Three years ago today.....

....Addison silently entered our lives. I know I have been changed forever by her life and her death. So today, we celebrated our sweet little girl. We miss you baby.

When we got up, I told Tanner that today was Addison's birthday. All day he asked me questions....how old would she be? why did she die? Are you sad she died Mommy? At the cemetary he asked where he'd be buried when he died.

We had dinner, went to the cemetary where we released balloons and then came home for cake!

I asked Adylin where the balloons went?!?!

We took a little windmill for Addison and Matthew wanted it so bad!!!



MMMMM....cake. We went home and had cake. The babies fell asleep, so they missed out, but our friend Sam came over and shared with us.

I love what you did to celebrate Addison. We also had a cake on Evie's birthday. I think it will be a yearly tradition. Thinking of you. (((HUGS)))

I still vividly remember the day I got your message about losing Addison. I wasn't even a mother yet, but I cried and cried for your loss. I can't imagine what you've been through.

*hugs*hugs*hugs*

It's a good thing we cleaned the area up the week before...

Tanner is getting to the age to ask the questions.

YUMMY looking cake...

I shed a tear for Addison again...not to many...just one or two.

That is so sweet! I love how you continue to acknowledge her with your family phrase--three in our arms, four in our heart. By the way I'll be emailing you because London wants to get together again!
