We moved into a new house in May and got our first EVER family pictures taken this fall. I wanted to blow up a family picture on canvas for above the fireplace. It turned out so great but I look at this picture and feel like something is missing, someone is missing.
We are done having biological children so I know our family is as complete as it will get here on earth (unless we choose to adopt at some point). After Izzy was born I would look at pictures of Brad, her and myself and not feel the whole "incomplete" feeling because I knew we weren't done having kiddos. Since have had Kylie and there is still a kiddo missing it makes me a little sad to see that picture above the fireplace. I wish it could be of all three of my kiddos.
I took this picture for a friend and added in a silhouette of a boy about her son's age who she lost many years ago. I think I would like to do something like this once the girls are a little older and add in a silhouette for Liam. As complete of a family picture as we will ever be able to get.
Christmas
I got the new house decorated for Christmas and finally for the first time ever hung up all three of my kiddos stockings. We had very fun unique stocking as kids, they were bears with overalls and that is where you could put stuff. So soon after Brad and I got married I found these three stockings on sale after the holiday's and knew I had to get them. Knowing my whole life that I wanted to have three kiddos, these stockings were perfect.
Another thing that is bitter-sweet to see up. It makes my heart happy to know that I was blessed to have the three children I had always wanted but also sad that Liam will never be able to use this stocking. I will put it up every year and feel happy to have things like this that I can put up to continue to keep Liam as much a part of our lives as I possibly can.
Merry Christmas my precious Liam!
