It's been an emotional couple of weeks for me anyway, with some changes for our family. What perfect timing. Today Macie should have turned 3--my one literal angel, who I hardly know at all. I do know she must have a huge spirit and be completely selfless. I do know that she is special and that she quickly and quietly fulfilled all she needed to. I do know that our family is lucky enough to have a cheerleader on the other side. I can't imagine anything more comforting.
It's interesting how that first year after you lose a loved one every single thing is measured in months. The holidays are painful. Once that first year has gone by in its entirety, the load gets a little lighter. It gets slightly easier to go on. But then it's just different. We don't make it to the cemetery as often. I have other things/children to occupy my thoughts. Other people move on as well. Thank goodness for sweet moments of remembrance, especially for birthdays. I am so so thankful to my friends and family who took the time to let us know they were thinking of us. I have some incredible friends, and my house has the flowers/gifts to prove it.
Happy 3rd birthday sweet one. Thanks for joining our family.

I love the pictures, especially the expressions on the kids faces. Have a great week!
Three years old. I think she would have been tall for her age (like Emma), into books, the color pink, Tyler's legos, emptying the kitchen cabinets daily, and Taylor Swift. Oh -- and she would LOVE shopping with Grandma.
So cute- so glad you got such great moments on camera. And yes- Tanner is so funny and adorable in that last picture.
We were thinking about you all day. What a sweet post. Love you guys!
