This one is for Grant's first year album and lists all the things he was doing at three months old....yes....I do realize that he is now 3 YEARS old....I am slightly behind......but I try not to let that bother me.
This one is of Grant's Baby Dedication day which also happened to be Mother's Day 2004. Dedicating my babies to God is something very important to me so it was a wonderful day in that aspect but the hidden tag tells the true story. It was a HORRIBLE day. The only time Grant smiled that day was for the pic on the left when we were still at home early that morning. The rest of the day...including while we were up on stage he fussed or cried. Garrett who was only three was uncooperative all day and cried while we tried to take some family photos. I felt VERY fat in my dress and looking back at these photos I realized I was very justified in feeling that way....and to top it all off, Ryan and I got into this awful fight before leaving for church and so I think I cried most of the day.....lol.....anyway....the important thing was Grant's dedication even if I couldn't hear it because he was crying in my ear.
This layout is dedicated to my Mom. She really is a lifeline for me. She has been there for me unconditionally and she is so selfless and giving. I love you Mom!!!!
ok...I think that is enough for now. Thanks for looking!!!!!

Charley, these are gorgeous, as always!
I can see a difference in the dedication photo and now. But you must remember that you'd only given birth a few months earlier...and you'd had quite a beginning with Grant, so losing weight was probably the last thing on your mind. You look like a mom who'd had a kid a few months earlier.
Trials and tribulations are what make us stronger, right????
I love the layout of your mom. Wish I had that kind of relationship with my mom.
Oh Charley - you are not fat girl! I love the story behind that layout - pictures only tell so much - those words are what make it meaningful!
I am loving your new layouts!!!! And I am glad I got to hear the "hidden" story behind the dedication photos! ;) And I can't believe you could EVER call yourself fat...you are crazy!!!!!
just so so beautiful. I love the baby dedication layout.
btw you are not fat.
