Book: Psalm 139:13-16Verse: "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works at wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."

I just love those real life pictures! We have several pictures like that of our oldest daughter. Such beautiful curls take a little work ;). PS - love the pictures of the kids on your sidebar.
She's so beautiful! I love her soft curls!
LOVE the crazy hair!!! Hey, you still need to send me the name of your products!
Helena is sooo cute she could actually pull that hair-do off! All of your kiddos look and sound great. Can't wait to see you and your gang at the reunion!!
Very cute! so this is what I have to look forward to...hmmm, I may be calling you for hair advice! :)
Soooo cute!!! What a precious doll-baby. :)

Her hair is SO adorable. I had to laugh as that is so often how Helinas hair looks. We call it her "crazy hair":). Helena is such a pretty thing Chris!
Take care!
