Happy Family: Mama, Papa, & Li’l Bird
Today’s family is more than adorable. It’s a pretty simple thing they love to do together, but their little story captured my heart. For starters, Mom and Dad are called “Mama” and “Papa”. How cute is that?! And they call their li’l guy “Bird”… which makes tossing him in the air, the perfect thing for Mama to be doing! I’ll let Amy tell you their story:
Our family grew from 2 to 3 just 5 months ago, and as we are learning to be a family we are just loving the simple, quiet times of life. Reading story books, playing peek-a-boo, bath time and family nap time are all favorites! We also love taking walks together when the weather is nice. But if I had to pick one favorite thing, it is when we sing together. Our baby loves music, especially when it is made by Mama and Papa. Papa plays on his guitar, and Mama sings along while our little Bird grins and giggles and squeals!
Thank you to the Butz family for submitting such a sweet story! I’ve been enjoying learning more about you, Amy! Head on over to Facebook to read about Amy’s creative outlet and something surprising about herself!
And by the way, do you guys know what a global group we have reading this blog? Not only are there people from MANY of the states (if not all of them) reading, but we have wonderful readers from India, Brazil, Jordan, Sweden, and Canada reading too! If you are from another country that I didn’t list, drop us a line in the comment field today! So happy to have you all!
Congrats again to Amy and family for being winner #2 in the Happy 100 Happy Family contest!
Cheers!
Katie
This one is so sweet!
Another cute family! It’d be so fun for them to make stationary cards with this!
Oh Katie – thank you, thank you, thank you!!! What a special thing for us to treasure forever! You definitely captured us. This is definitely getting framed and hung in Bird’s nursery.
And Maggie, the stationary idea is a great one!
Thanks again!! xo
Amy, you are so welcome!
I’m so very glad you like it! Your story captured my heart! So sweet and fun!
Yay, congratulations Amy!! Your family’s illustration came out beautiful (as we all knew it would). Also loved your story.
I hope the winners will all submit pictures of their illustrations up in their homes. That would be so fun to see.
Katie you truly are such a generous person. I’m totally enjoying these more personal illustrations.
This one is adorable! Love the soft colors of this one…and that Bird looks so happy!
I love this and it captures a happy family so well.
Hi Katie. With an open invitation like that I just couldn’t resist coming out of the shadows to tell you, I check up on your blog regularly from Brisbane, Australia. I am really enjoying these family illustrations.This is so much fun, what will you do after the year is finished….?
