Blessed

When Blake and I were getting ready to move to Kansas I was really worried that we would not have any friends. We have great friends back in Idaho and were really sad to leave them. Well much to our surprise we have got some amazing friends out here. In a way they have become like family. Last Monday I was having a hard day and so my friend Sally showed up on Tuesday with this wonderful cupcake. It is from a cupcake place here named Daddy Cakes. Let me just tell you that it was absolutely sinful. I was very touched by her thoughtfulness. We are so blessed out here to have found as great of friends as we have back in Idaho.

Big Girl and Freedom

Oh no here goes the neighborhood. Rylee has known for awhile now how to climb out of her crib but was really good to stay in it. Until recently. She has started climbing out about 6 times a night so I finally relented and took her crib down so that she wouldn't hurt herself. So she is now in a big girl bed. She still gets out a lot but at least she won't hurt herself by doing it.

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

I came across this video yesterday while I was looking at a friends blog and wanted to post it here. I had never heard of this organization before but it is an amazing thing that they are doing. I wanted to get the word out that this organization exists and thought that if you know anyone that goes through losing their child you could suggest this to them. I am so grateful that we have so many pictures of Keagan. It is the only thing that we will ever have of him. Anyways I will put a disclaimer that this video tugs on the heart strings. I cried when I saw it so if you don't think you are strong enough please don't watch it. Just know that there is an organization called Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep that will come to the hospital and take pictures of a baby that was still born or that is not expected to live very long. They are all volunteers and so it is free to the family.
