One of my favorite pastimes is scrapbooking and looking at our family photos. Since I started blogging last November I haven’t spent much time on my scrapbooks, but I do feel as though my blog is a scrapbook of sorts. I share family photos and activities, and tonight’s post is one of those entries.
Natalie and Joey are here with their little ones, Cupcake and Blue Eyes. They came down yesterday afternoon and we were all together as a family, hanging out, playing with the kids, and having dinner together. They are spending the nights with Joey’s parents ( I guess we do have to share them, sigh!), but they are coming in the morning for breakfast before they head back to N.C. We had a lot of fun yesterday, so I wanted to share a few of the photos of our time together.

I know that I post all the time about how much I love my family and how wonderful they are, but it’s true! I always knew from a very young age that no matter what else I did in life, I wanted to be a wife and mother more than anything. I believe God placed that desire in my heart, I don’t have any special gifts or talents to speak of, but I love being a wife to my hubby, a mom to my kids, and Nana to my grandkids. Nothing brings me greater joy than serving God by taking care of my family. It’s corny to some I’m sure, but to me it’s the best life I could have.
Have a great night!
Love, Velvia
You have one of the most important jobs of all! All mothers do! It is a very high calling and you have done an excellent job! Your family is beutiful and your love for them is so obvious!

Oh my sistah you are so blessed, and I know that you are a treasured Pearl to your little gems. If ever I saw someone who is in the right calling as a Mother, and Grandmother it is you my friend..
