Here's a little peek for you Mama "R"...

More than just Mama "R".... R is a true friend to me. We've known eachother since well...2003 when we met at church shortly after I married my DH, moved here, and we started attending Bethany. (Oh my!! That's almost five years now!) R is someone who when sits down with me in the car asks me "how are ya doing Rosie...like how are ya really doing? Like with the Lord - how are ya really doing?" She cares not only about how I am doing/feeling/holding up as a mom, wife, friend, sister, and other aspects of my life...but about THE most important relationship in my life...the one that is the source of life, energy, love, and well...everything I need to be who I need to be in all the other important relationships in my life. She asks the "tough" question that most friends might shy away from figuring it might be too deep...too imposing...too much. Ya know what R? I know you really love me because you ask....I thank you for being the special friend that you are and that you care so much for me. I hope and pray that these images capture just even a bit of how special little S reallyreally is....

Gosh, she's sweet isn't she? R, I can remember capturing her essence when she was about a week old.....the way she laid in your arms and folded her little hands like she was praying...and the way she laid on that white teddy bear....too precious. And here she is such a big girl. My goodness how time flies.
