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."

Happy Reformation Day!

Happy Halloween! Or as we now prefer to celebrate in our house - Happy Reformation Day! My older daughter's favorite person in history is Martin Luther. It was on this day in 1517 that Luther nailed his "95 Theses" to the castle church door in Wittenburg, Germany. This document was a list of things that Luther believed needed reforming in the Catholic church.

I'm sure many of you are familiar with this hymn that Luther wrote - "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God." It begins:

A mighty fortress is our God,
a bulwark never failing;
our helper he, amid the flood
of mortal ills prevailing.


Lilly's outfits in today's pictures are from my aunt and cousin who wanted to be sure she was dressed in traditional orange and black.
