A few days ago, I posted this video, which was produced by a guy named Adam in South Carolina. Here is another story that will inspire your faith in God when things don’t work out the way you planned or expected.
Thanks Adam! Your work is inspiring and faith-building.
Earlier this week, Lana, Lauren and I each wrote letters to Hope. Without knowing it, we wrote letters that fit nicely together into one birthday note to Hope. Here it is:
Hope, you are loved by your family and you always will be! Happy 1st birthday!
Several photos at 11 days old were taken by Beth from sugarrushphotography.com. Thanks Beth!
We hope you are enjoying your Thanksgiving Day! We’re having a great time in New York with NY Grandma & Grandpa, Uncle Steve (my brother), Aunt Sarah, Cousin Nathan, my aunt and my grandmother.
Thank you all for walking this journey with us and for supporting us through a challenging year.
Here is a reposting of Lauren’s Turkey Song from last year. Enjoy!
I haven’t captured much video during the past few months since Carmen died. Occasionally, Lana reminds me that Hope is almost a year old and that these moments will never be relived or recaptured. Yet I just haven’t had the desire or will to pull out the camera.
But after I saw this on Friday, I was determined to not let another weekend pass without capturing at least a few unmemorable moments with my girls. So enjoy the out-of-focus, snot-running-down-Hope’s-nose, gum-hanging-out-of-Lauren’s-mouth and booty-ful shots that made for just another day!
Carlos, thank you for the reminder that sometimes you just need to pull out the camera and shoot! When you capture an ordinary day…you just might witness some extraordinary love.
More video letters coming soon!
