Just Beautiful!

When Emily was a baby, I had someone do a pencil portrait. Here is a snapshot of it.

This picture was taken of Emily just after her Grandma Pat (Bill's mom) died. I always look at it and reminds me of Pat because I think Emily is looking up to heaven.

I always knew when we had a second child I would want another pencil portrait. I just didn't know who would do it. Well I found the perfect person - a fellow adoptive mom, Maia, to be (she is adopting a beautiful baby girl with cl/cp) who happens to be an wonderful illustrator. We just got Ricky's picture. It is beautiful and captures him perfectly.

We just now need to get it framed! This is a picture of the portrait that Maia sent us.
