Every day I thank God for my precious daughter, Liliana. She brings so much joy and laughter to our life. Each time I look at her sweet little face, I think to myself, "I am so fortunate." When I hear the funny (and sometimes quite impressive) phrases that fall from her lips, I am humbled that the Lord chose to entrust us with this darling child.Just this morning, Liliana danced around the kitchen asking for her vitamin. Jokingly, I asked, "How many would you like?" After a short pause (obviously contempating her answer) she excitedly said, "Thirty-nine!" Incidentally, that was the first time she stated a number higher than twenty.
At only 2 & 1/3, Liliana loves to be a "big helper" with household chores. She enjoys cooking, baking, washing dishes, and doing laundry. Although I know her affinity for the domestic arts will not continue past puberty, it's great fun to watch her imitate Mommy around the house.
Today, I give thanks for my wonderful family, especially our little miracle, Liliana.

she really is a miracle, and a beautiful one at that! it's amazing how miscarriage makes us hold tight to and appreciate our precious children even more. glad you are enjoying her so much and that she is such a blessing.
I could EAT Liliana UP!! She looks totally precious in her little apron! I miss her! (and ya'll too, of course ;)
I read your friend Kate's blog page, (or whatever you call it!) and noticed she likes Aaron Shust...you'll have to tell her we just had dinner with him and his wife a couple of weeks ago!! He is an awesome Believer as well as an awesome singer! (OK, so he's really Tim's friend!)
We (the girls group) continue to lift you in prayer, Ramona! You're in our thoughts daily.

Hi "Ana" this is Stuart. I like to look at your picture on the computer. I look forward to swimming with you this Thursday.
You're cute! I had my mom buy new swim trunks for our date. My old trunk kept coming down. Opps! I think you will like my new hip ones.

This is my first time on your blog. I am in awe of you. You share your story with such a wonderful outlook. I think of you and your family everyday. You are in my prayers. Liliana is sooooo sweet and I am sure that just looking at her can make you smile. So, anytime you need a pick me up, just look at her, if she is asleep, playing, dancing, or just being silly. She is your light. Stay warm. Stay sweet. Stay positive. God Bless.
