The Broken Road

"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief... and unspeakable love."

- Washington Irvin

Remembering February 27th, 2010



 I can remember when I bought this turtle print outfit for Ellie at Babies R Us. Most everything else purchased that day screamed GIRL! It was all either pink or purple. But as soon as I saw this, I knew Ellie needed it. At our second ultrasound we thought she looked just like a little turtle and referred to her as Turtle for a long time. This was the first day she was able to fit into it. It was also about the only day she was able to fit into it. She grew like weed!

Our little Peanut all dressed up in her pretty little dress and ready to meet some more family!

Max's beautiful baby blues.

Snug as a bug in a rug. Ellie loved to be all wrapped up in her warm fuzzy blankets. I sleep with this blanket every night.
