March 15, 2008 – to my chubby bunny
If you could see the cheeks on our little girl you could imagine how adorable this little shirt will look on her. Although I may never see her wearing this outfit, I can imagine how precious she will be.
We are sending over a few clothing items with someone who ’should’ be traveling very soon. Although [...]

March 12, 2008 – Kisses in the wind
I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams.
You are here each day with me, at least that’s how it seems.
I know you wonder where we are… what’s taking us so long.
But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong.
Now go outside and feel the breeze and let [...]

exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of [...]

March 3, 2008 – A little blue box and the magic candle
March 3 was my birthday… one that I had been feeling a little apprehensive about. This was the day I left my 20’s and became 30.
I do have a few wrinkles on my forehead (I call them my angry marks), I can no longer eat cookies and candy and chips with cheese without paying [...]

March 1, 2008 – Beach Bums
We actually spent the entire weekend just laying on the beach soaking up sun.
There was a great breeze in Puerto Rico so you could literally lay out all day and not get too hot. It had just rained in this picture and you can see a rainbow off in the distance.
Pina Colada’s and Margaritta’s…. ahhhh.
