Good Friends

Every year since we were sophomore's in high school our little group would get together for an ornament exchange.  Over the years the group has gotten smaller and it has been harder to get us all together but we still try.  Crazy thing is out of the 8 of us that were really close in high school 4 are pregnant.  This year only Sarah, Alyson and Brooke could make it but it was so wonderful getting to catch up with them all.  

Brooke lost her precious Lucy back in August and I couldn't wait to hug her neck and give her the Mamie's Poppy Plate transfer plate I had done for her.  It turned out so beautiful.  Brooke I love you and I hope this plate will forever bring a smile to your face knowing your sweet girl is in God's arms.

Introducing Mamie's Poppy Plates

As you all know, I am Mamie's mom, and Mamie was my first child.

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...

VBS

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 :)
