Kele, in your spare time you should be a movie producer! This video is an amazing glimpse of the Giles family's last six months. Presley is so blessed to have the family that God has chosen for her. Hugs and kisses for that precious butterfly!

Kele, I was listening to a song today that reminds me of what your journey over the last 6 months must have been like. It's called "He's my Son" by Mark Schultz. Hugs and prayers to you all.

Wow, she is really a trooper. You can be so proud! At least you all can be proud. You made it, all together. Thanks for sharing the video, that shows not only the good times, but - and that is most important- is with a happy end.

Heather said...

Well, I of course cried from beginning to end.You know what that song means to me and to hear it put to pictures with sweet Presley,well ... no words. I listened to that song each and everyday over and over on my numerous trips a day to Children's.It is so very fitting for these babies,these little wonders,they fill our lives.They complete us.And as to your butterfly ... it has been a privilege to have been part of your journey.We may have come into it at the tail end of this leg but we intend to remain a constant for the remainder of the ride.I look so forward to watching these girls grow and thrive and blossom.We have been blessed beyond words that God has placed you all in our lives.Now,if we could just do something about the distance thing.Kiss that baby doll Kele and you did an absolutely amazing job on the video.It was perfect.As is she.

Rachael and Chris said...

Absolutely breathtaking!!! Thank you for sharing this!!!

P.S.--I updated the blog...you can get your Delilah fix now. :) We're housing some friends who were driven out by Hurricane Gustav so I've definitely been a blog slacker...won't happen again!!! :)

What a beautiful video, you do an awesome job, but why shouldn't you with a family like your. Pictures captures a thousand words. You made me cry like all your other beautiful blogs and videos. I think you found your second job(In your spare time HAHA :0). When you feel low just play this video and see how GOD has bless your beautiful buttterfly & your family.

Remember there is calm after the storm and a rainbow! You have had your storm,(six months in the hospital,all the testing and surgeries) you're cleaning up from the storm and repairing the damage,(all your phone calls, sleepless nights and therapy sessions) and in a few weeks you will get to enjoy the calm (the beautiful butterfly flying.) Remember sometimes you will get tired of all the work from the clean-up but just remember get rest when you can,let the Red Cross relief team(Lake Pointe, Theresa & I, MDO and all the other teams) help you and focus on the end project and the beautiful outcome when the clean up is over( beautiful Presely become a loving, happy, caring, beautiful child and a blessing to your family.)

Remember "The Will of GOD will never take you to where the Grace of GOD will not protect you!"

WOW! That was absolutely beautiful! I'm in tears. What a GREAT video! I watched it twice!! Presley is such an amazing baby girl! I truly can not wait to meet her. I am so glad she is home, where she belongs! I'm sending big hugs and kisses out to little Presley. I know you'll make sure she gets them!

Much Love to all of you!

Aunt Kristy said...

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE the video!! It's great you put that together. It's so amazing to see how far she has come in 6 months! I love the pictures of you guys picking her up from the hospital. Haven't seen those yet. If you have more, I'd love to see them. Presley looks so happy to be home. I love all the pics but especially the one where she is smiling really big (like she's laughing). It's great. And, of course, you know I LOVE the bows! A pretty princess deserves to have pretty bows!! Give everyone a hug & kiss from Aunt Kristy, Uncle Jason & Devlin.

Very poignant and impossible to stay dry eyed... just... wow. Your Butterfly, the whole family, the emotions - such beauty.

Thank you for sharing this. It is, quite simply, moving.

Emily said...

Hugs and kisses!!! <>< Emily

Kele,
That is one of the best slideshows I have ever seen. I loved the music and the statement at the end. The pictures were the BEST. Thank you for sharing your beautifuly Presley and family with all of us.

P.S. I was on a roll and haven't cried in a couple but now you broke my streak. Tears of joy are totally worth it!

Kele - just got back in town from NYC and opened this email. It has made my day to know that you now have her home. Such a beautiful tribute to her first six months of life. I look forward to seeing your family grow in happiness and love.

Kele and Family,

All of our prayers, white light and candles (some all over Italy, where I now work), have been answered (and they'll keep coming!).

Vola, Farfallina! Vola!

Elizabeth said...

Absolutely fantastic job Kele! It brought back many memories and of course cried the entire time for you, Miss Presley and family. So very glad that you guys are home, no more thousands of wires and tubes and are "complete." Many hugs!

Steph said...

As odd as this is to say, I am so glad that you haven't updated your blog! To me this means that you are enjoying every second you have at home with your Presley, and Mikah and Jett! I do check every day, and smile when there is nothing new to see. Hope that everyone is settling in to being a family of five!
