Here is the Survivor scrapbook I made for my Grandmother. It was wrapped in breast cancer ribbon paper, and tied with a pink bow. She thought it was too pretty to open to she sat with it in her lap for a while before opening it :-) These aren't all the pages, but a good majority of them. I hope you like it. Now bad for my first attempt.

As some of you have already noticed and commented on, I have updated some of the photos on this site for the new year. My friend, Lori, of Each Day Wiser, graciously took our photo for our holiday cards. She also took several others (about 140- total!) I have put a few of my favorites on here already, including the picture at the very bottom of the page.....go ahead, scroll down. I'll wait..... the photo of Mr. H and I to the right, the picture of Autumn, and the picture of the two empty chairs in the corn field, that symbolizes my boys, Sam and Jack.
Thank you Lori for your time, your effort and your great talent. We love the pictures and are so pleased you captured us all as a family.

I also loved the one of your mom and grandma together in black and white, the look on your mom's face says it all - such a sweet photo. and ofcourse, i loved the one of you, your mom and grandma all laughing. this is great. what a beautiful and job well done. i'm sure your grandma was touched, especially after she resisted the urge to keep staring at the pretty box and decided to tear into it!
