Ethan's Birthday

Ethan's first birthday was bittersweet, but it was wonderful to remember. Brian and I discussed how we wanted to remember and decided to make it a day we spent together. My one request was that I get to make a card for his birthday (the one I posted on that day) and it was nice to have something to focus on.  On the 28th, we went and bought flowers for the cemetery and a little cross. My aunt made us a few arrangements we are going to switch out later on in the year so he will always have flowers.

 

The rest of the day was quiet. We watched his NILMDTS slide show for the first time. It was beautiful and  I'm glad we have it in addition to the pictures. I think Bri and I needed the day to just love on each other and remember, and I'm happy that we were able to spend the time together in Georgia.

Miscellaneous Update

We haven't fallen off the face of the earth, I promise! 

• Ethan's birthday was a nice, quiet time. I hope to post about it later, but wanted you to know we are okay. Thank you for all your thoughts, emails, and prayers!
• This is an excellent post by Molly Piper that I just had to share. All about brokenhearted love. Many people exhibit this and don't even realize it.
• Mom and I have been sewing like crazy! We have re-purposed a few things for Reagan (a nice way to let your creative juices flow without lots of expense). We've also been trying to get ready for the upcoming festival season getting dresses and bows ready. I'm excited to share them with you.

That's it, I lead an exciting life ;). What have you been up to lately?
