Girls In Galveston

I was cleaning out some of my emails today and I found this precious picture for Whitney's name gallery that I never posted.  Its from my bestie, Tracy and her girls.  They spent Thanksgiving in Galveston and she sent me this back in November.  I love how Whitney's name is written in the sand on either side of Emi.  Aside from being my best friend in the whole wide world, we also share a super special bond because we found out we were pregnant on the same day!!!  Me with Whitney and her with sweet Bella.  (Bella's the little one in the pic.)  So Bella will always have a special place in my heart because she reminds me of that awesome day, and helps me to think what Whitney would be like at her age.  Thanks so much BFF... I LYMY!

Whitney's Name in Bean Bags

I made these alphabet bean bags for my nieces a few weeks ago.  Before I gave them to them, though, I took a few seconds to snap some pictures for Whitney's name gallery!  :)

From Idette in Kauai

My dear, sweet friend Idette sent me this beautiful picture from Kauai... I love it!  I love the flower used to "dot" the "i".  (Is it a frangy pangy flower?)  Gorgeous!  Thank you so much Idette!

From Erin

A couple of times, I've been blessed to make birth announcements for precious angel babies.  The women, families and babies I've met have touched my heart and changed my life.  As I spent time creating each birth announcement, and perfecting it to the mother's liking, I prayed for their families, the lives they touched.  One person I was blessed to meet through that was a fellow angel mum to Christian, Erin.  She sent me this beautiful picture from a recent trip to Gulf Shores, AL.  I am continually in awe of the amazing people I meet on this journey... a journey I would never have chosen for myself but have been blessed beyond belief beause of it.  Here's the picture she sent:

Beautiful, right?!  Thank you so much, Erin for thinking of me and Whitney Jill.  We will never forget your Christian, either! :)  Love you friend!

New Name Gallery Pic!

It has been forever since I've had a new picture for WHitney's name gallery.  My dear, sweet friend Caitlin took this one for me today.  Thank you so much!  I absolutely love it.  It was taken in Tortilla Flats, AZ.  She said the crazy thing was that there was only ONE tag for Whitney and ONE tag for Jill!

Caitlin said this on her Facebook when she posted the pic: For sweet Whitney Jill Wilson, always with us every where we go.

She surely is.  In our hearts, our minds, our spirits.  She is always with us.  Thanks for remembering, friend. :)

From Robin in Jamaica!

My friend, Robin recently sent me this picture she took for Whitney's name gallery while on vacation in Negril, Jamaica.  Sounds like a great time... Sean and I have been to Ocho Rios, Jamaica and LOVED it.  It means so much to us that you guys still remember Whitney.  In no way has Gianna replaced Whitney in our hearts, nor will she ever fill that gap in our family, and we are especially grateful for our friends and family who still remember to mention Whitney to us.  Thank you for this picture, Robin!!  :)

Whitney In Roma!

My good friend from High School, Kristina lives in Europe.  She and her husband recently spent a few days in one of my favorite cities in the world... Rome!  She was actually there on Whitney's birthday, and knew how much I love Italy.  She asked me a couple of days before her trip if there was anything special she could do for us to remember Whitney while they were in Rome on her birthday... I said "of course"!  So she took a picture for WHitney's name gallery in front of the Trevi fountain and threw some coins in.  If you've never seen the 1954 Academy Award-winning movie, "Three Coins In The Fountain", you really must!  Dean Martin even sang the song from the movie for the Oscar Awards that year. (YouTube it! Its fantastic!) I had to search Amazon years ago to get the movie in VHS... but it is SO worth the hunt!   Great flick... one of my all-time faves.  

ANYWAYS.... here's the pic she took for us!  I LOVE IT!  Thank you so much, Kristina!  We cannot wait to take Gianna Rome some day and throw her own coins in the fountain!!

Sweet Little Ladybug- From Alice

A good friend of our family, Alice, made this for us months ago... and I completely forgot to add it to Whit's Name Gallery!  I'm sorry Alice!  I absolutely LOVE this beautiful cross-stitch bookmark... although I'm not using it as a bookmark right now.  It was just too pretty... more like a piece of art, so we framed it!  I love how delicate the border on this is, and of course, the sweet little ladybug is perfect!

Thank you so much Alice!!

Canada Represent! From Annie

A blog reader, Annie just sent me this great name picture for Whitney's gallery.  She is from Milton, Canada and noticed that WHitney didn't have any representation from Canada in her name gallery, so she created this on the computer for us!

I love it!  Thank you so much for taking the time to create this for us, Annie!

Love these Name Photos!

Whitney's first birthday is fast approaching.  (February 11)  I have a couple of "fun" things planned, but I am still working on it... I will share it with you soon!  There is even a way that you can be a part of Whitney's First Birthday Celebration-- no matter where you live in the world!  So stay tuned for that....  :)

Over the past year, many of you have sent me pictures for Whitney's name gallery... and let me just tell you, I LOVE THEM!!!  I treasure each and every one of them, as well as each and every one of you who took the time to snap a picture of our baby girl's name. 

For Whitney's birthday, I would love to get even more name pictures to add to her gallery.  I am hoping to someday put together a book of all the pictures of her name, and the special people who sent them to us.  So, one way that you can join Sean and I in remembering Whitney on her first birthday is to take a picture of her name and send it to me!  My email is:  sheyennew (at) gmail (dot) com.  Here is just a sampling of the beautiful pictures we've received this past year:

  
 
Whitney's name has been written beaches from North Carolina to Long beach, Egypt to Hawaii, and St. John's to Ocho Rios!
 
 
 Her name has been written on flower petals and tree trunks, easter eggs and walls, lollipops and legos.
 
 
And you've found her name on souvenier trinkets from all over the place, too... San Francisco, Nashville, Key West and Disneyworld!
