Beautiful People

This is soooooo true. I'm thankful for the beautiful people in my life.

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."
— Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

The Little Girl Who Has Me Wrapped

Here's Lilee on her 6 month mark. I love the way she's looking at me. She has made our home so happy, and so complete. For years, when we'd be heading out the door, I'd do a head count and I'd always remark, "It feels like we're missing someone." Well, this is who we were missing.
