We're Back

We finally arrived back in Washington late last night. Talk about a crazy experience, flying with three 9 month olds and a four year old. On top of all that we had so much stuff. We had six suitcases two boxes, four carseats, a playpen, eight carryons, two suction machines (which we carried on as medical equipment and two strollers. It was great cause they ended up giving us preboarding since we had the medical equipment and the gate attendent ended up helping us get all of our stuff on the plane. It feels good to be home but has been extremely hard not having Ben with me. As we were heading towards baggage claim we passed by the restaurant where Ben and I had met up with my mom, Hilary, Percy and the kids during our lay over on the way to Texas. It was just a reminder of how far we have gone and how he is no longer here with me. This weekend I am going to Wenatchee and looking forward to seeing my grandpa and everyone else who cares for me. Also my car is getting shipped back from Texas and should arrive on Friday so I am looking forward to having it back again. Over the next couple of weeks I will begin to sort out my life and move to Spokane. Also we have set a date for the memorial service that we will have out west. It will be Saturday, December 6th in Wenatchee. For those of you who don't know December 6th is Ben's birthday and when I found that it fell on a Saturday I knew there would be no better day to celebrate his life. As we get more information I will let you know. Thanks for all your prayers and if you would continue to keep us in your prayers we would greatly appreciate it.

We are so glad you all made it home safe. What an amazing struggle! Can't wait to see you guys but it kills me the docs said we had to wait six weeks before we can cause of risk to Bella. Oh well, we don't need another sick baby. Love you so much. Thanks again for having a service out here for all of us who want to celebrate Ben's life.

Your faith is incredible. Actually amazing. We are all praying for you at Target Wenatchee.

6 weeks? Is that because of the RSV virus? So does that mean I can't see you either because Zmo might catch it? Argh!

Hang in there. We are here for you in any way you need us. Don't be afraid to ask.
