pretty in pink

 
 
 
 
Ok my girlies are too funny. We tried putting them in front of the tree and Taliah kept hopping up in excitement. Oh how I love these girls. They are my Christmas gift, with their sweet smiles and snuggly love.....sigh. I am thankful.

Taliah Grace

 
 
 
 
Last weekend we dedicated Taliah at our church. Since teh moment she was born we gave her to God, it was special to have an elder couple stand with us in agreeing for God to have His way with our little dewdrop from heaven. Though Taliah was way more interested in her shoes..

i love my family

 
 
 
we had such a lovely day yesterday going nowhere. I was in my pjs all day, finally at 7pm Eiley said "mom you still have your pjs on!" Quite observant she is. THis was my way of slowing down. We decorated gingerbread houses for our neighbors and played together read books and napped....Ahhh Saturdays. WE have not had one like this is a looooong time.

Finally a BOY

 
 
WE are so thrilled that little Tobin Peter Braun was born two weeks ago. After 6 girl cousins we were ready for a special little boy. My sis-in-law Judy was amazing, delivering a 10 pound boy after a long labor, I am inspired by her stamina. I look forward to getting to know this little precious boy and as you can see Eiley and Tobin's big sister Kaelyn are very proud as well.

Angels Embrace

 
I love this ornament, gifted from two special heart friends after we lost Taliah's twin in pregnancy two years ago this week. This September, when we miscarried again, this picture again comforted me. Every child is a special gift from GOd, a miracle, a true miracle. I am so thankful for GOd's comfort and that even in this season I remember that He sent Jesus as the ultimate comfort, to me and all mankind. For that I am truely thankful
