May 14, 2008, Momo's Miracle Day!

I don't think I have ever posted on this blog about Morgan's Miracle Day. We celebrated the 4 year anniversary of her special day on Wednesday, May 14th. Morgan drowned in our pool when she was just over 2 years old, on May 14th, 2005. We were given a miracle of our very own that day, when Morgan survived and was perfect in every way. We thank God for our miracle EVERY single day, but we especially try to remember it each year on the anniversary. It has become our tradition for Morgan to make a BIG cookie on May 14th. Well, this past Wed. that is just what we did. This year's flavor was a sugar cookie with M&Ms on top!! Yummy. I am also going to share a video montage I made last year. I have it posted on my personal blog but I added some new pictures from the past year and also a new song. The third song also holds a special memory for us. When Morgan was just a few months old, we saw Steven Curtis Chapman in concert. While he was singing the song, Fingerprints of God, Randy held Momo up over his head, and Steven Curtis Chapman pointed to her and sang the song to her!! I hope you enjoy the little slideshow of our miracle, our Momo Monkey. ( You may want to go to the bottom of the blog and stop the music player before playing the video.)

Here are Morgan, Sara and Ian getting ready to make the big cookie.


Rolling it out......


Adding the M&Ms on top!!




All ready for the oven.....








It is all baked now!! (Yes, she had changed clothes, she was getting ready to leave for church.)




My beautiful little miracle, my Momo Monkey. She is such a blessing to me. Her eyes are the bluest of blues and are always full of life and excitement, her smile could melt an iceberg. She loves to have fun and is always on the go. Those that know Morgan in person, know she has a personality all her own. She is so unique and some days, I will admit, can make for some tense moments, but I wouldn't trade a single one for anything in the world. It is those moments when I am reminded most that God has a big and special plan for my girl. He let me know that for sure on a day in May. I am so grateful that He chose to give her to us for a little longer, to raise her, and love her and teach her, in order for her to become the beautiful woman He has planned for her to be. I know she will accomplish everything she sets out to do and nothing will get in her way. Morgan will do whatever it is God has planned for her. I am blessed to be her mama. I love you Momo.

Dress Up!!

Randy has an old outfit he wore in one of his old bands in the late 70's/early 80's. On a whim one night, we had Aaron try it on. It fit!! He brushed his hair out and made it frizzy and we did a little photo shoot!! The Burger King crown....well, that seems to be Aaron and Chris's new fashion statement this month. They have been wearing them everywhere!! HAAHAHA!

Ian wanted in on the fun too. Here is his mean, angry face!! Chocolate and all!

It is hard to believe Randy wore this in his late 20's!! The pants were almost too tight for Aaron!!
