Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day



In honor of my 100th post I wanted to share with you
that today is pregnancy and infant loss day.



I want to share the love, prayers and support
to those of you who have experienced
the devistation of pregnancy or infant loss.
Please always know that you can express how you feel and
how you are coping with your loss with me.
I always have an ear that will listen and a
shoulder for you to cry on.
I will never act as if I understand how you are feeling,
but I will be here to hold you and listen as you go
through the most difficult time of your life.

With that said I want to share the following links....

SHARE



Below are several books I encourage anyone to read who
has faced loss, misscarage or infertility.
Also great for those who have never been there,
but have close friends and family
walking these roads.





For those of you facing fertility issues visit this site for encouragement


Blessing and prayers,
Jenny H

Sweet 16 Sweet Adrianna

Happy 16th birthday my sweet Adrianna!!!
I can remember the day you were born.
Your mom laughed the whole time she was in labor.
She worked so hard to bring you into this world and
sweet girl, you were worth it to her and to us.
I remember crying the first time I held you.
I could not contain my tears, you were so
perfect and wanted.
I had prayed so many nights that God
would bless my brother and sweet sister-in-law
with a child, and now you were finally
in our lives forever.
This is one of the first times I remember God
answering a prayer.
I was 12 at the time you were born and
I wanted nothing more than to help with you.
Little did I think about you growing up, but I
am reminded of it now every time I
see your maturing face.
You have an amazing spirit about you...
Your determination is like no other.
You are timid and meek at first then once you warm up
you are spunky and full of life!
You have a dear heart for God and
sharing His love.
You have blessed me on so many occasions with
a verse from the Bible at what was always the right time.
You helped me through the most difficult time in my life.
You have an incredible destiny.
I want to encourage you to reach for the stars
 and set your goals high in life.
For I know that what ever you set your mind to..
with God's strength.. you will accomplish it!
Have the audacity to ask God, like Joshua did, for the
sun to stand still, and live in your faith that He 
gave you this life to impact the Kingdom
for Him!
I am proud of you sweet girl and
it would take me hours to list all your wonderful
attributes so I will sum it up by saying this...
I love being your Aunt and part of your life.
I am on the outside looking in and I see and
amazing women of God that
if finding her place in life.
I am filled with excitement knowing that you will
make wise decisions and maybe a few
not so wise, but I have confidence that you will
discern when you do and learn from your failures.
Know I am always here for you and
praying for God's voice
to be present with you
always. 

All my love,
Aunt G-G

All things Fall


This picture makes me laugh out loud!

It was our first Halloween party in 2006 at our new home.
We, Falicity Shagwell and Dr. Evil,
invited Joe Dirt,
2 random thugs and a gothic girl,
the Milk Man and his baby momma,
Captain Sparrow and Elizabeth Swan.
We had a blast!

This year I am skipping the annual party because of our trip,
but next year I will plan again and have little man on the front of our invites...
ahhhhhhh I can't wait!
