Here are the two Bailey's in my life! (one Bailey with an "i" and the other Baeley with an "e")

One my daughter and one with the heart of an angel! Love them both to pieces and I am so thankful for both of them and the roles they play in my life.

That was amazing to watch last night. Thanks for the nice cry! It was very emotional and touching. I am so impressed by you and Jeremy. You both have such faith and strength. It's no wonder that Payton chose you to be his parents!

Your family is beautiful!

I am so glad you posted this.. I saw the story being advertised over the weekend and meant to watch last night but missed it... I am sitting here crying over my laptop as I just watched this. You're such an amazing family! The lives you have touched with this story are endless. Thanks for being so selfless and a wonderful example. Baeley is so beautiful and what a gift your little Peyton has given that family. Your faith and strength are inspiring!

Amanda... We watched the clip last night. It is hard to believe that was four years ago. I just loved seeing that beautiful little boy. What an AMAZING story...and what an AMAZING family you are. Payton has touched so many lives... I know that he has definitely touched ours. We need to get together over the holidays!

I got your text but I wasn't able to watch it on the news. Tommy and I just watched it online. You are amazing and a truly amazing story. Isn't it awesome to know that the Lord has a plan for all of us. The hard part is waiting and accepting his will!

Candy said...

totally made me cry. I actually watched the news clip a few days ago and it was amazing. My heart just broke for you, but at the same time I completely admire you and love you and know that you are such an amazing person (as is Jeremy).
Your photos are amazing, seriously you are so talented. I'm sure you are completely swamped this holiday season taking people's family photos! I would love to do a trade with you sometime though. Maybe in a few months after things calm down a bit. And I don't think I take good pics of my stuff at all! The lighting is key! If it is cloudy outside, my pictures are crap. And sometimes it's hard getting all the right angles to show the item properly.
We'll be in touch!

I saw you the other night on t.v. and you had us in tears. You are amazing. I never it put it together that you have a Bailee and the family does. You have been such an incredible spokesperson for spot the tot and organ donation. I just love you so much!

Jeff & I watched you guys on the news a while ago, and I immediately started sobbing. From the beginning to the end. You & Jeremy are so strong...
