It has been six weeks since our angel left us. We are very deep in grieving. Although it has gotten better with time, I am hurting, sad, and angry. I'm grieving the loss of our precious baby, the loss of being pregnant, and the loss of the plans and dreams we had for the upcoming months and even years. We miss Jeremiah all the time. It's hard and it hurts. I'm clinging to God's promises and rejoicing in knowing that he is in the arms of our Savior. He skipped all of the terrible pains of this world, and went straight to his eternal home. But selfishly, I want him here on earth with us. We love you, sweet angel.
Through the grieving, we are still living. We have two wonderful children here on earth and we are still enjoying time with them and making memories. Since it's been a while, here is what we've been up to the last month or so:
Alex played in many more soccer games, he loved it! He made his first actual goal at the last game, and was so proud!
We carved pumpkins of course (yeah, it's been a while... haha)
And the kids loved dressing up and going trick or treating! It didn't take long for Nathan to catch on and beg for candy! :)
We went to trunk-or-treat at church, then came home and trick-or-treated in our neighborhood for a bit too. It was a lot of fun!!
Alex got a trophy at his end of season soccer party! He carried it around with him for the next two days... so cute!
Michelle came for a visit over Veteran's day. We went to the American History museum and walked around downtown.
It was a fun couple of days!
She brought her puppy along, and the kids loved her!!
We decorated our tree really early this year... almost a full two weeks before Thanksgiving! We had to get it up before Gary's family came for the holiday because we always celebrate Christmas at Thanksgiving with his side of the family.
The kids are very excited for Christmas this year!
Gary's family came for the week of Thanksgiving! This was Thanksgiving morning when we decided we'd have "Christmas Morning" together!
We had a great week visiting with Gary's side of the family. The kids especially had a blast with all of the extra playmates and attention!
Keep praying for us through the holidays and as we approach our due date - this is a hard time of year to try to be joyful, happy and thankful in the midst of such pain.
