Flowers for our flowers...

David and I try to come up with different ways to memorialize the girls. Recently we planted a little flower garden beside the house in their honor. Over the years we'll add different things to it, but this is it for now:


In the hospital, Claire had a little purple bracelet, and Gracie had a little pink bracelet. We planted pink and purple pansies to represent this. The stepping stones by the bird bath are that of a butterfly and a dragonfly. We like to think that Claire was our delicate fluttering butterfly, and Gracie was our energetic impulsive dragonfly. I think David is the proudest of the rock wall. After much trial and error, we finally got it both level and sturdy.

Anyway, I hope they like it.
