Ethan's Baby Shower

Today, the most amazing friends gave me and Ethan a baby shower. We were showered with so many wonderful gifts and words of joy! It was a great evening spent with family and great friends. We are so blessed to have such awesome friends and family who are excited to share in this joyous time with us! We love each of you dearly!

Baby Ethan is here!!

We have been waiting for this day, for a long time now. We were matched with a birth mom in mid June. Her due date was July 16th. We went to her OB appointments and were able to get to know her better. Ethan arrived on July 21st, two years to the date that we buried his big brother William. God is so awesome, if we wondered if Ethan was the baby for us all of our doubts disappeared. Ethan is a blessing to our family. We are enjoying everyday with him, watching him grow, and discover new things. He is so precious! We are blessed beyond belief. We are thankful to God for this very special gift and we will cherish him forever!!

Our Rainbow!

WILLIAM
You are our “Rainbow”.

The colors of your Rainbow are: happiness, laughter, love, beauty, strength and peace.
•We will shed tears of sadness, as you have left us so suddenly. But you will be our rainbow of happiness because we will still have your memories of our time together.
•Your smile and laughter had the ability to fill the air, allowing others to inhale your pure spirit, releasing the sadness or worry they may have had within.
•Your love was genuine and unconditional….You loved us just as we were and did not see our flaws.
•Your beauty came from within and was expressed by reminding us what is most important is not what is on the outside of a person but what is steered by their souls.
•Your strength brought joy, surprise and meaning to ordinary days. You had the ability to melt away any feelings of exhaustion, frustration and doubt with the blink of your eyes or popping of your tongue. You proved to everyone that no matter hard situations may seem, with faith – even the most unthinkable situations can be made okay to continue on, giving strength and replenishment to a weary soul.
•Just being in your presence provided a feeling of peace and comfort just like a Rainbow does after a storm.
From now on When we hear Thunder we will know it is you trying to get our attention and reminding us that you are watching over us. When we see Lightning we will remember the spark and meaning that you gave to our lives. As it Rains we will reflect on your memories and we will cry together. And afterwards when you send us your Rainbow, We will rejoice and thank God for taking the time to create you just for us.

March of Dimes - April 16, 2011

We did it, we walked and raised money to help all of the babies born too soon and those born with birth defects! This year, March of Dimes created a Path of Hope, honoring babies born too soon and in memory of those who have earned their angel wings too soon. Our lil Will was chosen by my company to remember along the Path of Hope! We had a great morning with our family and friends! Thanks to all who came out to support us and the March of Dimes!! We love and miss you angel!!
