Class week one


So tonight was my first class for flowers and cake design,  It was fun… we used  gum paste and fondant (it’s not my most favorite thing, it’s kind of like playing with playdough…and when you are done you attach it to a cake.  Fondant is weird to me no one really like to eat it,  but they just like how it looks.  Fondant is probably the one class that I might take just to learn a little bit but not really invest to much into.)  But it was still fun to see how a few flowers are made.  Tonight we did a daisy and a pansy.  want to see pictures?






Yes and there you have it,  kind of like playing with play-dough!  I came home and told mom that the cake the book showed had about 50 pansies on it and it took me 2 hours to make 2,  yep I sure hope I get faster soon!!!  But honestly I can’t wait to learn more how to make flowers using the piping bags and tips.
After my class my good friends Jennifer and Melissa stopped by,  We were going to walk up to the cemetery and visit Colette but it was so violently windy outside we just drove up instead,  Jennifer brought these darling flowers to leave for Colette, and we dropped them off and stood huddled at her headstone while we froze.  I hope you can tell we love you Coeltte!!!


After the cemetery we went back to our house and hung out for a while,  we even pulled out the VHS of my College Ballroom Dance days, and sat and watched it together.  Thanks guys it was so fun to reminisce with you :)

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

Image
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...
