They say it comes in 3's...

I try not to write things that are of the sad nature & I actually felt bad for admitting Kaelah didn't like the drive to Utah.  But today, after a month where Danny and I have spent days crying after the announcement of what will lead to yet another funeral of someone who died all too young, I'm stealing a friend's words:

"I don't quite know the words to say,
I am sorry
You don't deserve it
but I love you."

Our love, prayers, & tears are dedicated to the Alley, Kunz, & Mackey families.  Life isn't fair when you loose a husband & father-to-be, a precious baby boy, or a vibrant, beautiful, caring woman but we know God loves us all and loved them even more than we did.  Here's to you,  John (Emily), Daxton (Doug), and Jana.  You are already missed more than you might ever know.

I guess it does come in 3's unfortunately...Or maybe when it rains it pours... I was sad with the news of John due to a double connection but my grandfather just passed and now a friend just lost one of her twins at 8 months and had and emergency c-section to deliver them. I'm grateful my grandfather gets to be with my grandma now, but it's just never fun when they have so much ahead of them... I hope you are doing well!

Precious Pumpkin

By Sarah
Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Danny's 1st Year Video

By Sarah
Exactly one year ago today we got a call from our case worker. He told us there was a birth mother thinking of placing her son with us for adoption. Usually he didn't make such phone calls before an official decision was made, but he felt that this little boy was meant for us & we needed a little warning b/c the due date was June 12. Low & behold, 4 days later he called to say Dani had chosen us to be her baby's parents. 2 weeks later, we were bringing Danny home from the hospital. It is difficult to believe Danny's birthday is only 2.5 weeks away. When I look back I feel he & I were a little gipped with me getting pregnant so soon after he was born & becoming a big brother at only 9.5 months, but he is so healthy & happy. There is no way he could have been any better of a baby... I'm convinced he is the easiest/best little guy to have ever graced the planet. We are so blessed. He is truly a joy of a boy.

No check up, but doing great!

By Sarah
The pediatrician thought Kaelah was doing well enough to skip her 15-month check up... but I can't resist a formal update before she turns 16-months-old tomorrow. Of course I'll put this first on the list: Kaelah said her first Chinese word last week! Bi zi for nose -- which she heard for the first time in Hawaii. Looks like I'll have to pick out word #2 soon! Kaelah is selective about the music we listen to now. She'll either say, "no" or begin dancing. We're thrilled she will now fold her arms while we pray over the food & by her crib at night. Kaelah will also say "yummmm" while eating & will give high 5's and knuckles. I think you'll pick up most of the rest from the video. (:
