April Today

April 1st. Really?
The month of April for me has always been associated with the most horrible moments of my life. When something very terrible happens, it seems it's hard not to let the gray clouds surround the memories, they just come back year after year, you can't help it. Then last April we got to welcome our sweet little Braden to our family, and this year I find that my heart is full of the joyful memories of his birth and brand new baby days; they are sunshine to my soul. The sorrows of the losses are still there, but the joy of receiving this beautiful sweet little boy shines brightly over them. I am so grateful for all he is in our lives, so grateful to be his mother, so grateful for my smiley little caboose.


Deacon, aka Iron Man, with his "special power" gloves.

Isaac with his snap circuits. He will sit for hours snapping together different projects that each perform various actions. Such a smarty.


I've been trying with all my might not to let this one grow up, but here he is just ready to take those first steps any day. 








Braden has this thing with open doors of any kind. If it is open, he must close it. Always. No exceptions

You are one brave lady! The thought of going back to school actually makes me vomit a little. But then, I'm pretty convinced that my brain has turned to mush.

PS-I never knew you were such a smarty pants! Weren't you always the one skipping classes with me???

PSPS-I have heard of Premsyn, (sp?) Dave bought me some a while ago. :)

LOVE the pictures of your many adventure with your kids! You always have the best pictures. You could make $ being photographer. But taking pics of your little ones is probably the most rewarding. :) Thanks for all the updates! I'm so glad for you that you don't have to take classes right now, its so much better when you choose when you want to take them. Good job Steph, it just takes bugging the right people. ;) We should have a party. Oh, and if we ever want a girls night at Rock Rococo's, I have a coupon! :)
