Excited for my picture frame (rainbow mentioned)

Petunia844 · June 2012

DH has never looked at the photos that were taken of Peyton. He wanted to remember him how he holds him in his memory and I understood that. As a result though I never felt comfortable sharing them or putting any out in the house, because I respect his decision and it wasn't bothering me. Recently though I started getting upset that once Raylan is born we'll have pictures of him out and none of his brother, so I asked DH if it would be ok if I print the one of his feet and frame it in our room. He agreed, so I ordered a beautiful frame that holds two 5x7 photos and I'm printing the one of Peyton's feet and one of our maternity photos and I'm going to put them in together. I'm really happy to have finally done this and I'm so glad that DH didn't mind.

I think that's really sweet!

That sounds like a good compromise to display a picture of Peyton's feet and a sweet idea for a picture frame.

The pictures we have of Alice's face came out very blurry which has always been very upsetting to me. But we do have one picture of her feet which is just completely perfect. We have it on the dresser in our bedroom.

I think that sounds so sweet! We didn't get any pictures of our daughter, at the time I couldn't imagine having photos taken. But, now I think I would have liked it.

I glad you found a beautiful frame and elegant way to honor and remember Peyton!

This makes my heart smile. In our house it was the opposite. My DH wanted to wallpaper the house with Corbin's pictures and I just couldn't. One day while I was out running errands he put the pictures up and I loved it. We're in the process of selling our house so when we have showings I have to take the pictures down and put his swing in the garage. As soon as the showing is over I take everything back out and put it back up. It bothers me when I don't see them. Sometimes when I look at the pictures I tear up because I miss him so much but most of the time they make me smile because for the most part my DH put up the funny pictures we have of him like the one where DH is holding him and he's holding his nose or the one where he had finished a bottle and passed out and I put it in his arm and he looks like he's drunk on milk.

That sounds like a wonderful idea!

I'm so happy you are able to do this. I love having Patricia's photos in our hallway. Sometimes they make me sad, but sometimes they make me smile because we loved her so much and she made us so happy. She is a part of our family.
