The story of our precious little girl's 17 months of life with Trisomy 18 (July 4, 2010 - December 15, 2011) and of us, re-learning to live "after Lilly."
"I will praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made ...." Psalm 139:14

Priceless smiles


Lilly wore her new Christmas dress to church today. The arm length was enormous on her, but since it had elastic at the wrists, it was fine - it just looked like giant puffed sleeves. Dressing Lilly is like dressing a baby doll.

Lilly also had on her red Mary Janes which were knitted by our friend K. Great news about K. and her husband - they just received a newborn to adopt a few weeks ago. K's Etsy store sells knitted Mary Janes, among other items. All profits go to support orphans and adoptions. Please check out: http://www.etsy.com/shop/craftingadoptions

Lilly was so happy and smiled so much in church today that it made me want to burst into [happy] tears. (And wish I had had my camera with me!)

"May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace." - Numbers 6:25-26 (New Living Translation)
