Heart of my Heart

Casey, these are beautiful! I LOVE the last one where she’s looking at you and smiling. :)

Soooo pretty! Both Mommy and daughter!

Hi, Casey, I go to Open Door and I was thinking about you and Dan the other day and praying for you during Christmas. Then I came to your blog and found out about your precious daughter! I’m so happy for you and will keep praying for you as you adjust to little Zoe being part of your family :).

So Beautiful!!!

You look beautiful Casey!

WOW.
WOWWOWWOW!!!
Stunning.

Im so glad you like them… she was just precious… I got baby fever just holding her!! and when I put her in that sling I think she tipped me over. We want another one HAHA
BTW Casey gives the best haircuts! :-)

Oh…My…WORD! Casey, those pictures of you and Zoe are so beautiful!

She is so adorable and you are gorgeous, I love these pics! Btw, I am the same way you are about photography about cooking, everyone else’s food always taste better to me!

She is GORGEOUS!!!! I love the pictures you take of her! You are an amazing photographer! Zoe will be amazed when she gets older and goes through her scrapbook! She is so lucky to have you as her Momma!
Hugs – Tiff

what a cutie pie!!! the perfect christmas present :)

Casey,
Your ring is so beautiful and what a special gift to remember Asher by! I never told you, but in all the craziness and probably the influence of medications too, I lost my engagement ring! I have cried and searched to no avail. It’s especially sad to me because Grant wore that ring on his foot and I’m so mad at myself for losing it. It was too tight all during the pregnancy and so I went to try it on the end of August and it was still too tight so I set it down but can’t remember where.
Anyway, Kris said if we don’t find it, someday he will get me another one- but of course it will never be the same as the one I lost. The story of my life!
How was your Christmas? I have yet to check out your NYC pics you posted on FB. Will do that soon though.
Great to see the pretty pics of Zoe! She is so sweet!
Love to you all!
Jody

Hi Friends!
Thanks for sharing about your Christmas! Still in awe when I think of our Saviors entry into this world!
Zoe is filling out and soo sweet! I love the ring in honor of Asher, so pretty!
Wondering if your friends came by yesterday, was thinking of you and hoping and praying they did!

wow! it’s beautiful! how precious that is now and will be for the rest of your life.

This ring is stunning…I cried when I saw it thinking of dear Asher…but also of how his daddy and mommy love him so!
I read this poem at my friends site and thought of you.
Love you all!!!!!!!
I am Spending Christmas in Heaven This Year
I see the countless Christmas trees,
Around the world below.
With tiny lights, like heaven’s stars,
Reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular,
Please wipe away that tear.
For I’m spending Christmas,
With Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs,
That people hold so dear.
But the sounds of music can’t compare,
With the Christmas choir up here.
For I have no words to tell you,
The joy their voices bring.
For it is beyond description,
To hear the angels sing.
I can’t tell you of the splendor,
Or the peace here in this place.
Can you just imagine Christmas,
With our Savior, face to face?
I’ll ask Him to light your spirit,
As I tell Him of your love.
So then pray one for another,
As I lift you eyes above.
Please let your hearts be joyful,
And let your spirit sing.
For I’m Spending Christmas in Heaven,
And I’m walking with the King.

what a sweet and precious gift! Aren’t husband such a blessing and encouragement as they know how deeply they can bless our hearts with their thoughtfulness?! I hope you all have a beautiful christmas this year! Many blessings, Larissa for the clan!

I just discovered your blog today, after reading for an hour I can’t remember how I got here. I am so overwhelmed. Your story is heartbreaking in so many ways, and now seeing these GORGEOUS pictures of your baby Zoe, my heart is lifted up. She is absolutely beautiful, and I can’t imagine that she would have found a set of parents who would love her more. Congratulations on your new baby girl.

Look at those gorgeous eyes! They are captivating. She’ll be a good little model for photography. Love you girl!

Casey,
I am so happy for you, I know you have suddenly become a very busy woman, and loving every minute of it. She is so Beautiful. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas, and that you are happy aand safe.
Love, Jen

So, I’m wondering, can we go ahead and settle on a dowry now? I’ve got a boy who’ll be needing a wife in about 20 years- what do you think? It would make for some fun in-law Christmases. I don’t mind sharing grandbabies with you guys!?!

aren’t girls just so amazing?! I think your daughter is simply beautiful!! Loving the dark eyes!

so i just keep checking your blog b/c i can’t get enough of that sweet zoe face! love her!

OH! those beautiful BIG eyes! And the sleeping pose is just precious. Aunt Sue Say HI! to your mom and Tony.

gorgeous!

She is so beautiful!
It would be so wonderful to adopt someday.
Our cousin’s adopted, and it was such a God happening how the mother (from a northern state), got connected to them here in NC…by way of her phone number being written with lipstick on a small torn paper…incredible story!
Praying that you and your family have a Blessed Christmas together!
Love in Christ, Jenn

she is so sweet. those announcements are adorable. what else would I expect from you?!?! :)

We are so excited for you guys! She is just precious! We will be praying for you as you adjust to life with a newborn!

Hey Guys, Zoe is absolutely beautiful. God is Good! God will always provide what we need in His own time. And man wasn’t she worth waiting for. Jeff and I wish you and your family a big congrats and a Blessed Christmas and a wonderful New Year! Love you guys.
Jackie & Jeff

Congratulations Casey!!! Tim and I are so excited for you guys and can’t wait to meet sweet Zoe. 1 Peter 5:10 has been such a comfort and encouragment to us these last weeks and we want you to know what an encouragment it is to see this verse being lived out in your lives. What a blessing!!!

Sooooooooooooooooooo excited for you three! (I wish I could put a million ‘o’ in the SO). Wow! Can’t wait to meet her at Christmas!
“From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another.” John 1:16
