Today is such a bitter-sweet day. It was one year ago that we lost our sweet Baby Braxton. This year has been a year of learning and growth for us. We have had so many inspiring things happen to our little family because of him. I love to hear when people remember him and talk of him...it is a good thing to me now. My girls love remembering him in their prayers...that we can live with him again. They talk of him often. I hope that we can always keep him as a part of our family here on this earth and in the eternities.
I would like to thank everyone who remembered him on this day...thanks for the flowers, cards and calls! I would also like to thank my mother-in law for asking me what she could do. We decided that spaghetti is a great one-year old birthday dinner...so she had dinner for us and made chocolate cupcakes. The girls each had to have their turn blowing out the candle and singing Happy Birthday! I really appreciated that and I know Braxton was there to celebrate too. I would also like to thank my mom for coming over and staying the night with us. It was a tough day and it was sooo nice to have her there! She made this little bouquet and bear for him and I made the wreath, so we took it to the cemetary for his birthday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABY BOY...we love you!

Thanks for sharing this. I think it's so neat that you all often talk of Braxton, think of him, and pray for him. My mom always makes a special dinner every year for my little sister's birthday, as well. May this next year bring many more joys than sorrows to your beautiful family.
I can't believe it has been a year already. You are such a SPECIAL person & may 2009 be a WONDERFUL year for you & your family =)
Marci-you're awesome! I love your post. How great it is that Braxton will always be a part of your family.
I am so happy to hear of your celebration and keeping sweet little Braxton's memory alive! What a neat thing to do to remember him!
Very sweet. It brings tears to my eyes. You guys are such strengths to me.
Marci, you don't know me, I went to school with Robert. But, I just wanted to tell you about a blog I think you might enjoy, it is: adailyscoop.blogspot.com.
