>The other day I was sitting in the car with my two girls while we waited for Cory. Thea was cranky and tired in her car seat. Leila reached down into the space between the two car seats and grabbed a toy. She flipped the switch on and the maraca began to play music as Leila held it out across the back seat and handed it to Thea, “our baby.” Just one small example of what a wonderful sweetheart of a big sister Leila is.
Thank you Leila for making our family of four such a loving place to be.

"What I want to say to you is that sometimes life catches you by surprise and you feel unequipped to handle what it brings you, but every bit of life you've lived before that moment equips you to live through it. That's what I would give to you."
-Fanni Victoria Green-Lemons (talking to her daughter)
If there is any secret to this life I live, this is it: the sound of what cannot be seen sings within everything that can, there is nothing more to it than that.
"The most important thing she'd learned over the years was that there was no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one."

>Awwww! So sweet. The boys are always taking care of "our baby" too – it's so touching.
