Thanks Terri for doing my blog background! LOVE IT! SEriously though, where does the time/days/weeks/months go by? I really wanted to get some pictures of my trip to Pennsylvania on here, and have yet to do so. And now when I can....I'm not even on my own computer to do it.
So, my cute little tender hearted daughter is having a hard time. Her mind is so consumed and confused with death. Last Sunday in her CTR 5 class, a little boy started talking about his dead grandpa with blood coming out of his mouth, and then getting put into a "box". That did it for Ais, she looked up at her teacher and said....."Do I have to go in a box?" and started crying. After calming her fears, and reminding her that I'll be with her forever....she went back to class, and then after church was over...she wanted to tell me a secret...."Mom, will you ride with me to heaven?" "Yes, Aislee I promise, I'll ride with you to heaven"

I wish so bad I could take away those scary thoughts of death and heaven, and when will I have to go, and how will it happen......but all I can say about that is I'm so thankful I KNOW i'll be with her forever!
At least we're past the questions of "Will I get to see your face, or will my eyes be closed in heaven?" or "Can I take my bed and my clothes to heaven?" "And mommy, promise me I'll get to see your face forever and ever." She now knows one day she'll go there, but just wants me by her side to do it!
Does this death phase ever end........Or have I just started into the world of deep thoughts and hard questions to answer?????? It breaks my heart to know how much these thoughts are troubling her.

That is so sad Jamie.. She is such a sweet girl, you feel bad that she even worries about things like that. Hopefully it will get better soon. Give her a kiss for me, I miss you guys!

What a darling picture of Aiz.
I was just telling Aaron the other night, I just want our kids to stay the way they are right now forever! Children are so sweet, innocent, kind-hearted, and Christ-like.
Sometimes it just stinks to be a grown-up. Life just gets more and more complicated and sad sometimes.
Tell Aislee we love her and that she is sooo sweet.
jamie oh jamie where have you been??? CAN"T WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK ROOMIE!!!!
Jamie that is so sad and so PRECIOUS at the same time! Even when she doesn't understand it she knows that as long as mommy is there it will be okay! You are such a good mom! Your pictures are beautiful, I miss you! Love you!
