Shortly after the boys passed away, I realized that much of my grief was for lost memories... for moments that we would never experience or celebrate with them...
We celebrate the three amazing children that we've been blessed to parent here on earth.
We celebrated Jordy's 3rd birthday with a Buzz Lightyear cake (definately the most difficult one I've attempted so far)...
...we celebrate Abby's acro accomplishments...
...we celebrate the wonder of Shrinky Dinks!
... we celebrate Abby's 7th birthday and her love of dogs with Petshop puppy cupcakes...
... we celebrate winter by sliding down hills...
...and warm mittens...
...and backward rolls when crazy carpets stop and Jude keeps going...
...we celebrate the imagination that a big treadmill box can ignite...
... we celebrate the coming of spring with hot maple syrup poured onto the snow for a special treat...
...we celebrate the fun of styrofoam packing peanuts (cleaning up... not so fun...)
... we celebrate with tie-dye t-shirts made at playschool
... we celebrate Jude's imagination in creating "Sideswipe" the snowman...
... we celebrate Jordy learning to navigate the monkey bars at gymnastics...
As much as we celebrate Abby, Jude & Jordan, we miss all the celebrations we would have had with Josh & Jonah.
