Miscarriage

Not sure what to say here other than this is a difficult time for us.   This, our first pregnancy, has been a roller coaster ride of ups and downs.  The high points of seeing the heartbeat, trying to choose a name, celebrating my first Mother's Day to low points of hearing "there is no growth", seeing no heartbeat or getting sick from anesthesia.  

It is now several weeks later and I can tell you that I'm healed physically but have a ways to go emotionally.

Outdoors at Lanny's

Look at all of this green...we've been missing it! We had fun with yard games, fishing and being the family.

Could this Dog be any cuter?  We were delighted to know that our dog recognized us after almost a year away from us.  He's being spoiled by my family!

Stepping Stones

My Aunt Patty is working on her garden and wanted each of us to design a stepping stone for her.  See our creative juices flowing!

Little Red River

We canoed for 3.5 hours on the Little Red.  Isaac fished with his Finding Nemo fishing pole (that had a yellow fish attached so that he always caught something) and John Richard and David fished.

Clown Pool

Isaac played in his clown pool with his uncles and by the looks on his face he had a great time!
