Holding my babies tighter

If you read my last post, you know about sweet baby Harper. She's continuing to make baby steps toward recovery and the most recent tests show that her heart is healthy as can be! She still has a long road ahead of her and will likely be in the NICU for a few more weeks. Please keep this sweet family in your prayers.

I check Kelly's blog several times a day, looking for recent updates. I just recently found her through the blog world, and she is such a beautiful person inside and out. I really feel like I know her, and I cannot get her, her husband and that sweet baby Harper out of my mind.

With that said, things like this make me really take a step back and look at my own life. I am so truly blessed. I have these two beautiful, healthy children and an adoring husband that I am so very thankful for. I find myself holding them all tighter and cherishing our moments together. (Last night, for example, C decided he was just awake. Not really fussing, just awake and wanted to be held. I couldn't help but think of Kelly and how she longed to hold her sweet baby. I held C for as long as it took...and then some;) just thinking, and praying.)

So I looked back through my pictures and here's my 2 babies...from one year ago! Look at these two!
