Monday's Moments on Tuesday

Yesterday an enormous wave of emotion pounded over me! Our town has experienced an incredible loss. Suddenly a mother lost her baby boy,a sister lost a brother and many people are grieving. A dark cloud has rolled in, and I am praying the family receives the answers they need and someday have peace.

Yesterday was tough ~ my heartstrings were being torn apart ~ excited for my oldest's birthday, heartbroken for this family.

But my oldest, my little, baby girl did celebrate a birthday, she turned........twelve! Although she will tell you she is not my baby girl, she is and always will be. I can not believe it! You have got to be kidding me, It has not been twelve years! I could still tell you every single detail, but I will spare you! lol :P

I have tried to gather a few photos from over the years, well the ones I have digital!



Her first skating competition!


Her second year competiting!


Shelby's 7th birthday!


Their "portrait" from last year. (It is so much easier to take photos of other peoples children!)


My family sends their thoughts and prayers to Garret's loved ones. It is so unfair for someone so young to be taken away so suddenly.
