Well a year ago tonight I wasn't getting much sleep. I was so nervous/anxious about my Dad's surgery. October 26th turned out to be the saddest day of my life. I know it was my Dad's happiest day though, so that makes the ache a tiny bit better. Adasen has missed a year of my Dad. A year of his smile, his laugh, his hugs and kisses, and his singing. Adasen loves to sing and I just wish that my Dad could be around to see how much he loves to sing. My Dad used to have a singing each month at my Mom and Dad's home. He started doing it around the time I moved back and I would go each month because I completely missed my Dad being at church and hearing him sing. Those were some of my favorite times with him. He was singing with all his heart, to the Almighty God, as he sat there with his oxygen tank...I can't get that out of my head, and I never will. If my Dad were still alive he would still be having those singings and now Adasen would be singing along too instead of falling asleep. I just hope that when our praises go up to Heaven to God that everyone there can hear them as well, so my Dad can hear my little boy singing to God with all is might, in his own little language. :o) I really hope he can hear that.


Well, Zach and I decided that since October 26th was such a bad day last year that we wanted to share some good news this year...we're pregnant! Well, I'm pregnant but you get what I mean. :o) Baby O is due June 14th, 2011. We were able to hear his or her heartbeat today and see them wiggling around inside me. God has truely blessed us again. He has blessed us beyond what we could have ever imagined with Adasen, so I can only imagine what it will be like with two little angels running around. :o)


"The Lord gives, and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord." Job 1:21b
