Happy Birthday Brayden!!

How did it come to be, dear sweet little prince, that we all blinked and our tiny little

graduate-to-the-6-pound-club .................

became a little boy?!

Maybe one day you'll begin to understand how you've blessed and changed us all.

We love you.

I've decided I'll let his sisters post about his special day. The day wore me out emotionally! ;-)

A Special Day

Today is a special day around here. For that reason, there will be a special post to follow later on today. I've been anticipating this day (and this post) for some time. I knew it would be bittersweet. I've experienced a day like this 4 other times in my life. Yet, I knew this one would feel a little different, a little more intense. This time, I'm older and not so prone to taking things/people in my life for granted. This time, there are more people around to mark the day and to be affected by it. This time, I recognize I may never mark an event like this again. So I'm left wondering. Did Mary weep the day her precious Jesus turned one?

Happy Easter!

"He is not here; he has risen just as he said."

Matthew 28:6

Good Friday

“So they took Jesus, and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called the place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha. There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them.”
– John 19:17-18
