Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving we celebrated at my parents' house, and we all felt the missing piece, Grandmom.  We all honored her by attempting to make one of the items she would normally bring on a holiday.  I brought the fruit and apple pie while Jennifer make her famous chocolate sauce.  I love how my family sticks together.  Yes, we are a crazy bunch, especially when we are together, but we do love each other.  We are there for each other when we need to be, and I am so thankful for each member of my family, those related by blood and those who actually decided they wanted to marry into the family. 

One of our favorite traditions is eating blueberries on Thanksgiving morning while watching the parade and drinking chocolate milk.  Walt loves blueberries, especially when they are in muffins!  I love that my parents come over to be with us too!

Magdalena Grace Roberts

This morning Magdalena left this world to be with Jesus. There really isn't too much else I can say but to please pray for Julie and Noah. For now, they do not want any calls, emails or visits. I will you keep you updated on the arrangements.

Making the Decision to Not Make the Decision

I get the question, "Are you going to have any more kids?" asked often. Since finding out Magdalena's diagnosis it was always a tough question to answer. We had always envisioned ourselves with multiple children, but there was always the lingering thought of having to endure this difficult situation again. Although it is less than a one percent chance that we would have another child with T18, the percentage still exists. When pregnant, I said multiple times that I couldn't do this again and my mom constantly reminded me that it is not always that difficult. Being pregnant was physically uncomfortable, but I was referring to the constant emotional exhaustion. As Magdalena continued to do well, Noah and I weren't sure when to begin thinking about other children. Noah and I discussed that I would work really hard at losing my weight, but I was willing to be five pounds more than what I was originally. People poked fun at my not eating Magdalena's birthday cakes...
