Julie,
The slide show is precious. When I finished mine and watched it, I just sat there and cried. I am so thankful for the husband/daddy God gave us and I know you feel the same about Jeremy. When you look back at the older pictures of when the boys were born, it makes you realize just how short life is and how much we should cherish every moment! I get caught up in the "little things" that don't matter and forget how BLESSED I am. I enjoyed it!! Can't wait to meet the newest Hardy Boy!
Sweet, sweet, sweet...and Happy Birthday to Jeremy!!
The poem and pictures are so sweet! What a good daddy!!
It's such a blessing to have a wonderful father for my boys...I know you feel the same way! The slideshow is great! Can't wait to meet Abram!
