My little girl: then & now (show-off time/picture parade op!)
Juliana had her first birthday 2 weeks ago, so we took her to have her first professional portraits taken. We just received them yesterday. Here's one of my favorites, along with her referral picture for a "before and after" set. I love this little girl!
 Who else wants to add a "before and after" of their precious children??

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! She is absolutely beautiful. I love seeing pictures like this because it gives me hope for the future....this PGN wait is so draining emotionally...especially since the holidays are FAST approaching.

Thank You!
Thank you all for taking the time to post the before and after pictures. It is truly amazing to see the transformation. Time really flies doesn't it? Every one of those babies is beautiful and it made my day to see them. Thank you

I love seeing pictures! All the children are so beautiful! Our oldest daughter, now 23 months old, had some surgeries when she was 1 month old...so, in her referral picture she was only 6 lbs. at 4 months old. You'll notice in the newest pictures (yes, I had to include 2 pictures...couldn't decide which one to post) that God has totally healed her little body and she's caught up developmentally (Praise the Lord!!).
I'll do a different post for our twin daughters.
