Tag it:          I received a beautiful leather-bound sketchpad/notebook for Christmas a few years ago and have been saving it up for the perfect project, scared to make a mark in it for fear of making a mistake and ruining it. I finally decided how to use it and I began writing in it a little over a week ago: "Introduction. Alleia is already one week old. Janel and I are beginning to catch our breath, she is feeding well, and we (or at least I) are getting a little more sleep each night. It may be premature, but I can't help but imagine her growing up -- and since everyone says how quick it will go, I wanted to be sure to make some notations along the way. In a world that is only getting more post-modern, with all the emphasis on story that that entails, it seems appropriate to keep a record of some of the important parts of Alleia's story -- especially while she's too young to remember for herself. My hope is that as the years go by, we can use this book as a special storybook from time to time, to read from at bedtimes or birthdays, and eventually to present to her as a gift, a story to supplement all the other important stories -- familial stories, those of friends and of acquaintances, stories of the faith and the way of Jesus."
