A Mother's Request


How could it be that our sweet baby has quietly slept away her newborn days? Tucked in her bassinet, swinging to the soft tunes of a lullaby, or gently being passed from hand to hand, her little legs have grown long. And behind those closed eyes she has learned to smile, coo and connect with our admiring gaze. 


Little Mia you have an entire lifetime to be big and strong. Please let us hold you close a little longer before you move on.

Thank you, thank you for the pictures of Miriam - she has grown so much, I need to hold her - come to Utah for a visit. Love you

Goodness, she has gotten so big from your last pictures! I love that she has kept all of her dark hair. Gracie has lost most of hers... Also, love her big eyes! She is beautiful and I need to hug her.... So I hope you all come out for Christmas!!!!!

Now this is what we've been waiting for! Camille, the picture of you holding her is priceless. I think she looks so sweet! This is a plea or more baby posts! We're so disappointed we haven't been able to meet her yet, but understand why we didn't get a summer visit from you. Hope your having a fun New England summer!

How fun to see Miriam/Mia now that she's old enough to have her own, distinctive "look." What a pretty little girl! Love, Mom
