They Day We Stop to Celebrate.

Sometimes, you just need to stop.
And celebrate. Life is full. And days are scheduled. There is always a to-do list.
Business always needs tending.
Tasks need finished.
But sometimes, many times, it’s wonderful to stop and celebrate with those you love.

As promised, a post in honor of Leia Hyacinth’s first birthday …
we celebrated with the color of sunshine (or God’s color, as Lucia calls it), chick-shaped cookies and lemon squares, fluffy chicks and sweet laughter.

[love notes for Leia…]

 

We are SO VERY thankful for each and every precious birthday the Lord allows us to share with our children.
I always knew I’d love being a mother … but I never knew my heart could hold so much love!

Life is hard sometimes. A lot. We all know that. And we know families have their own strife and complications …
but I pray the sisters will always keep each other close at heart as they grow …

 

 

“Having a place to go – is a home.
Having someone to love – is a family. 

Having both – is a blessing.”

Sherri Lloyd & I were so happy to be a part of Leia’s special day. I hope your girls will one day recognize and appreciate how special and important a loving and supportive family is. Leia will never know what it’s like to be alone when she has so many loving sisters and family members around her, and that’s a tribute to how you raise her as well. LOVE the pics & the choice of such a cheerful theme. xo
