2nd anniversary


Today is the 2nd anniversary of our sweet little man's death. We miss him very much and love him even more. This morning at breakfast we all told about what we remember and miss about him. Although we don't have to many memories we still have some. We miss being able to hold and snuggle him. He used to snuggle right into your neck and it was so sweet. When we first brought him home I put him in the bouncy seat and turned around for a minute to do something, when I turned back around he was hanging half off cause he was so little he didn't fit in it. Blake loved to give them there bath. I have never given Keagan a bath, Blake did them all. Paige misses seeing him sleep and being able to hold him. With our Eternal perspective we have grown to not be so heartbroken. We know that we will see him again.

To my sweet little man: Mommy loves you and is excited for the day that I will again be able to hold you in my arms and see you and Rylee together again. I love you so much sweetheart.



Tonight we are going to go to the park and let go of 41 balloons (1 for every day he was with us). We thought that this time we would take a marker with us and let Paige draw him a picture on one and write messages to him. I will post those pictures later when we are in Idaho.

It is also my dad's birthday and my niece's 1st birthday today so Happy Birthday guys!!!

It's hard for me not to cry when I think about you not having Keagan with you. I've been thinking about you all day and will be looking for the balloon pictures.

It was a beautiful tribute. I never got to see pictures of him. He sure was a cutie! I'm so grateful we are sealed to our families. I don't think I could live without knowing that.
