I've been a bad mommy and have been shirking my household and wifely responsibilities because of this. At least Joel will have some nice photo memories to look at down the road. Thank all of you who have left kind comments. I love that I can share the stuff of my creative passsions with you. If you've got any photos of Joel that you think might be nice to scrap with, please send them to me!

Journalling reads:
"It amazes me - you are such a curious little person. You have, on your own, gone and discovered treasures in kitchen drawers and bathroom cabinets. You love to get your fingers into sand and dirt and you are still trying to uncover more secrets in the pantry, even though I must have have told you a hundred times and more not to open that door. You love to look out the window and spot birds and flowers and cars. When I ask, “where’s the bird/fish/duck/turtle?”, you tell me,”there it is!” Your days are full of life, energy and wonder. Keep exploring your world - there is still much to discover and be WOWed about."

PS: Love this picture of you and Joel, Sue-Lee!

Honey, that grilled chicken, sambal kangkong, sambal belachan and chicken tofu thing you made were too delicious! You are not "shirking" any responsibilities at all!!!! You are a multi tasker my friend. Joel gets good food, and good memories down the road!
