Not our loss...our gift

Well, as many of you know our family has suffered a loss. On September 20th, Mike and I were informed that I had a miscarriage. Words can hardly describe the sadness and despair that we felt. We learned that the baby only grew to be 6wks 2days. Although we are sad, we know that it's spirit is in heaven with our Heavenly Father.

Thank you so much to all of our friends and family. Without you I don't know how I could get through this time. Your cards, letters, flowers, meals and hugs are what kept me together and from loosing my mind. Your prayers were heard and our hearts are slowly starting to heal. It is truly amazing how much love that baby's little soul brought us. It has strengthen relationships, renewed our faith in Christ and brought our family closer together.

Mike, Michial and I are going to go to a park this weekend and send some balloons toward heaven to our baby in effort to have some closure. I hope to get some pictures from this and post them soon.

Again, thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. We love each and every one of you.

Gosh, I am so clueless when it comes to my blog...I really try and keep it updated, and thanks to Ashley it's somewhat colorful now!

Michial started school and LOVES his teacher. He is doing really well in school and I am pleased when he comes home with 100% on his papers. His reading seems to have improved, which I am grateful for...although he would rather in front of his class than for me! His friend Jamason lent him the Magic Tree House books and he seems to like them pretty well. We have also sarted listening to the Adventure in Odyssey series on c.d in the car and he really enjoys them.

School started up for me as well and I am taking Anatomy. I have just a few more classes after this before I can register for nursing school. I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! This class is MUCH harder than I expected, that's for sure. And when it's done, then I can sit back and enjoy the rest of the pregnancy till April.

I just have to say how thankful I am to have all my friends. I feel so blessed to have so many great relationships, friendships and awesome family. I know that I don't say it enough, but I love each and every one of you. Thank you for all that you do to keep me sane, keep me focused, help whenever I need help and always lend a smile or a hand!
