I've been finishing up our 2012 yearly book....I can't wait to hold it and see it in print.
This year's book was a lot like our 2007 book. It has SO MANY pages and pages of pictures and stories.
It is full of deployment pictures, pictures Jerome has taken over in Afghanistan of his life over there, pictures of us here at home that we sent him to give him a little piece of home, pictures of all the surprise homecomings and then the wonderful everyday things in our life.

It has taken me a while to finish it but I am finally down to two pages left to finish it up and then send it in for printing.
I plan to do every year this way, a book to look back and read the stories that are easily forgotten with age.
I also plan on making each of the kids a yearly book of their first five years, order two copies, and save the extra copies for when they someday marry....it will be a bridal shower gift.
Memories to take with them on their new journey in life.

{ our book. }
I finished this book from Blurb over a year ago and always meant to post
some pictures of how wonderful it is. I have since started on our 2008
family book and am almost finished (I'm up to Halloween 2008) and
cannot wait to order another. Although 2007 will probably be our largest
book printed seeing that is the year Jerome was deployed to Afghanistan
and I did a whole LOT of picture taking to keep him feeling a little
closer to the kids and to home.
I love this book. I love how it turned out and that I can open it up, look back and read our memories from that year. To me it is a priceless keepsake.
