This dress is a hand-me-down and I am glad I finally put it on her - the back would barely button!!! I just couldn't resist taking some pictures this morning. I go a little nuts if I haven't taken a picture of her in a few days.
I feel bad for Sophia - poor thing was second born so there are a multitude of pictures of Jordan and Avery, but not many of Sophia as a baby. I have a lot of her now, but not many of her as a baby. I am glad Jason was able to take alot of those pictures of the kids with him to our house. Call me crazy, I even insisted on keeping his wedding album from his first marriage. She didn't want it and neither did he. But one day, Sophia looked at it and said, "Daddy, you were married to my mom?" And it made me sad. I want them to know that at one time, their mommy and daddy were happy and that they were married. The kids were 4 and 1 when Jason and Kristin got divorced and Jordan remembers a little of them being married, but Soph remembers nothing. We also kept an album of one of their vacations. It's just important to me that they can see some of their history at our house, and that includes their mom and their dad, together.
HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND!!!!

Second off-you have NO idea how much those pictures will mean to the two older children when they're older. My husband's parents had a NASTY divorce when he was little-and without going into too much detail, there is NOTHING of the two of them together except a few baby pictures of him. When we found those baby pictures he got all teary-eyed and said to me, "look, they really were happy with each other"...it made me CRY! They divorced when he was 5 and he said all he can remember is his mother screaming and slamming doors a lot. I think you are an incredibly strong woman for doing this for your step-children!
