Need some inspiration?

About 3 months ago I stumbled across THIS blog. This beautiful couple has a daughter, Preslee, who died at 18 months after falling into a canal and drowing. The great thing about Ashley is her positive yet realistic attitude, and her faith in our Heavenly Father's plan. I love stories like this of people who show courage and faith in times of great trial, and yet, it is the faith we all should have. I read a quote a few weeks ago that said something like "Courage doesn't always mean roaring loudly, sometimes it just means having the strength to get up and fight another day."
I am very grateful for her example of always getting up to fight another day, for showing gratitude in a time of adversity, and for having faith in Heavenly Father's plan for her.

Family Pictures






My fabulous mom took some family pictures of us up in Huntsville. Our sweet Elsie was so enthralled with her surroundings, she didn't smile for one picture. Luckily she was all sorts of happy for her 6 month pictures 2 days later. I may be a bit biased, but isn't she stunning?!
