He loves to sleep with his arms above his head...it is so sweet!!
Luke enjoying being a big brother!!!
Drew-6 days old
Well hadn't got a chance to put up a picture of Lily's headstone yet. Was going to get on here and write a little something on her birthday, but just didn't feel up to it. The last year has been a roller coaster of all different emotions, and with the birth of Drew it is all bitter sweet. We are so thankful for him and enjoying every moment with him, but my heart still breaks and yearns for Lily. Especially now realizing all that I missed out on with her. Her birthday was a hard day...thinking about all the what if's and could have beens and also reliving that day one year ago.
Drew is already 2 weeks old today..I can't believe it. It has been flying by, and makes me sad. With Luke I was always looking forward to the next stage in his life, seeing him do the next big thing. But now I want to soak in each day and realize that they are only this little for such a short time. I guess after you have had one already and you see how fast they have grown you realize that it goes by way to fast. He is changing alot and it has been fun to see the differences in personality with Luke and Drew as babies. Even though as much as I think they look alike at times and there is a lot of stuff that reminds me of Luke as a baby..they are so different too.
My mom has been here now for almost a month and she is leaving in a week. It is going to be hard to see her leave. I love having her here and so does Luke of course. She has been such a great help. We have a good routine down and I guess I will have to adjust to a new one after she leaves. But she might be back in November for a few days and then in December for Luke's birthday, so that will be nice. Especially since she no longer has email so I won't be able to send her updated picture of Drew and I am not so good about printing them out and sending them by snail mail :-)
Well hope everyone is doing well...hope to post again soon!!!

That is such a cute picture of Drew sleeping with his arms above his head. It is so interesting how, even as babies, they have these cute little quirky habits! My mom said I slept like that as a baby (I still sleep like that, actually, except now that I'm pregnant and don't sleep on my back so much).
That really is a cute headstone for Lily. It reminds me of my little brother's. I can only imagine the bittersweetness you are going through right now. It would be so nice if people didn't ever have to go through things like that. I talked with Bro. Alan about their loss a little bit, and now they have a little one to hold. I will send a little prayer for you that God will continue to give you strength and comfort. I love you!
Thanks for posting the pics. You have such a beautiful family.
Ooooh, babies are so cute! He is just darling! What a little sweetheart baby! I'm so sorry for what you are going through about Lily. I can't imagine losing a child. I like her headstone, though. You are still in my prayers.
I hadn't realized that you had posted another post. Very cute pics of Drew. And Lily's headstone is very pretty. I'm sure it was a hard day for you. It is hard to believe a year has already gone by. It has been quite the year for you. I'm so thankful that you have a new little bundle of joy!
Awwww he is so cute! It does go by waaaaay too fast. I can't believe that Boaz is going to be 6 months in a couple of days either. Im sure it is all bittersweet, but keep dwelling on good things. Drew makes that pretty easy, Im sure!
Love you guys!
