One Year Ago Today- To Jan With Love
One year ago to this very day I received the phone call that stopped my world from spinning.

For Roark’s first family birthday this Friday we are celebrating with his favorite new activity… swimming! This boy LOVES the water!! I have decided to stick with a water theme and revolve the … Continue reading
Happy Birthday Miracle Baby
This time last year you were born. As the doctor lifted you up he did not say boy or girl, he said “meet your miracle baby”. He proceeded to show us that your cord was in a “true knot” and I have been thankful every minute of everyday since.
