Sweet visit...
This weekend we came to McKinney for a soccer tourney for my twin daughters. I remember that sweet Mary Grace Summons family lived somewhere near here so I sent an email to see if we could meet. Kim is such a sweet lady with three beautiful daughters. Mary Grace who is listed on the sidebar of Annabel's blog was born a year ago with Trisomy 18 and has gone home to be with Jesus. She is such a beautiful little girl and touch many lives in her short time on this earth. She has two of the sweetest big sisters. They are so precious and were so sweet to Annabel during our visit today. Kim, it shows what an awesome mommy you are through these two girls. They were so patient as we visited and they took part in the conversations and kept Annabel entertained with hugs, singing songs and playing hand games with her. She was not her usual happy self, I think just out of sorts with the traveling thing. Allison and Kailey brought her a webkins pink platypus and she is snuggled up with it tonight in her crib. Kailey said the sweet thing when she arrived about how she had told her friends at school that she was going to get to go see Annabel Grace today! As you can tell from these picture that love just oozes from these beauties! Thank you Kim, for making our day today. You drove much farther than I did just so Annabel and I could meet your family. Praying for your safe and peaceful delivery!

These girls are just the cutest, all three of them. Kims girls are growing so fast. And what a blessing to meet Kim face to face. I am so glad you guys were able to meet and exchange many hugs. I love you all!!
Love and Hugs, Laurie
Connie,
Today in service during the praise music I couldn't stop praising God for Annabel Grace! We have always prayed for her, checked on her and thought of her but actually getting to meet her is undescribeable. I just wanted you to know that I am so thankful that you called to get together with us. Another sweet baby that Mary Grace has brought to us has changed us yet some more!
With love,
Kim
What a GREAT meeting! I keep up with both of you - so this was a treat to see! Hope all is good with you and your family! Good to see Annabel feeling better! Keeping you all in our prayers!
They all look so sweet together. God Bless these girls and their parents for suffering such a loss.

Your daughter is precious! Keeping her in prayer.
