We just had the most beautiful flowers delivered from our dear friends Dustin and Ashley. We are so blessed to have so many people that care about us and our sweet Mamie.
Dustin and Ashley thank you so much. What a happy way to start my week. Love you guys - Sarah
As you all know, I am Mamie's mom, and Mamie was my first child. I was pregnant with her from October 2008 to June 25th, 2009 when she was born a sleeping angel (stillborn) two and a half weeks before her due date. Stillbirth and infant death are realities that too many parents face even today. Did you know that each year 1 in 115 babies delivered is stillborn? And 1 in every 102 newborns die before the age of 28 days old? Now, a year after losing Mamie, I have started Mamie's Poppy Plates, my organization providing keepsakes for parents who are not able to take their babies home from the hospital. Because handprints and footprints are something that we cherish as parents of children in Heaven or here on this earth, I wanted to find a beautiful way to preserve such a precious reminder of our babies. Your donation of $13 will provide a plate to bereaved families who are delivering at St. Vincent Hospital. Their baby’s birth stats, hand and footprints will be stampe...
Burke and Winnie just finished their first Vacation Bible School and they had a blast. I did as well :) I got to help in Burkes class which is always really interesting. There were about 20 3yr olds in there so it was WILD :) It was a fun 3 days of learning about how God is our light. We sang "This little light of mine" everyday and Winnie is trying so hard to sing it. She walks around the house with her little pointer finger up mumbling. I love it. - Sarah Winnie eating the stickers instead of putting them on her art piece :)
So beautiful! What a wonderful surprise! Love the new pics of the garden too. The water feature is perfect. Love you sis.
