One Year Ago.....

One year ago today, we saw her precious face for the very first time after having waited for a really really long time! And 365 days later all we have to say is that she was so oh so worth the wait and we know that if it had been any sooner it would not have been her! God knew all along and as always it is PERFECTION!! I wish I had time to do a years worth of pictures but below this collage is the absolute most recent pics of Franceska with her Daddy and two of her Big brothers last night at her sister in law Amys Birthday party..... Big Brother Christopher sharing his salad with her......it was the cutest thing!
Her Bubba kissing all over her , just before that she was kissing all over his neck,
And being Lady and the Tramp with Daddy......
Everyone keeps saying how blessed she is , but I can honestly say there she has a mommy , daddy, Popppy, Nonny, Grandma, 3 sisters, 3 brothers, 4 nephews , one neice, lots and lots of aunts, uncles and literally about 100 cousins and a ton of friends that truly consider themselves the blessed ones!!!

We love you babygirl!!! You will never know how much you have changed our lives

Easter 2011

My very very special friend Vicki , her husband Kent , and sons Kyle and Aaron came to see us over the Easter weekend. It was such an incredible time. Vick and I go way way back to grade school and I love her so so much. We love her family and we just cant wait to be a part of them bringing their Jayden Nicole home from China. We are thinking we will see her precious face around September or October!!! Vicki, Kent, Kyle and Aaron thank you for coming and visiting us, we cherish our time together and can't wait to be with all of you again. We love you all Ginormously!!!

Here are pics of Franceska's first Easter with some of her siblings and tons of her cousins!!!



The Babies.... Dayson, Kinley, and Franceska
This is my neice Jade . I took these pictures in the little Alzheimers Unit yard where my Momma is . We were all outside with Momma and the grass was so pretty and green . I told Jade to start posing and this is what we got. I am so proud of her and I think she is just absolutely stunning.

This is my Aunt Sara, She is 62 yrs old. You can say I have always been an Aunt Sara's girl. This is her wedding portrait from 40 yrs ago. When I was a little girl I used to carry it around just looking at it and thinking that she was so beautiful. I remember hoping that I one day would be a pretty bride like her one day. On monday after Easter we lost her to an aneurysm. Her last hours on this earth were very painful ones and that alone breaks me into a million pieces. But I find comfort in knowing that she is in heaven with Jesus and she is whole and she has no pain and most of all she is happy. I love you Aunt Sara, I love you so much. And I already miss you more than words can say. But I know one day I will see you again, and I know you will be there waiting to say to me, Hi Baby, I love you just like you always did.I found these from Christmas, I am so thankful that even though I get made fun of all the time for my camera never being too far away, I have this picture of her and Franceska.
