I look at this picture...
I have been thinking about this picture non-stop (it was only taken yesterday) and I really am in total awe of my miracle of a little girl. Do I have the strength she does? I'm not really sure that I do. Sometimes I forget that this isn't my trial, and I feel really sorry for myself. Sometimes I cry really blasted hard for her, jake and myself. I hope I can get over that. How is she able to endure so much, and still be so happy? I can't believe it sometimes. I'm a baby, I really am, because this picture makes me want to curl into ball and sob from joy.

I LOVE the photos Jake takes of you. They really reflect how much he loves you and the Pipster, and this one is no exception. You look great and she looks SO happy, I love it!

This is the sweetest picture. It should be your Christmas picture just glue Jake's head in the bottom corner.

Such a beautiful picture! My friend April and I love your blog and refer to you, Jake and Piper like we are all great friends... "Did you see the pictures from Jake and Reagan's vaca?!?" And since we are from Des Moines, Iowa and we only know you through your blog, our friends pretty much make fun of us! We don't care though:) Piper looks so great!

Right now this is my favorite picture in the world. It is at the top of my "grandkids" wreath titled "Joy to the world!" That's what I see in your faces, joy. Just like always, good job, mama.

She is beautiful and so are you. You both have to be strong to endure the trial, but I am like you. I think I am a big baby when it comes to trials and I see what little kids do and they do it with grace. Bless them. You guys are awesome and we miss you.
