Keep clicking. I knew the day we brought home our adopted son
would be a special moment for our family, so I took dozens of photos.
You can never include too much journaling, but having tons of shots
gives you the option to tell the story in just a few words. Save the
date. I’ll never forget the date, but I want my children to remember it,
too. I found the perfect block to add both the date and journaling to
my page.
