I am going to create an alphabet book using pictures and words that express how grateful we are for our children, and that will help them learn a few things over time...maybe! The alphabet book will be based upon our feelings about adoption and the joy our kids bring into our lives. Right now the hardest part if trying to decide if I should keep Bbaby and Cbaby's books similar as far as the filler words.
Here is what I have listed for Cbaby's book....IDEAS AND HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
A. Adoption or Adopted
B. Birthmother
C. Cbaby
D. daddy
e. eternity
f. family
g. gratitude, grateful
h. happiness
i. included
j. joyus
k. Keep, ketchup
l. love, laughter
m. miracle, mommy
n. nanna (would include pictures of both grandmas)
o. open
p. pappa (would include pictures of both grandpas)
q. quick
r. red hair, rockstar
s. silly
t. teddy bear, tall
u. under
v. vest, vast, very
w. wonderful
x. X-cited (a stretch I know)
y. you, yellow, young
z. zoo
Bbaby's would be somewhat similar but with a few changes in the letter meanings. Like F would be family, foster care B would be bbaby, beautiful C would be caring, curls
Anyway, feel free to pipe in. :)

oh i absolutely love it! I think that is such a cool idea and i bet you have the coolest pictures for it, too! i would love to do that for my hypothetical children one day!
you're amazing. i can't wait to see it!
That's a great idea!
Here's another idea for you:
Something I have done for my kids is get a little photo album and cut pictures of Christ, the prophets, temples, etc from old church magazines. They get the filled photo album to look at during the sacrament. (and they usually hang onto them well after the sacrament.) We whisper about the pictures, about thinking about Jesus.
LOOOOVE IT! I think you're right on with making most of them the same, but with a few variations to personalize it for each child...makes it easy for future children!
i think you have a great list, what a neat idea!
And I have to add that your kids are so incredibly adorable. I totally look up to you, and can't believe that they are only 3.5 months apart. It's basically like twins. Can I call you wonder woman?
that is a GREAT idea I LOVE IT oh I miss you guys we are excited to finally see you guys on your big day! we love you!!!
for Calvin: C-Cassandra, B-balloon
for both: F-Favorite Aunt Marnie, T- temple, S- Sealing
For Bailey: do you want her to know what her real name was...N-Nevaeh
