White Rose Blooming (3 Months)

(While we do NOT believe that, speaking of the big picture, that anything that has ever happened in our lives is truly an "accident", from our human perspective, we never would have guessed we'd be where we are right now...)

Last Month, I went for the tear-jerker. This month, I just wanted to make people smile. I know I smiled when I watched this as a finished product, and I think you will to.

Here are three months worth of pictures of my two girls and the love we share.

  27. Loved the video! So sweet! The picture of gwyneth with her arms thrown open wide is so precious. I used to play a game with my daughter where I would hold her hands and ask "How Big Is Kaitlyn? She's Soooooo Big!" and I would open her arms wide. That picture reminds me of that because "Gwyneth is Soooo Big now!" Blessings!

  145. I cannot believe that I am actually writing this (because I have gotten the same line so often and it drives me nuts) but watching this video 1)made me smile 2) really puts things into perspective and 3) is a good reminder to me that other people are dealing with far greater challenges than am I and are doing so with far more grace (this part is the part that I normally get, and which drives me up the proverbial wall).

    I am having a bit of a tough week and have just been feeling down. Thank you so much for posting this--I really needed it.

    (Clearly, that was not your intention, but just chalk it up to G-d working in all sorts of fascinating and wierd ways).

    Praying that you have more good news to report today!
