Rest in Peace Baby Declan

this week is another heartbreaking one, as another angel has gone home to heaven. we have been following Declan's journey since he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer about 6 months ago. each day would start with a smile or some tears as i read the latest update of this little warrior's battle against this ugly disease. again, the reminder of how blessed we are that our children are healthy and how our normal, mundane lives are such a blessing. thank you God. we can only imagine the pain that this family is feeling as they grieve the loss of this precious baby boy. Lord, please embrace them with your strength, love and peace as they navigate this journey through the loss of a child.

Family Foto (notso) Fun!

are we the only family who can't get a good family photo? today i decided to take only 3 of our 4 children, leaving the one who hates getting pictures taken, at home (figuring i would take him on a trip by himself). here you can see that even with only a partial crew in tow, we can't get a decent family picture.....ugh!
