great post, so many different things here. so sorry for peyton, it's so sad for kids when a pet dies. hoping all you are doing to help her is giving her comfort. love seeing kelle's party from your perspective. it looked awesome. i really love the shadowy pics of the kids by the tree. gorgeous, and those candles with cranberries are awesome!

Hope your time with Gram is beautiful. It's so hard, though you know reality it is still hard. Thinking of you as you struggle through this. Losing a loved one is never easy.

I LOVE the ultrasound pic of tagalong. sigh...what a cutie!! Loved what you said about the names too. hehe husbands are so great with names sometimes huh. lol

Hope you get an extra dose of cheer. and find comfort in your precious family. :) I wish there was something to say to help, but I will be keeping you in prayer, and your gram, and the whole family during this tough time.

I read your blog awhile back, then forgot about it, and just remembered it again! It's great! And it's bookmarked now! I love your writing, photography, decorations, food, and your children are precious. Congrats on your pregnancy! We used that same kind of twine and hung cut-outs (from family fun website) of felt snowman, gingerbread men, Christmas trees, stars, ornaments and snowflakes decorated with pom-pom balls and glitter, and hung with the same little clips you have! Merry Christmas!

I miss my Nana so much at this time of the year. I think the fact that we love them so much will always make losing them so.very. hard. and we will always miss them. You really are blessed to have a husband who wants to give you this special time with your grandma and he is blessed with a lovely wife who has such a huge capacity to love. So sorry about Bunny..that is so tough on a little heart. Hugs to you and your baby bump is wicked sweet! ♥♥♥

2011-12-12T20:38:06.551-05:00

So sorry to hear about your Grams. It must be very difficult watching someone who is so dear to you become frail and weak with age. I lost both my Grandmothers unexpectedly. It was hard, but I never watched them become different, they left my life older but very closely resembling the same women they were when they entered it.

I know the circle of life is just that and people have to go so that other may come...but it doesn't make it easier.

Hope you are feeling better soon and hope you and your Grams have the best time ever during your visit. Keeping you both in prayer :)

Cried about twice reading this and smiled 150. What a good, good post. So sad to hear abt your grandma and the guinea pig BUT I find myself excited too about the baby and can't wait to see what it is. Thanks for brightening my day :)

I am sure that Bunny is in a good place with my childhood bunny called GP(for guinea pig) probably laughing about their names! Poor little lady, hope shes feeling better.

Whoa. All this Christmas stuff is making me dizzy with lurve! Were doing our place this weekend and I am now inspired!

I just absolutely love your space and your tribe. And you. Which is kinda weird but what can I say, you're just so darn freshing. Wishing you rest (ha!) and sleep (ha!) these last 15 weeks. xoxo

2011-12-08T21:00:58.587-05:00

I really wish I could take a photog class from you!!!! I love the blurry/focus pic of oatmeal and candles. You do a fabulous job of making me think you are blogging from somewhere in the cold. Finally, I may have told you this before but my philosophy of grandmothers is simple as it was given to me by a small town hair stylist after mine died; she said, " no one loves you like your granny does." Amen to that. XO

I'm so glad you posted. :) I have been blog-stalking you. LOL! Very cool Christmas stuff you guys have going on! I hope you have a good loving visit with your Gram, I completely understand the anger that you are feeling. {{hugs}} for you & yours!

Heidi I can imagine how hard it is to be away from family when all you want to do is be close to them at a time like this.

You look beautiful carrying your sweet 25 week old baby :) Love your waiting for the surprise.. I can remember like it was yesterday hearing them say "its a girl" :)

Such sweetness, Heidi!! Sounds like you are doing ...

Such sweetness, Heidi!! Sounds like you are doing the best you can with all that's on your plate!

Loved your post! I really like the idea of pinning cards on twine. I usually staple mine to ribbon. And the party that Kelle had??? OMGOSH! What a fun idea. Moms like that make me feel so inadequate ;-) Sorry to hear about Bunny. It is so heartbreaking to see your children so sad :-( Have a merry Christmas!

2011-12-08T12:17:39.391-05:00

So sorry to hear about your Grandma, it is so hard. I am thankful for you that you'll get to spend some more precious time with her. Some day you will tell stories to tag-a-long how s/he was in your belly and got to hear Great-Grandma's voice and be in her presence.
I enjoy the realness of what you post. Helps put things into perspective sometimes.

2011-12-08T11:15:52.666-05:00

Gosh i'm emotional... I cried reading this! :) Anyway...I hope Peyton is feeling better...my Ella is just going back to school today after battling strep throat. Now I'm just waiting for Ava to get it! ...hopefully not!
Sorry to hear about the guinnea pig...we lost a dog this summer - my girls are still upset. Its so hard to explain that to them!
I hope you enjoy your your time with your grandma...its so hard...Love to you and your growing family! Baby looks perfect! :)
