I wrote all about how much I loved them even before I knew if they were boy or girl. I continue to write regularly; writing about their accomplishments, their frustrations and always always telling them how much I love them. I've also had my husband write in it and grandparents as well. I hope to give them each their own volume of journals when they're older. It's a very special thing for me just for them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16400555419570849445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-80363733968858338712011-09-05T00:27:25.233-04:002011-09-05T00:27:25.233-04:00A very sweet post with an awesome picture and thou...A very sweet post with an awesome picture and thought. You are doing such a wonderful job of letting your children feel your love and read your words as they are able. I am a journal keeper and I think it is great that you are keeping a journal for your children. <br />Blessing to you and keep enjoying those moments!LeAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107717294803352571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-62484917318262184042011-09-04T22:47:19.100-04:002011-09-04T22:47:19.100-04:00Well, I have my blog and loads and loads of photos...Well, I have my blog and loads and loads of photos.

I've never been a great journal writer, scrapbooker, blogger, or anything like that. I take a whole lotta pictures though, and I loved looking through my old pictures at my grandma's house, just plain little picture books. I'm going to make some for my boys with captions and approx. dates on the back. The problem is sorting through the thousands of pictures... I love your journal idea though! It will help them when they are older to just pick up where you left off!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677860974221886264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-13273984662515673082011-09-04T19:57:38.542-04:002011-09-04T19:57:38.542-04:00I thought it was Asuncion, Paraguay's Temple. ...I thought it was Asuncion, Paraguay's Temple.

I would write down what they did for that day and if they helped me and who we went with if we went anywhere. I still read what I wrote! It's fun to see!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11277430836512815857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-23551660047536097912011-09-04T13:07:39.154-04:002011-09-04T13:07:39.154-04:00since my children are all grown-it takes more effo...since my children are all grown-it takes more effort to reach out.

Of course, I still tell them frequently!<br /><br />;)Susan Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16049586085703324088noreply@blogger.com
