The sign says it all. The four baby pictures are pictures of our four daughters as new-born babies. These pictures were taken at the hospital, so each of the girls were only 2-3 days from Heavenly Father's hands to mine. The baby on the top left is Jessica--she now is 15, going into high school, driving, and soon to be dating...when she's 16!! The baby on the top right is Savanna--she now is 12, going into junior high, baby-sitting, and doing her own hair!! The baby on the bottom left is Rebecca--she now is 8, going into 4th grade, taking piano lessons, and drawing. The baby on the bottom right is Karissa--she now is 6, going into 1st grade, reading, and making us laugh and laugh. Here they are today: 
Wow!! Where does the time go? I have had their newborn pictures hanging in our bedroom for about 6 years with the sign "GRATITUDE" hanging above them. When I saw Kindra's "ANGEL" sign, I knew I had to have it. I still feel gratitude for each of my girls, but I just loved the angel description. Maybe I will put the "GRATITUDE" sign below. I will have to see how that looks. I look at those pictures and can't believe how time moves along. I cherish those newborn moments, smells, touches, peeps, grunts, smiles, and trust. I am even grateful for lack of sleep, pain and tears. It was a precious and sacred time of life. I thank Heavenly Father everyday for the chance to be a Mom to such sweet angels. Hope you all have a wonderful day.Be Nice to People,
Julie

Julie,
Seeing the girls all lined up and pictures of your home just makes me miss you so darn much. I sure wish gas wasn't $3.99 a gallon!!! I'm going to post some picts of my house too, you've inspired me. Maybe it will make those who are far away feel like they've stopped by for a visit! LOVE YA!!!
Isn't Kindra just the BEST?! I love the sign you ordered from her -- and the display you created with it. You really pulled at my heartstrings with your touching post and beautiful girls. Family is everything and you sure do have a wonderful one. Enjoy your Kindra creation!
On an unrelated note, my sidebar graphics that you asked about are from Life in the Craft Lane with Mandie. She's on my sidebar. Check out her wonderful freebies.
First of all you have the cutest girls! What a precious gift!!
Your sign looks wonderful in your room!! Thank you so much for your kind words. It means so much!!
If you would like to post my giveaway for your name to be in the hat 2 more times...you can just mention it in one of your posts before June 2. You can either have a link in your post to go over to my blog or just mention that I'm on your favorites list (thank you). You are such a wonderful blog buddy!
Julie - I just discovered your great blog and noticed that you live in Utah too! We seem to like the same stuff - family & primitives & decorating & quilting. Just wondering where you live? I'm in Clinton.

I love the sign and the baby pictures. Your girls are adorable!!!
Hi Julie
This is such a beautiful post. I agree with you, I always get so excited to receive handwritten letters, or notes in the mail.
Kindra's sign is absolutely gorgeous and those few words on the sign sum it all up. This sign that Kindra made is perfect for your family.
Your four girls are beautiful angels and as their mum you must be bursting with pride.
What a beautiful display you have created with the sign and photos.
Love
Elise
I love your sign! And your girls are so adorable I can see why they are your angels!! Take care!~Wendy
Your daughters are beautiful! We have somewhat similar experiences as I am a sahm and have four daughters also....17, 15, 13, and 11. :) Time flies by waaaaay too fast, doesn't it?
Oh what a lovely sign! And the photo of your daughters is Priceless! Just beautiful. :-)
Thank You for sharing this post with us. I felt my heart flutter.
Kindra...you may be hearing from me soon! ;-)
Hugs,

You certainly are blessed with 4 beautiful angels. They are just dolls that is for certain!
Kindra's sign is so pretty. I'm going to have to save my pennies so I can get a few of those as well. They sure add inspiration to our homes, don't they?
Smiles,
Lea
