Family fun in Fall

We started our fall fun with an outing to the "Enchanted Woods" with some great friends. It was a non-scary Halloween adventure where the kids went on a quest (sent by King Arthur himself) to find the golden rose. We all had lots of fun. We will definitely try to go again next year.
D went as Superman, and K went as a Harvest Princess. I love the look on her face in the photo below. She is in awe after seeing the Princess Snow White. What a cutie.
We went to the pumpkin patch to get pumpkins, but I only got a picture of D. It was a muddy mess, and I planned on taking pictures of K at the pumpkin patch during her field trip. Unfortunately, the field trip did not go as planned. We were late, and when I tried to catch-up with the class, I got my van SERIOUSLY stuck in the mud. They had to use a backhoe to get me out, and it still took lots and lots of work. Anyway, only one pic of the pumpkin patch this year. :(
I have goofy kids, what can I say.

Bubby has always had a fascination with music, and it seems to be growing. He loves to listen to music, uses everything and anything as a drum and he has started playing and singing at the piano. I stick him in his seat and he will play for awhile, giving me a little break (since he is still SUPER needy). It is so sweet when he plays and even cuter when he sings, but impossible to get video of (he is too fascinated with the camera).

Don't worry, I am not thinking he is some musical genius, but I do think he will be a music appreciator at our home.
Okay, I know it is braggy, but my little girl is such a sweetie. I think she is an angel even with rag curlers in her hair.
Tomorrow she has her preschool Halloween party and she couldn't be more excited. She wants her hair curly and glittery and her nails painted. Such a girly girl.

More Halloween pictures to come :)

LOL, your kids are so cute! The costumes are awesome, did you make K's? My little C saw the rings in the nose pictures and of course she's doing it now too.

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...
