Photos

I love taking photos, I am a scrapbooker after all, and over the years we have thousand of pictures of Baba and the dogs, and everything else that we have done in the past.

These last few days I have been sorting the pictures out. They are totally disorganised and I can’t really tell what should be with what. So I needed to get everything sorted so that I could start getting on top of my scrapbooks.

I have been doing the last couple of years of photos, and been putting them into the correct files.

It is amazing how many presents Rhianna Lily has got in the last 18 months, and amazing the amount of flowers that I have photographed.

I decided very early after Rhianna died that she would have a scrapbook, the same as Baba, and that it wouldn’t be a scrapbook that had her 50 pictures in that were taken at her birth and then stop. Rhianna will always be a part of our lives, so her scrapbook will have messages in from people who contacted us when she died (I still haven’t started this scrapbook it is all just being planned) and it will have photos in of things that we do over the years.

The things we do to celebrate her at Christmas and her birthday and all the flowers that we put on her grave. I take pictures of all of her flowers before they are taken up to her grave and they will all be included in her album. I want to record the things we have done for her and this seemed the best way for me.

And I have to say over the last 18 months, her flowers have been beautiful. She really does have the most prettiest and most colourful grave with those flowers. And really should it be any different.

After all she’s a baby girl she would love pretty colours, and bright colours and want to be the centre of attention and her flowers really do make her that.

I can’t wait to get the pictures printed, and put into her album now, it isn’t going to be easy, there will be lots of tears. But I seem to think that the time is nearly here. When I need to sit down and make this album a reality rather than a plan, and have something that we can all look through and remember and think when we want to!
