Celebrations

CELEBRATION #1

Aiden's 1st birthday is today!!! Yay!! I thought we would never get there, but he made it! ;)  Here are some updates!

Here's Aiden eating at Great-Grandma's house awhile ago, he loves food, he downed a whole Subway sandwich!

Nono and Nona got him a playset for his birthday! He helped Nono, Uncle Al and his daddy put it together, he was super helpful.




Aunt Sally reading to him, he sat still for the first time ever in his entire 1 year of life!


Thanks to Nono, Nona, Grandpa and Nana, Aiden had his 1st birthday cake! I think he liked the chili more though =)



Not a big fan of the cake AT ALL


Unless Nona is feeding it to him.


Happy 1st birthday to my wonderful little man!!

CELEBRATION #2

Introducing our daughter Rachel (this was about a month ago)

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb -Psalm 139:13

Rachel has a severe case of cystic hygroma and probably won't be with us much longer before God receives her into heaven.  Though we will miss out tremendously, she gets to spend eternity in heaven and will be spared suffering and we couldn't ask for more for her.  The pain for us pales in comparison to the glory she is about to experience. This is by far the hardest trial our little family has had to face, but God carries us everyday that we get to spend with her. We would not change it because we have faith in God's plan even though He chooses not to share it with us sometimes!  SO, that is reason to celebrate!
