So I wanted to post a couple more pictures of a layout that I finished. More of the Sage and Nevaeh coloring day. My cast is now off and I am in a walking boot so I am sure that my uninterrupted scrapping time is over for quite some time. That makes me sad. I really want to crank out some stuff. Poor Sage has been neglected! I have her whole first year to do! I started going out of order and just doing what I could, when I could. I need to get a handle on it all and get cracking!! My next scheduled project is to make invitations for Nevaeh's birthday party. I'll post them when I'm done!

Happy Birthday Baby Boy

It is so hard to believe that my baby boy would be 7 today. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him. It was unimaginably hard at first, however, I know now that I wouldn't change a thing. Not one day would be different. You may think that I am nuts for saying that. What mother in her right mind would choose, if she could go back and do it all again, to have her first born baby not come home, but go with God instead? As much as I wanted my son and was so devastated to have lost him, God knew what He was doing. I believe it was our greatest testament and show of our faith that we have faced. I think it was the closest that Jimmy and I have ever been. It was heart wrenching and horrible, however, because of it all, I have been blessed with two beautiful daughters. We would never have pursued adoption if Holden had survived, therefore I wouldn't have my Nevaeh. Sage may still have happened. Who knows about that, however, it wouldn't be the same.

So today I say Happy Birthday to my Holden James. Mommy loves you so much. I know you are safe and happy and loved and that makes every day just a little sweeter.

A Layout of Sage

So I finally felt pretty good and the house wasn't in too much disarray so I took advantage of the girls spending time with Grandma and Pappy and got some layouts done. I LOVE using my Close To My Heart "How To" books to get ideas. I had some pictures laying around of Sage and Nevaeh coloring. It was the first time that Sage ever attempted to do it and this was the first picture that I snapped. She had just crawled up to the table and was getting ready to get down to business. I will post more pictures soon!!
