the new flower girl
Well, my little lady is just loving her new Flower Girl title. Tonight, we met up with some of the bridal party from Vanessa Joy’s wedding at an unnamed bridal store (I’d mention the name, but then I’d have to tell you how horrible they were to Vanessa tonight, and I’m not in the mood for that type of post).
I helped her get her dress on and she ran around the store like she owned the place. She kept saying “I like my dress…I like my dress”. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the pictures. Just click the image below to visit the gallery:
On a totally different note, today Olivia dropped a new one on me. Driving home from the dress fitting, she said “I want Mommy back.” She has never said that…I mean, we have talked about Mommy a lot, but I don’t think she has ever said that. At the end, she was ok with knowing that we would see mommy someday. In a very unusual state of affairs, she had talked me into tears, but she herself was quite alright :)

Sounds like an emotional day; going from happy seeing your cutie in her special dress, to having a heart to heart talk on the way home. Wishing you and your girl a peaceful sleep.
Wow, that seems like quite a day. Olivia looks absolutely adorable in her flower girl outfit. She is going to be a deep person I think when she grows up. And it is going to be incredible to see the way that God will use her, and the way that God is using your ministry.
Wow…amazing how a small, four-word sentence can bring tears to anyone’s eyes…
OH, OH! Are you at David’s Bridal in Freehold??? It looks familiar…that’s where I got my dress 7 years ago. Any deals on flower girl dresses? My daughter will be a flower girl this summer in my brother’s wedding…still need to find a dress.

She looks like a little angel :) I wish she could have her Mommy back too. I pray you both have a blessed day.
She is too precious. You are an incredible dad and have a lot on your plate — definitely an inspiration.
Livi is as beautiful as a “Bride” just like your beautiful wife Misty was and Livis gorgeous mom~
Your little girl is a gift. Following and praying for you both.
Liv is just beautiful. Her sweet spirit is so apparent, and I can say that just by reading about her.
And, judging by the pics, I am pretty sure I know exactly where you were and I had a awful time with them when I was getting married. And this was 5 years ago. So if it’s any consolation to Vanessa, she’s not alone.
Hey-she is adorable! It looks like David’s Bridal to me too-I was in the one in Freehold a couple months ago and they were awful-I ended up checking out the one near King of Prussia-and they were totally awesome! The bent over backwards to help us out-it was such an opposite experience. Anyway-Good Luck to Olivia on the big day!!! LOL
Olivia is such a beautiful little girl! I can imagine how your heart went into your throat when she said that to you. It brought me to tears and I do not even really “know” you or Olivia. You appear to be a very good dad though and handle most everything point on. Blessings to you both!
The pictures of Olivia in her dress are too cute! She is such a pretty girl!
She is so precious!!! My lulu was just a flower girl!
ah! she’s totally gorgeous! i love the dress too!!!!
oh gosh, that would have been really hard. I pray God gives you heaps of added strength and peace
