My name is Angela Holmes. I am a wife to Robert, and a stay at home Catholic mommy to Isabel, Ian, Caroline, Cooper, and 5 babies in heaven, including Mary Grace who died in utero from Triploidy. I started this blog to update friends and family as we found out about Mary Grace's condition, and then after her death continued to write as an outlet for my grief. Our story has become one of ever-deepening faith, hope and love for God, even in the midst of loss. Praise be to Jesus!
Loving, devoted husband and father, and always willing to lend a hand to a friend, he helps keep our family on the right path.
Isabel, our nature loving 10 year old, has been a great joy and blessing of love in our life!
Our charming, yet mischievious 5 year old! He is ALL BOY!
She's 3 and she knows it!

Divine Mercy Closing Prayer
Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself.
It's Me

Top baby is Ian! I think. :)
I love how siblings look alike especially when they are little. :) Twin and I joke that Baby 1 is a "prototype" for the rest haha. But the similarities here are amazing! I am going to guess 1 is Ian... but I really have no clue! Don't forget to record who is who in each picture and the date... my Mom really thought she'd always be able to tell me and Twin apart but years later, nobody knows which is which in certain pictures.
Oh WOW!!!! I can't believe it!!! I agree with Jenny- top baby is Ian. I think. :)
Beats me, but they sure are cute!
I'd like to invite you to participate in Sunday Snippets-A Catholic Carnival which is a weekly opportunity for Catholic bloggers to share their best post with each other. This week's edition is at http://rannthisthat.blogspot.com/2011/06/sunday-snippets-catholic-carnival_11.html
They look exactly the same, ha ha ha!!!
Top baby is Ian.
They are both gorgeous!
Ian on the top:)
