If there’s one thing that Raine and I would agree on doing together in front of the computer…that would be browsing at his baby pictures.

And we’ve been doing that a lot lately, because Raine is mostly bugging me of what he was like as a baby, where we lived, who we were with, etc. Pictures help him relate to those people close to us but who isn’t with us these days, like his Lolo (who passed away) and of course the friends we left in LB.

Also, because I see Raine everyday, I often do not notice if he is really growing or if his looks have changed. Looking at old photos, I can see the difference and what similarities there are left.

Here are a few we’d like to share with you…

Behind each photo is a heartwarming story…an illustration of God’s amazing grace.

It wasn’t easy (still isn’t) but I am just grateful that I was there, survived it and allowed me to share Raine to those people who allowed me to, along the way.

Each day I am grateful for all the blessings, then and now, for the blessing that is Raine.

And each day I tell myself that if made I then , I’ll still make it now…whatever lies ahead. ;-)
