There is so much I see when I look at this pic. First of all it was taken on July 6, 2006. Little Miss Mary was just 4 days old. It was her blessing day! I took this picture lying in my hospital bed recovering from not only major surgery but from multiple blood transfusions as well (or as my brother called it: a total oil change). That Sunday was spent in my hospital room, including Mary's blessing. I have so many feelings towards that time in our lives (only four months ago!) that I still can't make sense of them all.
David always says he does so much better when the kids are a little older and he can wrestle with them and play with them. When they are this age he says he is just nervous even holding them, which makes me love that I could capture this. Even though I only seem to be able to "grow" mama's girls they still know who their dad is.

That was such a special day. After spending time with your family in the hospital, Dave and I again realized how fragile and precious life really is. We were amazed by your strength as parents. Dave's blessing for Mary was so sweet and inspirational. We were grateful to be there to witness it.
Kimmy,
Such a precious photo. You really captured a tender moment between daddy and daughter.
What a sweet picture. Mattie has that same gown. In fact, she came home from the hospital in it.
