She cried when I first put it on her and forget even wearing the pretty hat that went with it. She screamed when I put that on her! We had a small luncheon at our house following the ceremony. Just a few photos taken on that day..............
Our very blessed family..........
Our little miracle.............
Get this hat off of me now!
