I thought I would have to teach my daughter about the world; turns out I have to teach the world about her. They see a girl who doesn't speak,
I see a miracle who doesn't need words.

Here Comes The...

Junior Bridesmaid and a lot of pictures!!  Yesterday we went with my mom and Jennifer to pick out Alex's Junior Bridesmaid dress for Jennifer's wedding.


I don't know what else to say except that it was a great time.  Alex was so cooperative and really enjoyed the whole experience.  She was so good and I loved every minute of it. 







When we took her out of the dressing room and put her in front of all the mirrors she looked at herself and started smiling.  It was priceless.





Here's the bride and Alex in the dress we picked out.  She looked beautiful.  I honestly never thought that I would have the opportunity to dress shop for Alex like that.  It's an amazing gift that Jennifer gave us asking Alex to be a part of her special day.  It's a true testament to what an amazing person Jennifer is and just how big her heart is.  I'll never be able to begin to tell her what this means to me.



 After we got the dress we went to out to lunch to celebrate.  It really was just the best day...ever!
