...What else would you do for a 2nd birthday?!
Ramsey asked for donuts for breakfast so we took her to Oh Susanna's!
Then we celebrated Evie at her garden.
We had a picnic, a prayer, sang her Happy Birthday and released balloons.
It was a very special time with our close friends and family.
Sweet friends
We love all of you and are so blessed to have friends and family to support us, love Evie and want to honor her and keep her memory alive. Having all of these people with us on their birthday and during Ramseys party is what helped get us through the day.
Jonathan got Ramsey tickets to Sesame Street Live for her birthday and she LOVED it!
It was very entertaining and Ramsey danced and sang and even participated when they would tell her what to do. It made me real excited about starting to do these things with her, but then it also made me sad wishing Evie was there also.Ramsey is doing so much more these days, talking and repeating everything and developing the sweetest, silliest personality. I cant help but think what would Evie be doing now. I think this is what i am struggling with the most, the what might have beens. I missed her so much this weekend. Wishing i could sing Happy Birthday to her when i woke her up like i did last year, seeing her face while watching Elmo and watching her open her birthday presents. I have to remind myself what i read Thursday night..learn to rest is Gods presence. This is easier said than done for sure. My sweet friend Erica talked about being delightful and i think that is a great way to be and a great way to think about this weekend.
My daughter (now almost 30) got to see Sesame Street Live when she was 2 also.. And a happy birthday to Ramsey and Evie. I can't imagine how hard it but be to lose a your child but a twin is the constant reminder of what the other would be doing. That must really be hard on not just a daily basis but almost on a minute to minute basis. I'm praying for your hearts to heal but it really hasn't been that long and you have to deal with all the firsts.. I hope this all made sense.

I hope I am not over stepping any boundaries here, but where do you get all of your flags for Evie? My husband and I lost our infant son 7 weeks ago and I would love to have a flag with his picture on it. I heard your story a few months ago and I pray for you often! I am so sorry for the loss of Evie. Please know that people continue to pray for you and your family that have never even met you.
