For My Ikea People

You have to love that.

Tonight Awana starts and my Emmie is going to be a cubbie. When did she get so big? Allie is going to be a spark this year. Both girls are extremely excited.

The last week has been a little bit easier as far as grieving is concerned. At a moms group I went to Monday night I almost felt like leaving because there were so many little nursing babies there. And then yesterday I was looking for something in the garage and came across a box labeled "baby boy clothing". I was thinking about whether or not we should even hold on to Ryan's old boy stuff. We cleaned all of our baby girl stuff out as soon as we found out that we were having a boy. I don't know. I guess the best thing to do is not make any decisions right now.

Yeah. I say you hold on to them. You'll be able to make a more 'informed' decision in a year or so.

Love the comic, so true!! Maddy is a little hesitant about Sparks. I told her last night that Allison (she loves when Allie goes to the 2nd service :) ) was going to be in there and that seemed to help. Hopefully tonight goes good. I am looking forward to seeing Emily in Cubbies! Crazy how fast time goes, next year Bryson will be a Cubbie too!

Know that we are still praying for you as you continue on this journey and in the grieving process. The Lord has amazing things in store for you. I am sure of it. :)

Sorry for such a long comment :)

Carson started Cubbies this year too. Isn't it funny how that makes them seem so old? Garrett loves Sparks. It's a very different thing from Cubbies though!
Even as the grieving process becomes a little "easier" don't be surprised when you're hit by those moments when it's suffocating again. It's totally normal. You're still surrounded by love and prayers!

I was so happy to see you there on monday! I am really glad that you stayed, Laurie always such awesome things to say, but the fact that you came really showed me a woman of strength.
