Lists

I have a bunch of lists (mostly in my head – must remedy that!) for things that I will do during my second trimester burst of energy.  I’m hoping that it comes, because I have a lot of things on my lists.  I’m also hoping that my lists use the burst of energy, because here’s what I did in my second trimesters of previous pregnancies:  moved, redid the kitchen, and moved.  Umm…yeah…I’m hoping that major remodels can be avoided this pregnancy, and we’re definitely hoping to stay in our current house. 

I realized, though, that one of the list items was something that I could easily do while sitting on the couch, which makes it a much better project for NOW than later, since second trimester is not, historically, when I spend a lot of time on the couch.  This item is updating Naomi and Simeon’s little photo books.  I got sets of 3 small photo books for each of the kids, with a book for newborn, first year, and toddler.  Hannah’s are all done.  Naomi’s were almost done.  Simeon’s were…started.  SO…I began going through photos (ah! digital photos on the computer!) and selecting the ones to finish Naomi and Sim’s books.  And there were some darn cute pictures.  Here’s a small sampling (and you should be able to click on the picture to see it bigger):

I can remember spending lots of good times looking through photo albums when I was a little girl, and I still love to look through photos.  I’m more motivated now to get them into a format that the kids can get to easily, because they love it, too.  It’s good to have the reminder that they were once darling pudgy little things with no hair.
