A little baby blessed our lives
And that baby was you
We loved you with all we had
We hope you know that's true
A beautiful little girl
Made perfect by God's hands
You changed our lives forever
As part of His big plan
You came into the world
Without even a cry
Why you left so soon
Only God knows why
We gazed and held you close
While we had you here
Every day we ache for you
And cry our silent tears
We'll hold you in our heart
Every single day
We'll be together soon
This, dear God, we pray
They both got the books pretty quickly and were happy to get them and quite surprised too! When we returned for a visit I was able to see my parent's book and it turned out really well. I know I would love to put all her pictures in a photobook but that would prolly be a pretty expensive endeavor! I have her scrapbooks anyways and you can't really beat something made with love by a mommy's hands.
The first book is my parent's and the second book is Anthony's parent's.

That is so lovely, Holly. Those are wonderful gifts.
I did something similar with Maddie's ultrasound for my husband for Father's Day - it was actually before we lost her, but it is so nice to have now.
What a heart felt gift Holly. They're beautiful! Carleigh is such a sweet little girl.
beautiful books, I love the poem.
These books are beautiful - what a thoughtful gift! I loved the poem you wrote. I also liked yesterday's post of photos. Hope you are feeling well.

It is beautiful Holly! We did somthing similar for our parents over Christmas. It made me feel better, like now she has soemthing the other kids will get too.

What wonderful gifts!
Beautiful gifts and a beautiful poem. Thank you for sharing that. I love that idea.
I love the poem! What a beautiful and thoughtful gift from your heart to theirs!
I don't comment often but I had to let you know how beautiful I think those books came out. You are so very lucky to have some many different photos of your baby girl. I really hope both of your parents appreciate such a wonderfully touching gift.

These albums are absolutely beautiful. What a beautiful keepsake.
I just did the same thing! I personalized a few pages for my mom and then changed them to different pictures for my mother in law. I just gave my mother in law hers tonight and she loved it! My mom will get hers tomorrow. Next time Shutterfly has a sale or I have a good coupon I will make another for myself! It was good therapy though to make them. It made me feel like I was doing something very special for my son.
Holly, the photobooks are beautiful! BTW when you get a minute, stop by my blog, there is a suprise there for you in honor of Carleigh! Happy Valentines!
What a great idea...so thoughtful of you! I'm sure the grandmas cried!
I love that poem. It is so beautiful!
