Marla's blog #5

Every week I showcase my Wife’s amazing creative skills. On a wall at home we have 12 framed examples of ‘scrap-book pages’. Each page depicts a month in the first year of my daughters life.

Chryistina was born on May the 29th to the first month was May. That confused me when I started looking at the whole years worth of pages Marla had made. you see I recon that June was CJ’s first month (yes I know her first month started in may), and so it confused me when Christmas was depicted in November.

I am selfish.

I am, deep down inside, selfish. I don’t want to be known as selfish, but I think I am.

I told you so! Or not.

The honeydo list for this week will have to wait until tomorrow, his one is too good not to share.

Marla's blog #4

Once a month on a Saturday afternoon, I get sole custody of my little Chrystina.
