Serenity has had a loose tooth and she lost her tooth at Maggiano's. Serenity in the car tonight says gues what.. "The tooth fairy and Santa are going to bump into each other tonight." She is so funny. Pictures to follow.
Blessings and love,
Team Davis

Christmas Eve
Today, Serenity and I went to church while Daddy was at work. When I went in they said to sit anywhere on the left side. So, I sat on the left side a few rows up from where people were sitting. I took my coat off and looked back to see Dr. Weary and his family. Now to some that may not seem unusual but, there are thousands of people that go to my church and today there were 6 services at our two locations. I thought that it was a blessing to see him and I have not seen him at church before today even though I know he goes to our church. I take everything as a sign from God and that he is still with me and knows that I need to know.
The service today was on our Tattered pages and letting GOD be our peace, hope and seeking him. He already knows all of the pages of our story. We need to humble ourselves before him. We had a candlelighting and it was beautiful when Pastor Matt said look at our room dark with the stories. Then our stories begin to light up the room one by one.
When we left we were given a CD of a beautiful song that was written. So in the car I put it in to listen to again. Serenity as she always does says "Mommy I know why you like this song." I say, "why?" She says "because it has your name and it says you are not alone." Before I can say a word. She then says "mommy, you are not alone, you have me." These are the best words I have heard all year. Now, of course being the over thinker I am I start to question why she is saying this because I really ensure my sad times are more controlled and when I can be alone. I have learned to fake it at times quite well. Serenity is too smart for me and we thank God for her everyday.
Our Christmas letter to Sterling Michael
To our precious baby,
May you forever know
We love you with all of our hearts
And miss you ever so
To our precious baby
May you forever know
The deepest sadness in our lives
Was having to let you go
To our precious baby
May you always know
That we think of you everyday
Your memory we will always treasure
To our precious baby
May you somehow realize
Even though your time with us was so short
You graciously touched so many of our lives
To our precious baby
We want you to understand
God needed you in Heaven
So He gently took your hand
To our precious baby
We will see you again someday
For now we will hold your memory close to our hearts
It is there you will forever stay.
Tonight my sweet prince will come
I wake in the morning with you on my mind
Your dad is still asleep, finally able to unwind
My heart starts to get heavy just missing you
I go about getting ready for the day feeling blue
Our life would be so different if you were here
My arms would not be aching to hold you near
Last night I say how big you have grown
My dream are filled with only you alone
The drive into work is quiet now
I planned to play nursery rhymes for you nice and low
Instead it is your cries that I long to hear
Once at work, your picture on my desk
I press my finger to your face and caress
Those around me try to be kind
But they don't know the sorrow you left behind
I try to stay busy they say the pain will ease
What I learned recently is there are no guarantees
When work is all done and I drive away
My thoughts turn to you and there they will stay
The evenings are now the worst
They should have been filled with your energy bursts
But instead I am left with an empty heart
I must be determined to not fall apart
My sleep is filled with thoughts of joy
It is then that I can finally see our little boy
In my dreams I am free to see you for to me you come
I get to see all that you would have become
Your golden hair blows gently in the breeze
Your dad and I chase you among the trees
You giggle and laugh as sissy chases your toes
As you lay in the grass you begin to doze
When you awake we are by your side
Our hearts are full of love and pride
We spend the day laughing and playing
May this day never end I am praying
You fall asleep in my arms
I put you to bed and set my alarm
When I open my eyes I start to smile
For again my sweet prince you have blessed me for a while
