The scent of Ivory Snow fills the house as tiny little girl clothes are re-discovered in their rubbermaid boxes. Memories flood my mind of what it was like to hold my firstborn, and what my second daughter looked like in this pretty Christmas dress. What a gift to be able to do it again.

I'll be sure to give you all a peek when the nursery is done.
Yes!! I want to see!

Oh, whew - I was just thinking I would love to see a picture sometime! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that smell, too - so full of promise!
I am praying for you, friend. Really.
