Our week

Last Tuesday we had the oppotunity to take the kids down to the Draper Temple Open House. I was so excited to show our kids where families are sealed for Time and All Eternity. I was so overcome with emotion when stepping through the doors. I began to cry and had to buck up because I didn't want to lose it. I was filled with so much peace, peace I had been wanting for sometime. I know Harrison was with us that day. I know Heavenly Father was telling me that we will be together again and I know that Harrison loves us. It was so Beautiful and I was just so grateful for the opptunity to take the kids. As we stepped into a sealing room, they shut the door behind our group and a couple stood and talked about how that is where families can be sealed forever. Trent and I began to cry, the spirit was so strong in testifying that they were right. We are an eternal family.

The kids loved it, Ruby the whole time kept saying, "How awesome!" I feel that taking my family to the temple that day helped me get through last week. Sunday was my due date and honestly I can say that it was not what I expected. I was ok. I think the days leading up to the date were harder, thinking about how I'd still be pregnant and looking forward to his birth. But the day came and went and I know nothing will change other than me. I have felt peace. We took the day and went to visit his grave. We took some balloons and some flowers. The kids love visiting Harry. Some of Trents family came and all the kids held onto the last balloon and all at once while letting go said, "We love you Harry!" It was so sweet. I still do miss him but the pain is starting to go away. I am beginning to realize how blessed I am and I feel so blessed to be an Angel Mommy. I feel as though I can finally look to my future as one with hope, gratitue, service, and love. Thank you all for the love, support, phone calls, cards, flowers, dinner, and prayers. You will never know how much they helped us. Also on Saturday I had the opportunity to take my Grandpa Roy and Grandma Ruby to the salon. Neither can drive anymore so their kids take turns each Saturday. Well, my parents were not able to take them so I did and I really had a nice time. It was so good to spend time with them. They took me and my family to lunch, it was a nice day. I love them and I am so happy that my kids have had the oppotunity to know my grandparents.

And last, the sick. I thought we had made it through winter without getting sick, but Hudson got the stomach flu last weekend poor guy. And now Ruby has Croup. Oh my, isn't it the scariest thing ever? Ruby has the worst croup ever. It is scary because there is not much you can do, their airway closes off and they have a seal like bark and can barely breathe. Saturday night, Ruby and I didn't sleep at all, I think we finally fell asleep at 6am. I debated over and over if I should take her to the ER. The night was spent in the bathroom with the hot water turned on or outside on our deck trying to help her breath. Well Sunday she just wasn't getting any better so we took her to an urgent care that night and they put her on steroids. She is still my little seal but I think the scariest is over thank goodness. I was just saying how we got through the winter without getting too sick and then walla, Spring hits and well, so does Croup.
