family. tree.

lately i've been thinking about the idea of family. how two people can get together and WHAM! instant family! and then those two people start their own family (biological or otherwise) and another little "unit" is born! (pun intended)

the husband and i are coming up on 15 years of being together. that's almost 41% of my adult life. i can't imagine being without him. and now we have the mini - even though she's only been in existence for barely 21 months (i guess 30 months if you count me being pregnant) - we can't imagine life without her either.

it's gotten me to thinking that i want to make us a family tree to put up somewhere in our home. there are so many fabulous designs on etsy - seriously, i cannot decide which one is more amazing. fancyprints' take on the family tree (left)is a fabulous blend of modern and conventional.

cozyblue (left) takes the family tree concept, and literally deconstructs it into a minimalist wonder.

last but not least, belle&boo's family tree is so appealing to me because of it's illustrations and 40's feel.

i'm not sure which way to go. but i am certain that i will find tons to covet as i browse!

(thank you, ladies, for sharing your talents with the world!)
