LOVE 2
I am going to post something I love each day in February. (I did this last year too, and I thought it was great way to celebrate my favorite month.)
Today's love is Simone. I had a little "baby" session with her a few days ago. She is growing up way too quickly for me. She has slept in her big girl bed 4 nights in a row. I am going to do her big girl session on her birthday.
At 5:00 this morning I heard Simone crying. I nudged Lincoln to go open her door so she could come in with us. He came back to bed with her in his arms. He said she had been twisted up in two baby blankets (which she refers to as "my") like a little cocoon. The blankets were pinning down her arms, and it was wrapped over her head and face. I couldn't sleep after that. She snuggled with me, and I thought about how grateful I was for her and that she was safe.
I had another experience today where I was reminded how closely Heavenly Father watches over for us. We went to Baltimore for a doctor appointment for Talia. My GPS didn't recognize the address, but did recognize the street so I just put in a mystery number in hopes that it would get me close. Close is not good in Baltimore. When my GPS said "Your destination is on the left." I just about started to cry. It was the scariest boarded up neighborhood, with graffiti everywhere, and sweet looking teenagers dressed in black hooded coats standing in groups. I just kept driving and prayed. We were going to be late and that added to my anxiety. I turned a few corners, and then out of now where was the intersection I needed. I couldn't believe we found it, and on TIME no less. I said a thank you prayer, and then tears came---they were inevitable.
Here is my sweet Simone.....
(Her curly pigtails may be the cutest thing on this earth.)
