Still snowing



Well, we are still getting lots of snow.  We seem to be in a pattern of a big snow storm, then a few days of warm weather, then freezing cold, then more snow.  These pictures are from a few days after a big storm.

D and K are standing in a snow drift at the church.  It was about 8 feet tall.  There was one way taller and way bigger, but at the same time I went to take the pics, a big tractor and 2 dump trucks came and took the snow away. They started taking snow away at 9:00 am, and didn't stop until 7:00 p.m.. (if that is any indication of the amount of snow)


D and K are in our driveway here.  We ran out of room to put all the snow.  Kent wrenched his back, so snow removal was my job.  Can you see how good I did : ).



Here K is standing at the church, the path on the sidewalk gives you an idea of the depth of snow.  When K stood right next to the snow it came up to her neck.

Because we have so much snow with warm and then freezing temps, there are lots of impressive icicles.  This is a picture of the Tabernacle.  I hope you can see all the beautiful icicles.  
The kids like the snow, but get antsy in the house pretty quick.  Because the weather has been so severe and sudden, we are nervous to go too far.

The snow looks so pretty I miss it Today I took Madison to the park the high today was 74 but it was windy. Madison was holding her arms shivering saying mom it's so cold! The poor kid has no idea she will be in for the shock of her life next winter when we go home.

Keep singing until the end of the song

Since my last post we lost 2 more precious babies.  On September 30, 2016 we lost our beautiful baby girl Felicity at 5 months.  Almost a year later, we found out we were expecting agin.  Sadly on Dec.1, 2017 we lost our little boy, Elijah.  I need to write their stories, but the feelings and emotions are still very raw and difficult.  While I hope to share them someday, today is not that day. Today is December 21, just a few more days until Christmas.  I LOVE Christmas.  The lights, smells, delicious food, family and friends, and especially the music.  I love to sing Christmas songs and look forward to it every year.  But this year it was hard to sing the songs I love so much.  This year singing about the miraculous birth brought sadness and even anger.  I have struggled to feel the Christmas Spirit. I imagine it is difficult to experience any loss during the Christmas season.  A holiday that focuses so much on family, fri...

Comparison: The Thief of Compassion

I have often heard the saying, "Comparison is the thief of joy", but as I have been navigating this road of loss and grief, I have noticed how often comparison denies us the opportunity to have true compassion for someone else.  Comparison is often well meaning and kind hearted, but when we or someone else compares grief, loss, or other trials and tribulations, it shifts the focus and burden of compassion off of us and minimizes the other person. A few moths ago I had a startling interaction that caused me to pause and reflect on this.  A great, well meaning friend said something along these lines, "You thought you had it rough loosing your babies, just imagine being in her shoes.....".  I smiled and nodded my head, but inside I was crushed.  Without going into specifics, the other woman unquestionably has some great difficulties ahead of her, but she didn't have to burry any of her children. How could the 2 circumstances possibly be compared? After the frie...

Starting a New Chapter, Part 1

It was late February, and Kent and I were sitting anxiously in the Doctor's office.  We were waiting to hear if our fears were correct, waiting to know if our baby had died.  Our fears were confirmed and our lives changed forever.  That baby we had prayed about and prayed for, the baby we were excitedly expecting was gone. We were at the beginning of our second trimester.  I was just starting to relax, the worry of miscarriage was all but gone.  Things had been going well.  I had normal pregnancy issues like nausea, and I was relieved that my Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) had gone into remission (that can happen when you are pregnant).  Ultra-Sounds had shown us a beautiful healthy baby. The decision to have another baby was not an easy one to make.  The meds I take for RA are dangerous to take during pregnancy and take quite a bit of time to leave your system.  I also knew that while I might go into remission during pregnancy, I...
