PRESERVING PRECIOUS MEMORIES


Shadow box of Miss Talicee's clothes

When I first had Tyler, I wanted to keep the clothes that he came home from the hospital in. I also wanted to keep the first pair of shoes he ever wore. So I had his clothing put into a shadow box. I did this for each of the boys. Their boxes are small because when they came home, they were under 10 pds. I wanted to do this for Miss Talicee also. Since she was a lot bigger when we first got her, her box is a little bigger. This is the outfit and shoes she was wearing when she was placed into our arms. (teary eyed right now). What precious moments we have of that time. Now I have something to remember the very beginnings of all of my children's lives. What a precious gift. God is so good.
p.s.: Her box is now hanging on the wall with the other 3.
