Hello! I just left a comment but forgot to mention a “slice of life I enjoyed today.” When I think of it there are SO many! The first one that comes to mind is whatching my two li’l loves just enjoying being together and being in love! I have a little boy that is 6 and a little girl that is 2. They both play so good together and kiss and hug all day! I love watching them be in love!

Well, the best reason I can come up with is the same as many others – it has been a number of years since we have had a family photo taken, and even then, they were all snapshots. We have NEVER had a professional photo taken of the four of us – only of our boys when they were much smaller.

However, after reading Krista Carroll’s comment — mine doesn’t hold a candle to hers. Please choose her…

I’m a little emotional as I attempt to explain my “slice of life” moment and why I am mustering my courage to possibly win a family photo shoot. I have a little piece of heaven sitting on my lap. He’s almost 5 months old and I am soaking up each and every moment with him. He is our rainbow baby, which is the baby you have after you lose a baby. Our 4th child was born with anencephaly. We had 23 precious hours with her before she passed away. It took us another 2 years before we were able to get our rainbow baby. I’ve learned that everyday is a gift. Literally, not just the cute signs that say that, every single day truly is a gift. Everyday I get to gaze into my baby’s beautiful eyes, hear his cute little laugh, listen to his charming coos, and hold him in my once empty aching arms is a gift. I couldn’t be more blessed. I have other little blessings too, ages 10, 8, & 6. Here comes the “mustering my courage” part. I haven’t been able to bring myself to have our family picture taken yet with the newest addition to the family. There is a part of me that is not wanting to have that family photo moment knowing that one of my children will be missing from the photo. I can’t stand the thought of moving past our last family photo with our angel baby, but on the other hand I want a family picture with our newest little baby in it too. I know we can’t go through the rest of life never having a family picture just because we’re missing someone. Maybe this will be an opportunity to help me make that next step in healing and have the courage to have our family photo taken.
