Dance Costume is Here!

AB's big, spring dance recital is coming up in June. I don't think she can comprehend what all it entails, but I can tell you that she can hardly contain her excitement over one thing. Her costume. As Ms. Marissa was going over recital and costume procedures, AB couldn't sit still she was so excited to get her hands in her costume. We went home and tried it on. It was so precious on her. I'm just as excited as she is, I think!





What?...There's Something on My Head, You Say?

This is what happens when you have a big sister and you are absolutely defenseless. You may find yourself with fabric coasters on your head.



Valentine's Day 2013

This Valentine's Day I had three sweet valentines instead of two this year. How blessed I am! The love I feel on this day, and everyday, is overwhelming. I love my girls and their sweet daddy. I don't know what I would do without all of this love in my life!









Emme's 3rd Birthday Party

It's hard to believe that the same teeny tiny preemie that spent the first six weeks in the NICU is turning three! What a sweet, precious blessing she is! So, we celebrated her third year of life in style at build-a-bear.





















Do You Think She Knows She's Cute?



A Trip to Altoga

My whole life I listened to my best friend, Jenna, talk about visiting Altoga and decoration Sunday, and playing at the old farm house and barn. As close as we were and as much as we did everything together, going to Altoga was never worked into our play dates. I wish it had been under better circumstances, but I got to visit Jeannie and Jenna's beloved Altoga. Sweet Mama Marge went home to be with The Lord, following her love, Papa Dunn. After the funeral, we followed the processional to the sweet little cemetery I'd been hearing about for years and laid Mama Marge next to her sweet Charles. Sweet memories have been made all of these years in the Dunn family and I was blessed to be apart of it on this day.

Eleven Months Old

Eleven Months Old!

You're almost a year, LC! I can't take it! I can't believe my baby is almost a year. What a fun eleven months it's been, though.

I enjoy seeing what you have in store for us each day. I know I can ALWAYS count on your big smiles and happy spirit. It's overwhelming how joyful you are!!



Oh my goodness. My heart can hardly take al of that cuteness.





You have so many people who love you and want to love on you. I love the relationships you form. Already, at this young of an age, you have lifelong friends and people who will always love you. That's a gift you have, LC.





Your sweet toothy smile just makes my day. I love those teeth!! I couldn't let go of the gums, but those teeth are even better -- if that's even possible. Like your Daddy, you smile with your eyes, too. I love how they light up with each smile.






It takes a village...but what a wonderful village. You have an AMAZING group of therapists who work with you and so closely monitor your progress. I'm so grateful for each one of them...and they love you so much!


There's nothing like the sisterly love you and your sister have. I could watch you two all day. You LOVE each other!!!




I love you my precious angel. Thank you for being you. I love every bit of who you are!!! 

Love you SO much,

Mommy
