Two years ago today our life was forever changed & touched by an angel. Our sweet baby Grace was born and came into our hearts to stay forever. Although we never got to hear her cry, laugh, or talk, see her smile, walk, or dance, there are things we found through her that nothing else will ever give us. She lives in us, through us and around us and will always be a part of our family.
Today, I ask each of you to do something that will help keep her happy memory alive. She was meant to make a difference, change a life, bring peace. So find something positive to do today for her....find some way to spread love, thanks, or cheer. Maybe through a phone call, email, or a simple hug to someone who means something to you, a friend you haven't talked to lately, or just someone who needs a reason to smile and laugh.
If you wish, please join us in making a donation to KinderMourn (http://www.kindermourn.org/) for the wonderful help, care and support they brought us. They not only carried us through our grief, but gave us life long friendships for which we will be forever grateful for. In our small group of families who all lost their first babies, 2 babies (and one more on the way), have come into the world. Our families are bonded together in a very painful, but joyous way. We get to help each other with the hard dates and milestones, but also get to celebrate and be a part of the wonderful new lives we've created. (Happy 1st birthday Mr Broughton)!
Through our grief we want to make a positive mark on the world in Grace's honor. Thank you for helping us do that by celebrating her spirit with us today!

Little Miss Thing
So as you can see our little miss thing is into everything :) She decided she was going to sport Aunt Betsy's sunglasses, on the back of her head of course! She loves to get into the kitchen cabinets, pull out anything she can (including the breakables). But her favorite thing is going through my bathroom cabinets....she carries around the hair spray, perfume, hair products and of course the hair straightener. Walking around and talking with the things in her hand, not making a lick of sense to me, but she is content and occupied, so it works!

Waves, words & tears
Little photo op before we said good bye to Daddy today. Claire waved with her perfect little hand and said "bye bye Daddy" in her precious little voice as I held back tears....such a sweet & innocent fair well.

Been strawberry pickin
We spent a fun Saturday morning picking strawberries at the Hunter Farm. Claire had a blast...she loved getting dirty, sticky and tossing them in the bucket!
Chuck E Cheese Please
So after a busy morning of picking the perfect strawberries & a nap, we spent the afternoon playing at Chuck E Cheese, running around the playground and enjoying some ice cream! Needless to say we all slept good that night!
