We just received a book we created called "Life Before Parenthood"... it's been 2 years in the making. We sent it to print the day after Joelle was born. The book documents our life before we started on the journey of having children (from meeting in Maui, moving to Oregon and finding out that we were prego - the whole journey is documented in there). Hopefully we will never forget the stories and adventures we had as the "Gary & Courtney Show". It's definitely not about us anymore, and that's okay... it's the "Joelle Show" and she'll be the main star for a while :) We just wanted a way to preserve our story (accompanied with killer pictures of course). I think this is how we will do all our photo albums from here on out... in a professional book bound, hard cover, full bleed, 200+/- pg album... something that will last a life time.

i wanna see, i wanna see! what a great way to document life, i love it, and would love to be as talented as you guys! but, i guess there is only room in the world for one gary&courtney, maybe two, if joelle takes after her you
how many copies were printed in total and when can we expect to see them on our favorite bookstore shelves??
wow, it looks beautiful! do you just design the page layouts yourself, Gary, or do you use a program/company? Where/with whom do you print them? I've just started "digital scrapbooking" so I'm interested in how you did this! :)
Hi Gary, I'm Lisa, a friend of Court's from high school and EFCC. I love the book you guys have for your 2 years together! Do you mind telling me where you had it done? Or did you design it all yourself? Your pictures are incredible and I love looking at the blog. Tell Court I said congrats on the new baby.
