Pictures for the Soul...

As many of you know, this past year has been very hard for Chris & I emotionally. Back around Easter, we found out after much excitement that our baby passed away in my womb at 13 weeks. Shocked & distraut, I was by myself at my 1st OB appt because my husband could not get off from work...not expecting any bad news...saw my little angel on the monitor follow by the worst feeling I've ever felt. The hardest part was getting up & walking out of the office and calling my husband to tell him the news. After 4 weeks of my body clinging to my little angel...they finally had to take it. After much heartache & trying to have another baby...we experienced a miscarriage...:( After going on an emotional rollercoaster ride, we finally could just be thankful for our precious Hailey. During my time off from work, Hailey helped me bounce back more than she'll ever know...she makes me smile everyday. Even though she did not understand what was going on, she knew there was something making mommy upset & suggested getting the camera out & taking pics! She knows me so well....and made everything better...at least for a little while!

I love her!!!!
Looking forward to meeting our 2 angels in Heaven one day...and excited that they will know that we are Mommy & Daddy! I'll even get the chance to name them...hmmm, better be thinkin'!

Finalized! ~ Hailey's Ballerina Bedroom Redo

I am totally singing the HALLELUJAH CHORUS ! After months of contemplating Hailey's bedroom redo and realizing after I started that this was harder than expected with tons of DIY projects...it's DONE!! Well, at least for now. Possible that I will continue with cosmetic procedures later, but for now...here it is... Just a walk down memory lane... even though it's totally embarrassing with overflow of clutter in which I strongly dislike... Oh my...look at the bedskirt, lol! Felt a tad bit sorry for Lindsey who thought she belonged with her favorite stuffed animals in the hammock.... But anyway, after painting her walls pink and hand painting sillhouettes of ballerinas...it was on! I have been so greatful that God placed the perfect people in my path to finish Hailey's room with one of the Dance mom's, Jenna Pratt who exchanged a ballerina comforter set plus pillows and curtains for a video baby monitor...absolutely perfect! ...

Down memory lane - Winter 2013

If there's one thing I love most, it's snow days!! Down time with fun in the snow and hot chocolate, cuddles and watching some of our favorites like Toot & Puddle, Franklin, Little Bear, The Berenstain Bears, Olivia, The Backyardigans, Sofia the First...or any Christmas movie, especially the Polar Express! We love snow days!! Nothing better than waking up to snow and homemade fun. The girls decided to dress up our snowlady and chose Snow White after looking through their dress-up clothes...neither of them wanted snow white to melt.... After thawing out and a warm bath, Lindsey always enjoyed playing with her playhouse and would always holler for me to come find her and let me know she was in her house. She loved how she could fit inside and imagination play.... . Lindsey started getting a cold but continued to smile....I mean, who doesn't love that baby...
