Believe in Miracles

Today I was feeling a bit nostalgic as I came across some old photos of Lucas from when he had an extended stay in the NICU before he was able to come home.  When I look at these photos they seem more like yesterday rather than something that happened over a year ago.  It was during this time when I really understood what was meant when people told me, "Believe in Miracles" because we have one in Lucas that we thank God for every day.  I feel so lucky to have been trusted enough to be Lucas' mommy!  These photos will always be special to me and remind me of a time that was trying but yet amazing, that was tiring but very much worth it.  A time that will be forever engraved in my heart.  It is amazing how far we have come....and we will continue to believe!

Miracles happen everyday, change your perception of what a miracle is and you'll see them all around you.
