One Year Ago

One year ago they told us we were having a little girl. We named her Victoria Michelle.

One year ago they told us she would not live longer than 2 weeks. She lived 6 more weeks.

One year ago God seemed far away. He was there all the time.

One year ago my faith and belief in God was shaken. It did not crumble - it got stronger.

Time flies by quickly! It is hard to believe a year has gone by. My heart hurts to think that in 6 short, yet long, weeks she will have been gone for one year.

Oh how I miss my sweet baby girl, Toree. So many times we go somewhere and I think, "Toree should be here with us." She may not be here but praise God she is tucked away safely in His loving arms.

QVC

Quality - Value - Convenience

Today we took a tour of the QVC Studio Park in West Chester, PA. Chris is off of work for the week and his mom is here visiting for Thanksgiving. So off we all went - Chris, his mom, me and the Little Man. Boy, props to all you moms out there!! This is the first time that we have taken the Little Man somewhere "far" (1 hour) away for an all day excursion. I probably took more than what was necessary but I was quite nervous on not having something that he needs. Needless to say, he did fine and didn't starve or have a diaper blow out. Whew!

The tour was quite informative to the non QVC-er and the cool part was we got to go out on a catwalk over the studio being shown on TV live. Of course, Chris and I had to take turns going out there because the Little Man decided that he would be as loud as he could in the "Quiet Please" section. You would think he could read already.

There is also a store there although I, personally, was disappointed with its semi-small size. Chris and I didn't get anything, but Chris' mom did buy several Christmas presents.

We then drove to the King of Prussia Mall to eat lunch and check out the clearance section in DSW. No buys there either.

Thursday Chris' brother and sis-in-law will be coming up for Thanksgiving along with their little yappy dog, Giddy. I'm thankful to be able to sleep in on Thursday and Friday!!
