Enjoying the BIG Things…

April 6, 2008 By Kelle

Happy for Life and all the beautiful things in it today. My friend Kelly had a beautiful baby last night…one that truly is a miracle, and while basking in that joy, I am reminded just how precious life is.

Remembering to enjoy it–every bit of it.

Our life’s happies today:

This face. It looks upside down, but she was sitting in front of me and leaned back to look up at me. Hello, little Heaven!

Watching Daddy uncomfortably plunk around the floor all in the name of having fun with his girl. It’s a game of Baby Chase!


Stopping and remembering to be thankful…Welcome to the world, Baby Lily! Lainey can’t wait to be your friend!

    This is amazing! Having you there for Lily, David and me the last few days are something I will never forget. There are so many moments that I just couldn’t even believe you were real! It’s unspeakable!! Truly!
