A Nice Weekend
I wrote this last week, but since I've been having problems just got to posting it...
First, I wanted to thank you all for your prayers last weekend as it was the one year mark of Samuel's home-going. The Lord was very good to us through it all. The headstone was laid when we went out there on Sunday which was a praise! We also were able to see where Seth's sister, Beverly, was laid to rest. It was a bitter-sweet day. Since we've crossed the date, the Lord has given us both an incredible peace that I can't explain. We still miss him so much, but we both know that this is what the Lord had in mind from the beginning. Again, thank you all for your prayers, the Lord has heard them and has been gracious to us!
We are in recovery mode from our trip to Iowa this past weekend. Seth, Wesley, Trevor and I went up. The boys went to the ISU vs. OU game on Saturday while I spent time with the family. It was so nice to be with them all. I miss them so much and can't wait to go back for Thanksgiving when we can hopefully spend a little more time together!
We had a nice time at a picnic in the park with Clayton and Halle. It was such a beautiful day at 75 degrees and sunny!
We also got to spend time with my brother and his wife's girls, Nora and one month old, Gillian. Little Gillian slept most the time, she was just so sweet and precious! Nora was a little shy and didn't talk much (I know she can, but she was just a little intimidated by everyone or stubborn one of the two!). They are just so sweet.
Hope you all had a nice weekend as well!

Problems formatting!
I am having the worst trouble with my blog. It won't let me start a new paragraph. It just ends up being one big clump! I write in the compose tab, I use Firefox - nothing works. Has anyone else had problems with this.
This is why I haven't been posting much, I just can't stand it looking like a clump. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I have to start a new blog I just may...

An answer to prayer!
About a month ago, we finally ordered a tombstone for Samuel. It was through a friend and he gave it to us for less than cost. He said that it would take a good month to get here. When I did the math, it was not going to get here by the anniversary of Samuel's home going. So I have been praying that it could somehow get here before this weekend. I was just thinking it would be hard to go to the cemetery without something to look at and remember our little one by.
Well, the Lord is so good and it came in today! He truly answers prayer. Thank you for those who prayed that this would come, it means so much. Here is a picture of the stone.

Sweet Phone Call
Today I got the sweetest phone call. My sister was showing my 4 year old nephew, Clayton, my blog. He saw all the pics of our Sunday School party a few weeks ago and I guess he got really upset and wanted to call me. Here was our conversation:
Me - "Hi, Clayton, why do you sound so sad?"
Clayton - "I want to make pancakes with whipped cream and strawberries"
Me - "Oh really?"
Clayton - "...and crafts"
Me (it clicked) - "Oh, did you see the pictures on my blog?"
Clayton - "yeah, and I really want to make pancakes and crafts with you"
Me - "Well, we will just have to do that when I come back in a few weeks!"
Clayton (still sad) - "ok, lub you..."
My sister got on and said he's been so sad and hadn't stopped talking about it since he looked at those pics.
This was just heart breaking for me to hear! For two years, I lived with my sister, Heidi, BIL Nate, Clayton, and Halle (she was actually born while I was there!). I used to take him in the jogger stroller, we would go to the park and play basketball or go get ice cream. It's just so sad that we live so far away and can't do the little things anymore. Oh well, we just have to make the most of those times we can spend together! Love you Clayton & Halle!
