I am a 30 something year old mom of five precious boys and two sweet girls. Five of our children are here with us and two are in the arms of Jesus. Our sweet baby girl Hope was diagnosed with Dystrophic Epdermolysis Bullosa and our youngest son came to us through adoption, our youngest daughter through foster care, and I've recently been diagnosed with malignant melanoma the Lord has shown us just how Faithful He is. We will continue to Journey and follow Him where ever He leads. We feel very blessed that God chose us to be the parents of each of our kids, and we look forward to what He has in store for us in foster care!
I cannot believe that my baby girl is almost two. She challenges me more than I would like to admit and blesses me even more. She LOVES to pick out her own clothes and accessories and LOVES getting her hair done each day. She is the epitome of girly girl and while I never imagined myself the mama of a girly girl, I sure do love it! Praising God for each moment he grants me with these precious kids. I am over the moon grateful that I get to be their mom.
Go ahead and mention my child, The one that died, you know. Don't worry about hurting me further. The depth of my pain doesn't show. Don't worry about making me cry. I'm already crying inside. Help me to heal by releasing The tears that I try to hide. I'm hurt when you just keep silent, Pretending she didn't exist. I'd rather you mention my child, Knowing that she has been missed. You asked me how I was doing. I say "pretty good" or "fine". But healing is something ongoing I feel it will take a lifetime. ~ Elizabeth Dent ~

The third one down makes me laugh, every time I look at it! (3 times now, for the record) It's like she's saying, "Heyyyyyy, girls! time to party!" :)
