    What can I add? I was truly blessed by this testimony of manhood and fatherhood. Thank you for sharing it with us.


  • MrsPeel Posted 477 days ago

    I m tears here.
    I have said many times this about you and your family: you have given me back hope.
    To be honest, I didnt believe that,in these troubled times of violence and lack of love, people like you guys were for real.

    The Scrap is fantastic as an art piece, but, beyond what you can portrait, there is the feelings that makes this a million, no, a trillion times better than any word can ever describe.

    I hope (from my heart) that one day I can make my way to your side of the world and meet you all, and give you a huge hugg, because you have given me something priceless, wordless.
    No way to explain, but I'm sure you understand.

    All my love
    Huggzzz

    What a treasure this scrapblog is! I love your photos, your layouts - the text. You've done an awesome job! It was such a special treat to view the incredible picture of the whole family on the last page! I'm glad you're part of the Scrapblog family!


  • dnllra Posted 476 days ago

    Oh, this is so sweet... Your husband sounds like a great dad and husband, you're a lucky woman!

    The pictures of your family remind me of mine... I grew up #7 in a family of 10 children, and it was so much fun, there was always lots of love to go around!

    Congratulations on a beautiful family (and a gorgeous, artistic scrapblog, too!)


  • MommyMel Posted 476 days ago

  • nipper1508 Posted 476 days ago

    Awesome, Awesome, Awesome. I don't know what else to say. This is really great.


  • MommyVictory Posted 476 days ago

    This was a beautiful tribute about the head of your family. What a blessing it is for you and your children to have such a godly man. Thanks for sharing and for giving us a peek into your family's dynamic.

  • SusieK Posted 476 days ago

    Wow, what a wonderful man you are married to-- such a loving father and husband. You must be so pleased and proud of your sweet family. I love all the pictures, especially the ones of him holding the tiny babies, but also the ones of him holding the older children and you as well are so dear. And I love that last photo of all 10 of you!!!

    A very touching scrapblog!!!

  • cazjane Posted 474 days ago

    Thanks for your visit today. I really don't know HOW you find time to create fantastic scrapblogs and keep up with the comments AND look after 8 children!!! Of course....you seem to have a very helpful husband (who obviously loves to help!)


  • Miruspeg Posted 474 days ago

    How are the goofy kids (meaning you and your husband) today!
    This scrapblog community is such delight to be a part of and if I have my way we will all be able to meet in person 2010. I feel we are all brothers and sisters walking along the same path.
    Blessing to you all too.

  • Jenn Leyde Posted 471 days ago

    Wow! I'm so inspired! Beautiful pages and words!


  • HomeschoolGarden Posted 470 days ago

    This is my favorite scrapblog as well. It is breath-taking!


    It brought tears to my eyes to see such a godly man of strength and integrity, his obvious love for his family and you all for him. We need more men like him in our world. I am blessed with one myself.

    Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful scrapblog with us. Words are not enough......


  • little_m Posted 469 days ago

    Thanks for pointing me in the direction of dnllra's 'Good Morning! (challenge07)'... it's exceptional and I believe it will be hard to beat!

    Thanks for keeping my son in your thoughts... all is well with him! He's been busy with his training, which is thankfully taking place here in the U.S.! It's nice to know he's here, and not serving in some hostile country! He's thinking about coming home for the month of December... if he can his superior's approval, this is!

    I enjoyed the Friday Five by you and 4 of 8! It was great fun! I was especially pleased that you selected a scrapblog made by my friend, dossantos! He's a great source of inspiration for me... he's very artistic, isn't he?

    Take care and I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!

    I just love this scrapblog. You are so talented. I am new to scraplog and am unsure how this works or even to ask, but my husband is a soldier in Iraq. He reads our family blog faithfully and I would love to surprise him with a "Tribute to him" using this template. Is it possible to share it with me? I will give you full credit. Thanks- nisa.peek@gmail.com

  • MsMary Posted 392 days ago

    Octamom, I'm wondering if everything is okay with you? You have been so quiet lately. Maybe working on another scrapblog? I do pray you and your family are well.

    I wanted to let you know that because of the inspiration I gleaned from this SB, I made a SB in memory of my father-in-law whom I admired and loved very much. I'm still not completely finished with it, but I would love to have your thoughts on what has been done thus far. Please talke a look at the SB you inspired; "A Man Among Men."


  • JackyS Posted 376 days ago

    I love this! Very touching. I hope my husband is like that someday (like when I get married) =D

    I've also been reading your blog and enjoying it immensly--glad 4 of 8's surgery went well!

  • hel888en Posted 329 days ago

    I Agree So Completely With You. You Present Such A Wonderful Image Of Your Husband And Family It's Heartwarming To See It's Still Out There Somewhere. Your Admiration And Love For Him Is So Obvious. Your A Very Lucky Woman To Have A Husband, Lover, Father For Your Children And Someone To Draw Strength From And Share With Like Him But What Makes You Even Luckier Is That Your Wise Enough To Know Cherish And Treasure It....Beautiful SB...Love Debbie
