Sunday’s Song.
For those of you that do not attend our church, my sister Bekah and I sang the song “Held” by Natalie Grant in church on Sunday. I had some things in mind I wanted to say in relation to the song, but did not trust myself to speak on that day. In fact, I’m surprised [...]
One week.
Today one year ago marks the beginning of the last week of Emma’s life. I have had many good memories this last week. For one, on my birthday Emma had eaten a whole ounce by mouth with no struggling. That was something she hadn’t done in a long time. She was learning, growing, and happy. [...]
16 week check-up
Elise and I went to our 16 week check-up today. It was a pretty short appointment. I had them check my hemoglobin levels because I haven’t been feeling well (although today I’ve felt fine) and I thought that maybe I needed more iron. It tested at 13, which is really good, so I guess that [...]
Elise’s new puppy.
As you all probably know, Elise is now 4 years old! In her words, “One time I was 3, now I am 4!” She is quite excited about being a whole year older, and perhaps her favorite present was a puppy that Daddy drove many miles to get for her. Her name is Kit. Here [...]
Christmas ’06
OK, I know this is late, but I was just emptying my camera and realized I still had Christmas pictures on it. So here are some pictures of Christmas. I hope you enjoy. Here we all are: Elise gets excited about other people’s presents too: Elise got a lot of dress-up items: And of course, [...]
Sniffles, sneezes, and tears.
Well, that’s our house lately. :) A couple weeks ago John and Elise came down with a cold. Elise’s lasted for a couple weeks. I was hoping I wouldn’t get it, because who wants to be sick and pregnant at the same time? Well, I didn’t, meaning I was able to speak clearly at Mothering [...]
12 Week Doctor’s Appointment
I went to the doctor today for a routine checkup on the baby. It was my first time to meet the doctor, and after asking my huge list of questions and getting answer after answer that impressed me, I must say I really like him a lot. My questions included everything from heart defects, to [...]
Happy New Year!
An old year-2006. This last year has been very full. Full of sorrow, full of joy. Full of disappointment, full of hope. Full of questions, full of peace. Full of family, full of friends. I don’t look back on the year as being a bad one. But perhaps I will always look back on it [...]
New babies and Emma.
Yesterday Elise and I had a conversation about Emma, something we haven’t done in a long time. I wonder if the thoughts of the new baby and my pregnancy remind her of things more often now. If that is so, it is a nice side effect, since I would never have her forget her sister [...]
Our little princess.
Elise was asked to be a flower girl (her second time). She was quite excited! She got to pick out her own dress, although after she picked it out we realized she thought she was picking out the bride’s dress, which explains why it looks a little like a wedding dress, train and all. She [...]
