I've been tagged by Dianntha at Ohio Farm Girl to share a photo of myself and tell you the story behind it. I thought since I have already shared a picture of me on my wedding day, I would show you the other Happiest Day of my Life.
After 5 years of infertility treatments, two operations, one miscarriage, 7 days in NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit), a million tears, and an infinite number of prayers from ourselves, family and friends in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and New Mexico......
We brought him home~

~That look is pure gratitude
Edited to add: The song, Brahm's Lullaby, is the one I would sing to him as an infant:
Lullaby and goodnight,
go to bed now and sleep tight.
Close your eyes and start to yawn,
pleasant dreams until the dawn.
When the sun lights the sky,
you will wake feeling spry.
Start your day with a smile,
life is really worthwhile.
Now I have to tag 3 others to play. You can post a past, present or future (I'd like to see someone pull that off) picture of yourself. It can even be a baby picture if you prefer. So I choose....Hmmmm let me see.....Julia at Chicken Scratch, Esther at Esther Sunday, and Michelle at Back Through Time. Have fun girls, and please don't hate me:)

You story is mine too...only a little short of 5 years and the neonatal came with boy number 3...
Sweet photo!
Since you just watched Chocolat I will ask because I can't remember...is there any reason I couldn't show it to our youth group? Any scenes that are racy or any bad language? I don't think so but sure as I trusted myself there would be something to embarrass me.
