Hello

How are you? Hope that you guys are all doing well. Life around here is simply ... BUSY! The boys are both in school. Ryan, 5 days a week and Pace 4 days a week. Ryan has homework like you would not believe ... can't believe that a kindergartner has so much! It's crazy! Then you throw soccer practice and soccer games on top of church and life and you have a FULL week!

Thankful for the fullness though! For those who have asked the doctors office called today and my blood work came back in the negative numbers which is what they want after a miscarriage I do not have to have any further testing. We are still processing the loss and trusting God through it all.

Well, I have all 3 in bed and yes it is 7:27 PM! Jeremy is out at a meeting and I have the next 2 hours by myself. :) Time to veg!

Enjoy your night y'all!

Our weekend

Our weekend was FULL, yet so much FUN! We needed a weekend like this! Friday we were able to enjoy a date night thanks to some wonderful friends who picked our one son up from school for us and another set of wonderful friends who kept ALL 3 of our kids.

Saturday we headed out to Ryan's first ever soccer game! It was a hoot! 14 kids all chasing this little ball and kicking each other in the shins .... hilarious! Ryan did great and had a wonderful time playing. He was given best defensive player star for the game. We just love Upward! The kids get devotions at every practice and they also learn Bible verses each week. We came home and enjoyed a lazy Saturday with football and I was even able to get a pedicure .... oh it was wonderful!

Sunday we were at church and then spent the afternoon with friends watching football, eating wings and the guys played Rock band. Definitely some fun memories were made.

It was definitely a much needed weekend. Today we are back to the grind with a busy week! I go to the DR today to have my levels checked .... don't anticipate any problems, just a routine check up.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Rainy Days

Some days you just have to put your trunks on and jump in the rain!

Thanks for all the prayers and notes of encouragement! We are taking it moment by moment. Some being easier than others but still one moment at a time.

just a list

I feel like I'm in a fog so this is just a list:

• It's funny how one minute you can be praying for a healthy pregnancy and baby and the next wondering what just happened to leave you with such a huge hole inside
  
• Emotions are such a funny thing ... they go up and down at a moments notice
• Having to go to the OB/GYN's office after a miscarriage is just not fair ... seeing all the pregnant women around you is just hard and shouldn't be required
• Some people just don't know what to say so they say things they shouldn't
• Having to be mommy and try to grieve is really hard to do
• Answering my kids questions zap me
  
• Getting my head and my heart on the same page is hard to do. Head knows the truth heart just doesn't feel it
• Some moments are hard and you feel really weak, some you feel strong and some just plain suck
• At the end of the day God is still God even if you are really upset and have tons of questions
  

Would love your prayers

After a visit to the ER yesterday, we are sad to say that we are no longer expecting #4. We miscarried and would appreciate so much your prayers.

Thanks!
