It was the most terrifying day of our lives. Four years ago today. The day we discovered your heart had stopped beating. That you had left us before you had even officially joined us. After 36 weeks of hoping, praying, planning, anticipating…it all just ended. Our dreams, our path, your life. We will never be […]
Dear Eloise, You turn SIX today! You are brave and funny, smart, sensitive, and kind, and I couldn’t be more proud of the person you are becoming. I hope this year brings you new friends, fun, and lots of great experiences. I hope I get to be a part of each and every one, right […]
What a wonderful idea this is! Have a wonderful day celebrating Eloise’s #6!
This vacation was a moment that had been in the making for a year…and hoped for much longer than that. “A dream is a wish your heart makes,” indeed. We started with four days in Captiva, FL for our annual beach fix, and then headed to Orlando to dip our toes into the Disney waters […]

It would have been wonderful to have Hannah in our lives – to love dearly, to watch her grow, to make many memories with her. We will never get over this tragic loss.
