That Crazy Perspective Thing – Three Years Later

That Crazy Perspective Thing – Three Years Later

Her 1st birthday…. Three years ago yesterday, July 23rd, 2011, was a day I’ll never, ever forget. Annabelle had just celebrated her 1st birthday a few days prior.

Sweet Annabelle Update

Sweet Annabelle Update

I’m sitting in Annabelle’s hospital room tonight, waiting for her to go to sleep so I can go to sleep. She slept most of the evening away, so I might have a long wait! She’s graduated to a “big girl” bed for the first time vs the hospital crib. While this is GREAT for her, […]
