Have you ever.....


Made your own bouncy balls?

After Bridgett goes to bed Aaron and I usually have a couple hours of quiet time before it's his bed time, we often like to do a craft together. And tonight we made out own bouncy balls. How did we do this? Well It was a kit that I found at Walmart. It was simple, easy, fun and really not very messy at all!
Aaron had a great time, he made some for him, some for his Sister Bridgett and even one for Colette. He wanted to know if she would come down from Heaven and play with it, I told him no, but that she would know that he had though of her and that would make her very happy. He seemed satisfied with that response. If you ever get the chance, we think that making your own bouncy balls is a great way to spend some time.

They do have to be kept in a zip lock bag when you are not playing with them but that didn't stop Aaron and Bridgett from having a GREAT time with them!

A not so fun support group meeting

Tonight was our monthly support group meeting.   I was actually looking forward to it, and hoping that it would be a good meeting.  I have found some really wonderful friends there.  There were a lot of new people there tonight and I've never seen it so full.   Which of course is not a good thing.  It always makes me sad to think that someone else has to loose a baby too. However it was NOT a good meeting tonight.  I'm totally baffled how someone can sit in a room full of people who have ALL lost a child in one way or another and say that no one knows what they are going through and that what they went through is far worse than what everyone else has gone through... Yea for me personally a miscarriage would be far easier than what we did go through for Colette, but I would never say to anyone that had a miscarriage that what I went through was far worse than what they went through.  I would never dream of it!  Yet I had to sit through ...

The Story of our Baby Colette

On Jan 24th our beautiful daughter Colette Eliza Chadwick was born, I know I'm a bit behind on my blogging as today is Feb 18th but I've finally been able to get her story written, and while it is very personal I share this story with all my family with the hopes that you too will be able to know what a beautiful spirit she is, And how blessed we are to have her as part of our family. Colette Eliza Chadwick My Special Spirit We were so excited to be pregnant again. Aaron was five and Bridgett was almost two and we were so happy to add another special spirit to our family. The days passed and the baby grew, along with our love for it. The day came that we found out that we were having a girl and I was secretly delighted. Aaron was a bit disappointed at first but he found the prospect of having a new baby to be more exciting than whether it was a boy or a girl. And the days passed on. Bridgett loved to climb up into bed with me and snuggle against my t...
