at these photos and laugh with us about how silly we were. If you're having trouble understanding how INCREDIBLY large this book is, be sure to click the link above and look down at the last picture of Keith writing in it... it truly takes up our whole coffee table now haha. We love it and are so thankful for this thoughtful gift.

I think it's safe to say that this is WAY more fun that your average photo album...

Photoshoot

We did a little photoshoot on Sunday with the new addition to our family, Marty. We're actually going to leave tonight after Keith gets off work for a roadtrip down to DC to hang with our awesome friends Andi and Kate and to pick up some wedding gifts they graciously brought with them from Florida. We're pretty excited for our first roadtrip in the new car, at least we know that we can safely make it all the way there... unlike the last time we drove south haha






And HERE is the amazing wedding gift that Andi and Katelyn got for us... it is probably the largest book I've ever held and it weighs enough to make it quite a workout to pick up haha. We are SOOOOOOO excited to fill this with bits and pieces of our everyday life. We started it out this weekend with some pictures of the wedding and honeymoon, and with the story of our car dying (we just happened to receive this gift that weekend, so we felt it was necessary to document). Anyway, the thing that I'm most excited for is having this book for the rest of our lives and being able to share all this pictures and stories with our future children and grandchildren.



Theo loves it too haha


I just love how preposterous it looks when someone is writing in it. Sooooooo big haha
