I was ever so lucky to receive an amazing gift from my father after Haylee was born. This gift has been now used by 5 children. It has been moved all over the world. And it has been a safehaven for even the dog. William was finally able to take his turn being pictured in the oak cradle.![](//3.bp.blogspot.com/-VAm5mB80MtU/Tz3JKazJ4_I/AAAAAAAAFbw/21nIO7PPRkk/s320/William+418.jpg)

My dad spent many hours taking apart the cradle my grandfather made for my brother and replicating one for me. It is big and heavy and has broken a window or two. Yet, in it holds such precious gifts from God. All of my children have taken a turn in this cradle and when I look at it sitting empty between children that fit in it, I am always taken to the memories of each of them in it. I love the cradle and love seeing my sweet baby William taking his turn in such a heartfelt gift.
