.............she takes my breath away.
Getting pictures of Cortney is difficult. Very difficult. I know it may not seem like it since I post many here.....but it is. Her head is heavy. She drools. She has nystagmus which makes her eyes bounce around a lot. She loves showing her tonsils on a regular basis. So when I snap a photo like this. Wow. What I see everyday, her blue eyes, her flawless skin, her gorgeous face, I am able to show the world, and you can see what I see.
I also have to mention that her 13 year old brother was perfect on graduation night. He presented her flowers to her after she received her diploma. He posed for pics all night without grumbling. And again.........a perfect picture of my two children. (Makes my heart go pitter patter!!!!)
This is what has kept me from crafting lately. This group right here. My family. I love them to pieces......I am blessed beyond measure. This is what it's all about. Right here.
My Aunt Pat took this photo of my two with her camera phone. I love the joy on their faces!
And this last photo, is Cort and her teacher, Miss Amber. Cortney adores her! And lucky for us, I think the adoration is mutual!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for letting me share my family with you once again! I will have more craftiness to share soon! Have a wonderful Thursday!!!

She looks beautiful esp. in that super fab dress. And all the flowers around her in that pic means you better get to scrapping! Congrats Cort!
ReplyDeleteShe is absolutley beautiful and your pictures are amazing. Sometimes it is nice to see photos of the family instead of a card or scrapbook page. It helps build that connection we all feel we have with each other through the internet.

These pictures make me cry tears of joy, because they are so beautiful! Now I need to grab a kleenex. What a beautiful middle school graduate she is!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is beautiful! I just finished working with a student that also has CP and he graduated from the eighth grade last Thurs. I cried all day, it was like sending one of my own children off into the world. It is amazing at what you learn from these children that others cannot ever teach you; unconditional love, patience, persistance, etc...
ReplyDeleteMichele,
