Field trip to the Farm

D's preschool class had a fun field trip this last week. He went to his teacher's father's farm. They have lots of horses.

Here is D on Big Ben a Clydesdale. He is really big, but really gentle.

Here is K looking at the ponies. She loved the baby horses.

They had some miniature horses that were so fun. D took K on a buggy ride pulled by Smallzy.

You wouldn't know it by looking, but K had a great time on her ride.

What would a field trip be without treats. Cupcakes and little sodas out of a soda machine. Soo much fun.

On a side note, D dressed himself. He decided that his cowboy boots and hat would be best, and superman shirt is cool. I am still not sure why he thought his jeans should be backwards. He thought they were great that way. When we got to school his teacher said, "Oh, is D having another backwards day?". I had no idea his little silly things were that obvious to others. Oh well, at least he is happy.

Here is K in her Princess Cinderella costume. I made the skirt, and we had the top. But, now I think I might need to make a top. This one doesn't fit too well. I think I might try more elastic or something. Let me know if you have any ideas.

K is such a little girl. As soon as she got dressed up she ran for her dress up shoes, and crown. Then she needed a baby (of course). She is fun. Sometimes she acts like a princess too much. But, she is just so gosh darn cute.

That is adorable. Nice job on the skirt. The top is fine! Besides, it'll probably have to be covered up by a jacket anyway, right? :)

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...

Kent, Mariam and co.
