Sorry, the pics are backwards in events (starts with most recent) but this first picture explains exactly how I feel right now!
How I found Lucy after a I got out of the shower. We had just gotten home from a long run and she had been up a lot the night before. She's naked b/c she spilt water all over her in the trailer. They were watching a movie. Pretty cute...this kind of thing NEVER happens.
At Eden's (cousin) birthday party
At Stephen's (brother) house. Went up to stay the night while Erin was in the hospital delivering Bruce at 28wks! So thankful everything went well!!

I love all the new pictures. I hope you're doing well. You have a cute family!
Crystal I loved how you did this! The pictures are great! Thanks again for taking care of my kids. I love you!!!!!
Thanks for the update. The pics made us happy, your kids have great little smiles!
Ah, they are so stinkin' cute! Lucy is a little chipmunk just as you say! You look Fabulous!!!!!
Oh Crystal I am so sorry to hear what happened. I can't believe we were in the hospital at the same time and both dealing w/tragedy in our lives. I had James on Feb 23rd but he was rushed to Primary Childrens by life flight b/c of a Diaphragmatic Hernia and gave him 50% chance of living. Very scary and emotional time for us of course. He did great though and was out and home 2 wks later thank goodness.
I started crying when I saw the pics of her molds. How precious but you are amazing to be able to feel so much peace and comfort in such an emotional time. Aren't those hand and foot molds amazing! They did that for my twins that came at 29 wks and didn't make it - I love having those memories to hold on too. Hope your doing well and love all your pics and the way you did this update!!
