Being the photo freak that I am, I was chomping at the bit to upload a photo to my blog page. Unfortunately, I could not wait for my new photos to load on my computer, so I had to use photos that were taken before Christmas. Ah, Patience is a virtue. One that I am still trying to acquire. So, here we are. . .Caroline, Mommy, and Joshua before the Raleigh Christmas Parade. With a little craftiness and a whole lot of glue we made these Christmas sweatshirts for the kids. They used their hand prints to make a reindeer, and I used green ribbon for the trim work. They were really cute, and very comfortable. The only downside to this project was the fact that red sweatshirts are very hard to find in 3-6 month sizes. As a result, Baby Christian did not get to make his. We had to improvise with his outfit. Since he and Joshua were born around the same season, we had many Christmas outfits that we could use to coordinate with the kids. Just look at that cute little face! He could melt the icicles off of a reindeer's antlers :-)
What wonderful children God has given us. I just can not believe how blessed we are. I can remember my sister telling me how much love you have for your child and that it is like no other love you will experience in your life. I could not understand exactly what she was talking about until I had children of my own. Your heart is so full of love and the need to give your child a lifetime of love and protection. My prayer is that they too, will look back on these times and remember the love of the season or day. People sometimes use that old cliche, "A picture is worth a thousand words." Yes, there are many things that you can say or think when looking back at these wonderful pictures. I hope that my kids will be able to recall those "picture perfect" moments that we have shared, and be able to pass that along to their children as well. A heritage that will last forever. Just like the images in a picture.
