Many of you Blog readers have prayerfully followed the lives of my precious clients Eric and Christina Stratton. You have celebrated their marriage and pregnancy along with me. You congratulated them on the birth of their beautiful daughter Lucy Lynn Stratton and you tearfully grieved with them when they said goodbye to her last year. Your thoughts, prayers and continued support have meant more than you will ever know to The Strattons. They are incredible people who have accepted God’s greater plan and faithfully moved forward in rebuilding their lives.
We all celebrated the announcement that Eric and Christina were expecting baby number two earlier this year. Samuel Luke Stratton meet his proud parents last Tuesday morning. A picture of perfection he is! Mom and Dad are elated and soaking in every moment with this little guy. They have decided to call him Buck…which I adore! Lucy will never be far from their minds but one thing is for certain…little Buck is slowly but surely helping to patch the whole in their hearts. The Lord has answered their prayers and The Strattons are once again experiencing love in its purest form. No doubt Buck is blessed with amazing parents who have more love to give than even they know possible.
Eric and Christina my heart is full for you. The journey of parenthood is something that you have long anticipated and the joy is now yours. I have no doubt that you will be the best parents little Buck could have ever hoped for. Live every moment to it’s fullest potential (which I know you will) and allow your unconditional love for this perfect little boy to help soften the pain from your past. You are wonderful people whom I am blessed to know and love. And I speak for everyone who has walked this journey with you when I say CONGRATULATIONS and MUCH LOVE!!!
All my love~Dawn

He is PERFECT!! He is ADORABLE!! My Heart is Over the Moon Happy for the Strattons and I find myself sitting here, eyes filled with such happy tears!! CONGRATS Y’all on such a precious gift from God!! <3
What a beautiful baby!
Dawn, As soon as I saw the title of this blog I was hoping it would be about this family. I can remember praying for them and their precious daughter many months ago and was so saddened when I learned of her passing. They have now been blessed with another beautiful baby. One thing I know for sure and that is that God is ALWAYS faithful. I am so happy for them!! Buck is a handsome little man and the pictures capture that perfectly. May God continue to bless them and their family. :)
Such a handsome boy they have. I am so glad that they have been blessed with such a precious gift. I just love each image of Buck! Great job Dawn!!!!
Such a wonderful gift from God- and he is very handsome! Enjoy every minute you can with him
Dawn,
Thank you for all the special memories you’ve provided for Christina & myself. After having approximately ZERO photo sessions in my life I never dreamed that I’d have what seems like a hundred in a two year period. But, now with the loss of a child I cannot stress enough the importance of preserving the memories. (I emphatically suggest to anyone reading this blog to without a doubt professionally document today, tomorrow is not guaranteed).
Christina and I have been married 2 years and 2 weeks today. So far we’ve had multiple serious health scares, business trouble, the loss of a child, plus plus plus. But, I can honestly say it’s been the most peaceful, relaxing, fun 2 years and 2 weeks of my life. The Lord has taken the trouble and bound our hearts closer to him and as a result into one.
Now that LiL Stratton is here I’m sure it’s going to get more interesting than ever before. As sweet as our Lucy would’ve been I somehow suspect that I’m getting ready to get paid back in full for my youthful years!
Thank you,
Eric and Chris
I was so thrilled to read the joyous news of Buck’s arrival. Eric and Christina’s journey has been a hard road but they always seemed to be so calm and confident in their faith, I couldn’t help but hope they got all the goodness back that they gave to others.
Then I read Eric’s words and just broke down. I hope they have every joy and happiness in the world. They not only deserve it but I know they will appreciate it.
Congratulations! I look forward to many years of seeing your beautiful boy grow and give you all that ‘payback’.
I am so excited for this family!!!! And, Dawn, I know this was a special time for you, also! These children have touched so many lives, more than they will ever know. Thank you for sharing their story with the world, and letting us celebrate in their new bundle of joy!
Eric and Christina,
These pics are awesome……such a sweet e boy…….will have to wipe that smile away before he starts playing linebacker at UCF…….congratulations….hope to see you all soon
Love Dan and Sandra
Many congrats to The Strattons! These pictures are beautiful and he is so handsome. What a great gift from God! Enjoy every minute Eric & Christina!
The Lord has blessed them both now after some turbulent times they have both shared. I wish them both all the best in this new year.
So happy for Eric and Christina. He is a beautiful boy and truly a blessing and gift from God. I’ve known Christina for many years and I know how much love she has to give. She and Eric have been through a tough time but never did they take their eyes off of God. I couldn’t be happier for them.
Eric Stratton is a manipulative con man who bullies the elderly and steals their money.
He stole over 5 thousand dollars from my mother and used it for fantasy sports.
He is a manipulative evil monster.
