It's Happening!

Long before the quiet days of being pregnant, and the hours of hard labor. Long before the sleepless nights followed by days of never ending bliss for this new little life in my arms...I had a dream. A dream to show a child..my child the emense magical nataure of our planet. As my sweet Louisa is leaving her baby days behind for percious memories and digital photos. She is changing, changing into a little lady, and little lady that needs to jump, slip, fall, cry, laugh, hug, kiss, and learn!
The most wonderful part is I get to teach her!! Teach her about turtles, frogs, snakes, leaves, kitties, horses. It is happending, it hit me today. She wanted to play on mossy rain soaked beach log that we never moved out of our yard. She loved it wanted to stand, on it, fall off it, crawl on it, how sweet she is. She seemed so grown up this afternoon. How exciting, it is happening I am teaching a child....my child about the emense magical nature of our planet. The best part is that this is just the start!!

I love it!! This seems like the reason to have a baby, to be able to teach it all the wonderful things about our world. I knew you would be wonderful at it! Miss you guys so much.

The wonder of our world, the beauty of nature, and the joy of parenthood!
Louisa is a very special precious little one. She has so much to learn and her parents are the first and most important teachers. Continue to enjoy one of life's most important and rewarding jobs. Thanks for the pics, they are great. We miss all of you.
Love, Dave and Julie

There are tears welling up in my eyes after seeing these beautiful photos and reading your inspiring words. Louisa needs to see this some day. You are truly a wonderful mother, and as your mother I learn more about life as you learn about life as Louisa learns about life.....
We are so blessed - you and Heather and Kevin and I to have these wonderful little wonders in our lives.
