Two years ago, our world changed forever. Katie Jo Marie was born. When I was 4 months pregnant with Jo, My Mom, Joan, passed away. Before she died, we talked about the baby, and she and I were sure it was a girl. I told Mom her name and I asked her to watch over her for me, till I could do it. Jojo is such a special baby girl. She laughs and smiles all the time. She is so social and happy and sweet and kind. When she sees me cry she crawls onto my lap and wipes away my tears. She sits in time out with Jimmy until he's done. She loves her silky, and babies and her big brother Stevie best. She didn't walk until she was almost 18 months. and she is just now really getting the words to come out. She doesn't get frustrated when we don't "get it", but she will will cheer and clap when we get it right! Katie Jo Marie has changed our life for the better, and helped us to realize what really matters. The joy of a child. The health of a family and the gifts from God.
