journals

Here are the pictures I "pushed" onto my children. :)  I had intended them to be a Christmas gift but they came late.  I was going to save them for Valentine's Day but then thought I would make it a New Years tradition-- to give them each a new journal for that year with a picture I took for them.  The roots picture is one that my middle son loves and always comments on when he sees it on my computer.  My daughter loves flowers- especially pink one.  I feel a little bad about my picture choice for my oldest-- he doesn't love barbed wire.  :) but-- he was in the car yelling, "Moooommmmm hurry up" when I was pulled over taking that picture one morning on the way to school! :) At the time, it was all I could think of but now I have thought of a few that I think he would resonate with better.  They were on my other hard drive but I wish I would have taken the time to get it.  I think he would have like the sand patterns I took in Hilton Head or the lone seagull on the shore.  Anyway, I like this idea and plan to continue it.  Kate's is lined inside and the boys have blank pages so they can draw or write.
