5 Years!!!!!!

As I sit here tonight thinking back on the what was happening this very moment 5 years ago I get a sick feeling in my stomach and a huge lump in my throat.  I was in labor with our precious Mamie.  Knowing that she would be coming out and we would never hear her cry.  She would be born a sleeping angel.  Wow...... the emotions and memories flood through me like it happened just yesterday.  I sit and think about what she would be doing today.  Turning 5 is a big milestone.  She would be getting ready to start Kindergarten in the Fall.  She would be in the same grade as her cousins Cooper, Hayden and Brayden.  She would be going to Baker Elementary and be just a grade behind her cousin Silas.  I know they would all be such great friends.  Over these past years I have learned so much from her.  How to love better, how to lean on my Faith, how to take every moment as it comes and cherish all of them, to give back and help others, and to remember what is really important in life.

Mamie you are so loved!  We miss you so very much.  I know tomorrow will be an amazing day in Heaven as you celebrate your birthday.  We will be celebrating all you have done for us.  Even though you are not here we feel your presence every moment of the day.  You have changed us forever and I CANNOT WAIT to see you again.  What a day that will be!

Happy Birthday my precious love!

Burke is 3!!!!!

Okay I have decided that time is going by way too fast.  Burke just turned 3 the beginning of June!  I can not believe it.  I feel like just yesterday I was in the hospital having the little guy!  We had a fun small family party and he is loving some super hero's right now so that was the theme :)  Silas really wanted to jump out when he walked in and yell surprise so that is what we did :)  Burke is super shy and he really wasn't a fan of it all.  Pibby and Pops got him his first bike and it is SO cute.   I picked up a balloon for all the kids and one special spider man one for Boo.  He has always loved balloons.  He said the sweetest thing....... he wanted to let his balloons go up to Mamie so she would know that it was his birthday.  I couldn't believe he let his special Spider Man one go.  It made me want to cry.  She should be here with us.  ANYWAYS, it was a fun day and I got some pictures of course and a few videos.  Happy 3rd Birthday Burkie BOO!  We love you so so

NO FEAR!!!

I took the kids to the park this afternoon once the sun came out.  It was so beautiful and we love Woodlands Edge park.  Lots of trees, green space to run and Slides:) Winnie is small but that girl is mighty.  She has NO FEAR when it comes to the slides.  Which is totally different for me since Burke has always been so cautious.  I love days like this.  Feeling very blessed! - Sarah

Baby Burke- Please Pray

Taylor and I went in for our big ultrasound this morning. I am 18 weeks along now, so they were checking out our baby boy closely. They found 2 genetic markers that caused a red flag. One cyst on the brain and his kidneys are enlarged. We need lots of prayers right now. Prayers for these markers to disappear and for our baby boy to be healthy. We also need prayers for our sanity as we wait, hope and pray. We will go back for another ultrasound in 8 weeks (March 31). We were told not to look this up on the internet and would appreciate only positive comments on this situation. God is good and we are leaving it in His hands. Thanks for your prayers, Sarah
