I love this picture

I just got a picture sent to me from a friend. When Gretta had her babies last Jan 16th I was all alone...DH out of town...I was with her all day before the delivery, waiting and watching. Some of my friends in the area knew she was close and I wasn't answering my phone while she was in labor and they got worried. So one of my friends sent her hubby (of course..too cold for her lol) to check on me. He came shortly after the delivery and helped me dip their navels. Well, today he sent this picture he had taken with his phone. He just happen to find it..it's his old phone. It brings back so many memories...when times were good. I look at myself (ok crying now) and wish I could go back in time. This picture was 3 days before my brother had the brain anyerism and my world turned upside down. But thank God I had these little ones to help me through a time that words cannot express how awful. Tim passed 2 weeks later.
So I just wanted to share this picture with you...from one of the happiest days of my life...this is what it looked like.

Such a sweet pic. What a great way to go back in time in your memory to "when all the world was right." So sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry about your brother.
I remember my first kids.Over 100 kids since. I am still anxiously(SP) awaiting my "thanksgiving" kids. I love the sweet snuggly little things.
