9 months

today we remember. and mourn. and hope. and weep.

words are not enough to express our grief. the loss of this day, ten years ago, is insurmountable.

for us all, september 11th is a day that marks a horrific tragedy…

… BUT where there is sadness, joy sneaks in. where there is darkness, there is light.

today, lyncoln and quinn turn nine months old.

i remember the fear of their day-to-day, moment-by-moment. but I also remember the prayers and hope and love and support that you gave to them, to us.

my dearest lyncoln,

i am overcome with absolute joy for exactly who you are. your bravery and strength make me want to be a better person. your sweet, goofy smile makes me melt. your babbling makes me laugh. you are such a brilliant light in our lives, lynci... bright enough to illuminate the darkest of darknesses :-)

happy 9 months, lynci <3





my lovey quinn,

even though we joke that you are our drama quinn, we are in awe of your spirited little self. your smile lights up the universe and your sweetness is as juicy as a georgia peach :-) i love every part of you- your curiosity, your excitement, your belly laugh.

happy 9 months, quinnie <3




we are so very glad you're here.
