Happy Birthday !

Nine years ago today a wondeful little boy was born. I didn't know him then but finally met him when he and his Daddy fell in love with my daughter Carly. It was then that i fell in love with Seth, the very first day i met him. Ever since that day he is and always will be my special boy...

Then 2 whole years ago, on the very same day Seth was born, Lola came into our lives, and i fell in love again.

It's really hard to get them into the very same picture, unless you pose them (IF you can hit the shutter button while Lola is staying still. Not easy!)
but these two people are what makes my life Blessed and very very happy.
Happy Birthday Seth and Lola! See you at the party!

Happy Birthday X Two!

It is so hard to believe that just one year ago today - this morning, we were all sitting anxiously in the waiting room of a local maternity ward, waiting for the arrival of our newest family member Lola. I spent the time talking to various members of our wonderful family(who are always there when you need them!), wearing out my prayer beads, and crocheting nervously... I remember being amazed at the quiet strength of her Daddy Jeramie, and the awesome focus and determination of my daughter Carly, to get this baby born. Still to this day i am so proud of how strong she was, how hard and long she labored without complaint, to give birth to our new baby...

And how amazing is it that Lola was born on the very same day as her big brother Seth! Everything about this day is special...

What a difference a year makes....

Happy Birthday to two of the people i love the most in the whole wide world!
