i love these sessions…and have worked with nothing but exceptional families and parents. these babies are true blessings…when i look into their beautiful, sweet eyes, i know how differently it could have been. sweet baby elizabeth is doing so well and is getting so close to going home to her two big brothers and one sister…i am thinking she is going to get a lot of love and attention.:) keeping growing strong miss elizabeth…you are a sweet pea, little one.
in the heart of the holiday season, i find it is so easy to get caught up in the commercialization of Christmas…the gift buying, the decorations, the holiday cards…all of the things that seem to take over our lives during the month of december. and, not that all of these things are not wonderful because they are, but have you just stopped during this busy time to think about the true meaning of Christmas in the birth of baby Jesus? as i sit here writing this post, i am humbled by these sweet, little miracles which are the most special gift from above. all three of these babies decided to come into the world early. they are so small, so innocent and are true blessings. it is these little blessings which are one reminder to me of the true meaning of Christmas. and, as you continue to prepare for the beautiful day of Christ’s birthday, take a deep breath, look at all the blessings in your life and hold them close to your heart. to the hedin and oswald familes…i truly loved meeting you all and your little ones. i was moved with how much love filled both hospital rooms. thank you for allowing me into your lives for just a bit to meet your sweet ones…i pray they all continue to grow strong so they can be home soon.
