4 years

I will apologize now for the back posting but let's look on the bright side... at least I am posting right? It is hard to believe that it has been that long. We decided when we made the decision to move away from Rexburg that we would try to go back to our cemetery and visit the quads' grave every year on their birthday (January 31st). Even though it has only been a month since we left, we wanted to start things off right so we planned a weekend in Idaho.

Our trip was filled with visits with friends and family,

checking on the business, visiting the cemetery and freezing our tails off. Unfortunately we didn't get many pictures of anything but our visit to the cemetery.

We were lucky to be able to get to the grave. One year we couldn't even make it in the truck because of all the snow. This year we could drive right over, we just had to dig out the headstone. The boys had fun for a little bit trying to navigate the deep snow.


After a little bit we were all frozen and so we tried to explain to Luke why we were there and took a couple of pictures.


It is hard to describe my feeling and emotions that surround our babies. Sometimes it seems so surreal that all that happened to us and other times it is all too real. I look forward to the day that I can hold them, love them, and get to know them as I know my boys. Until then we have that one very special day where we were able to hold and love them and feel of their special spirits. They are definitely woven into the fabric of our lives.

That is beautiful. Grief teaches us things that nothing else can. I'm glad that you could make that special trek. Your example of strength and faith will be such a blessing for your younger children as well.
