Celebration of her life.
September 17th the one year anniversary since Eisley’s birth.
We decided to get away as a family and it was truly what we needed. We spent 4 nights in Denver, some days around our friends and others just as a family. It was a time of remembering her, grieving our loss of her here and celebrating her life.
I really struggled as the anniversary of her passing and her birth came, for many reasons but mostly because it was the first year and I was wondering how on earth could I possibly do anything to commemorate her life in such a special way. I had many ideas on my “list” and was terrified that I wouldn’t honour her in the best way possible. As the time came, I let go of what I had planned and went with what we were feeling. Everything just fell into place naturally and traditions that we will do each year just came about. I feel we did the best in honouring her and no matter how much or how little we could have done, she’ll always hold a place in our family and in our hearts. There are a few things we really wanted to do this year and some things every year and I won’t share everything we did but here are some photos from out weekend.
We decided to do a family photo and a balloon release each year on the week of her birthday.
Another thing we would love to do each year is to make cupcakes with the kids and celebrate her life as one in our family. We want our boys and future kiddos to know their sister and who she was and is to our family.

Melts my heart. <3
Pink Gerber Daisies remind us of her. Chase is blowing the flower to “make a wish” like he does with dandelions.
It was a bittersweet yet {healing} weekend for our us.
Eisley-girl, you are forever in our hearts and apart of our family.
