A Big Day for Holden

No one should have to wait 14 months to introduce their baby to family and friends. But, we did what we had to do to protect Holden from any unnecessary colds or sicknesses. So yesterday was such an exciting day for me, as a "Mommy" to finally be able to have everyone give Holden the hugs, kisses and cheek pinching he's missed out on all these months. We had the party at Hilltop Pavilion at Stone Mountain Park. The weather was gorgeous and the staff at the Park did a fabulous job making sure it was a day we'll never forget! We had a DJ playing kids music and games, a jumper, bubbles, craft activities, volleyball and more! I loved watching all the kids having fun, but most of all, I loved watching Holden's face as he met all of you. Below are a several pictures from the day. Thank you to everyone who came to the party. And those who have not yet met Holden, hopefully we can get together soon! XOXOXO

Saying Good-bye is hard to do...

I plan to do two posts today. More later about Holden's party. I thought it was first important to share with you that Holden's friend, Lily, went to be with the Lord last Tuesday. Her mother said she went quickly and peacefully. We went to the visitation and funeral. She looked beautiful. She was dressed in an adorable yellow dress with a little yellow bow in her hair - as SpongeBob was her favorate character! Although extremely sad, the service was beautiful! I ask that you keep her family in your thoughts and prayers.
