Aubrey

Kami and Steven were down this past weekend so Kami could go to the Dr.'s and have another ultra sound. Aubrey now weighs 3 1/3 pounds, still at 1% on the growth chart. One of the pictures below is one of the problems she has and that is a whole in her heart. I have learned more about genetics in the past few months! I had never heard about Trisomy 18 before. Kami is 35 weeks and the time is coming soon. As a mother I want to take all the pain away from Kami and Steven if Aubrey doesn't live long. I have problems with wanting to be in control and I have no control over what happens with Aubrey. We are praying for her and hope that we all get to keep her for some time. I know we have trials in life and they help us grow and become better people but some trials seems so hard to bare. I know that this is in the Lords hands and that he loves us. We will make it through this. We will love every minute we get with Aubrey. It has been so wonderful to have these 3 & 4D ultrasounds to watch her grow. We can even see hair starting to grow. I will keep you posted.

The joy's of music

Madison has been taking cello for two years now and is doing very well. She plays at school. We hope she keeps it up. She wishes at times she played the violin, it is not as big to carry around!

She is also in her 2nd year of piano. On Feb. 2 she played in an piano Ensemble with 20 othe piano's on the stage playing at the same time. It sounds so wonderful as they play different parts to make up the song. It is a great experience.

The Wedding

Kami and Steven were married July 6, 2006. It was a wonderful day and we love having Steven in our family. Darryl decided to do a power point for the lunchen after the sealing and he had several pictures of him with guns telling Steven if he didn't treat his daughter right he would be around! It was quit funny!

Isn't he to cute!

The four of us...

This is one of our pictures taken up at Kami and Steven' house. We went to the apple orchard and had a fun day with them. It seems wierd to only have two kids at home. We are enjoying the though! They make us laugh.

Sweet 16...

Leslie went to the ROTC Ball. She had fun and loved being all dressed up!

ddddddddddddd

This is Leslie's new hair cut! She was supose to keep it long and give her hair to "Locks of love" but couldn't take it any longer...

Craig's mission

Craig left for Brazil June 26, 2007. I can't believe it has been 8 month since he left. Most of the time it seems like it has gone by fast. It has been wonderful to watch him grow up to be a wonderful man from a wonderful boy. He loves Brazil and the people he works with. We have felt the blessings in our lives with him serving the Lord.

He is serving in Victora Espirito Santo...I am assuming that is in Brazil! It is actually the City of Victora and the state of Espirito Santo. It was a 7 hour bus ride from Rio. He loves it there and is about a mile from the beach. We love to hear from him every Wednesday. If anyone would like to write here is his address:

4D Ultra sound

This is a 4D picture of Aubrey, my soon to be granddaughter (what a sweet little face). Kami and Steven are due to have Aubrey March 22, 2008. I am so excited to be a grandma! We look forward to her arrival and will enjoy all the time we get to have with her. We found out in December that Aubrey has Trisomy 18 (http://www.trisomy18.org). According to the Dr's. she has a 10% chance of living 1 month and 1% chance of living a year. We will take what the Lord gives us! We know we will have her in the next life. We are of course still praying for our miracle.

In January she was weighed 2 1/4 pounds. We are hoping to fatten up our sweet little girl before she is born to give her more of a chance to live a little while. I will keep you posted on how she is doing!
