Memories of my Water Baby!

Okay - the sleet is picking up here. The weather has been really messy all day long. And we're being told it hasn't even begun, yet.

Bad weather just gives me the perfect excuse for playing with another layout. What the heck... it's no different than when the guys use bar-b-queing for an excuse to sit around with a beer in a hand and gab with each other all night long!

This time - my victim was my youngest daughter, Jennifer. And where She is concerned - i haven't even begun to get a good bite into Her, yet! i have a box of photos that are just screaming for somebody to let 'em out!



The journaling reads:

You loved water from the day you were born. To this day – there are only two scenarios that don’t hold Your interest when it comes to water – washing Your car – and washing the laundry. Go figure!

It was always fun to watch the funny expressions show up on the faces of cashiers at McDonalds. They'd ask You what You wanted to drink with Your Happy Meal. Your answer was always – "Water, please."


That was always Your choice of drink - wherever we went to eat – until Kindergarten. You began school and discovered kids could be picky. Those same kids became Your friends. And You wanted to be just like Your friends. In no time at all – sweet peas were out. Water took second in choice of drink. And You began to grow in – different ways.


When You were three years old, i loved watching You play in Your little kiddy pool out in the front yard at Great-Grandma Casteel's house. Ohhhh, You had such a great time!
You could be flat-dab dangerous with the water hose – to anyone stepping close enough! And there were never enough toys. The pool wasn’t perfect until it was crammed with all the toys You could fit.


As the years came along, Your love for swimming and playing in water never faded. Time came so fast when You would be circled by lots and lots of friends having fun – right along with You. Of course – i think Their greatest fun was in being able to pick You up and toss You into the water! Compared to all Your friends – You were so tiny and short – a perfect toy for Them!


Forever – will i hold such sweet, wonderful memories of Your fun with water. The giggles – the smiles – the comical laughing out loud...


Water gave You so much joy!
