I ♥ Faces ~ PINK

This week at I ♥ Faces the assignment is PINK WEEK for Breast Cancer Awareness! I have been fortunate in my life. I dont know anyone personally that has been affected by this horrible disease. Though I do have family that have had other forms of cancer. This might not fit in with this weeks challenge BUT, my sister was almost diagnosed with lung cancer a few years ago. She was fortunate that the doctors were wrong and it was Sarcoid Syndrome.... but... after a long battle to get pregnant.. we have Little Natalie!! So.. though it isnt Breast Cancer related... Natalie is my subject this week.. in pink... and I thank God everyday that she was born happy and healthy!

I ♥ Faces~ Bubbles

I ♥ Faces challenge this week is : BUBBLES


This is my niece Natalie... sitting in the backyard at my mom's house while my kids blew bubbles around her! She loved it!!
