14 memorable days with baby of mine

Today marks the one year anniversary of the day I met my daughter-to-be. What I'm sharing are 14 dates with Baby Diana. So...take a slightly longer than 7-minute (2 songs) break, grab a beverage of choice, click that 'play' button, and enjoy the music!

Weeping. I'm weeping. But I was smart, and made sure my Kleenex box was close at hand before pressing Play. Such great pictures and videos, Jackie. I can't believe that was a whole year ago. Thanks for sharing with us on the anniversary. Oh, and I LOVE the music ;-)

All I can say is WOW!!!
The pictures are awesome, not only can you see how much you fall in love with Noli, but how much Noli falls in love with her Mama...
Happy Anniversary! What wonderful memories

You did a great work of love putting this together, from the songs to the pics to the video! It was very very tender. I'm so glad we can share together the sights of the orphanage. I'll have to copy some of the clips while visiting for Phoebe so she knows where she stayed. Amazing to see the differences and similarities that make Nola the beauty she is!

Jackie,
That is so so beautiful!!!
With all the time I spend pouring over Olivia's photos, I should try and make my own.
Were you able to burn it onto a DVD when done?

I thoroughly enjoyed that, even sans beverage. Thank you for putting that together and sharing.

I just had to come back and watch again. It's just an amazing transformation in 14 short days. Incredible.
