My babies

On Monday morning I read this blog www.adailyscoop.blogspot.com. Check it out for a full understanding of what my week has been like. My heart aches for this family. Life is so fragile, and it is such a reminder that everyday is a gift. Ava woke up this morning at 5:30, with her diaper off, and a wet bed. I didn't mind a bit, I got her out and rocked her and appreciated that I still have her. When I walked in Easton's room and he had filled with hundreds of cups, I took a picture of his creation and was glad he was still here. When Paris needed me to shuttle her around all day, and then I had a meeting for company the second dinner was done, I was grateful I have her. This family was obviously spiritually prepared for such a challenge and an inspiration to so many. Last week my heart was aching for my mom's neighbor who lost her 20 year old byu track star to automobile accident, while the rest of the family vacationed in Lake Powell.  I recently heard this quote.  "Death is here to remind us why we are alive."

Lori,
It's adailySCOOP.blogspot. I think people will get the message. I loved your post. Very cute. Ruby looks like she had a beard. Good riddance.

Lori-
I checked out that blog. It is heartbreaking, and haven't been able to get my mind off of that family. I have hugged my baby a little closer, and am grateful for the time I have with all of them.
