I am trying a new layout from Pyzam which requries using the new version of blogger and as a result I have a lot of work to do to get everything back up and running. It looks fairly easy its just going to require lots of steps... stay tuned for updates ;)

Annual Parent Care Christmas Service...
Once again we joined the members of our miscarriage support group for an evening of reflection. Its such a simple yet special service and it reminds us that we are not alone. It was wonderful to see everyone and to take a little time to think about our three little angels.

Your Christmas Sprit Level: 90% |
 Your Christmas spirit is almost as big as Christmas itself. Christmas is definitely your thing. You celebrate Christmas with enthusiasm. You love every minute of the holidays. Your Christmas spirit is inspiring to everyone who runs into you during the holidays. You make everyone's day just a little bit brighter. And that's what the holidays are all about! |

Me.....
You Are Dancer |
 Carefree and fun, you always find reasons to do a happy dance. Why You're Naughty: That dark stint you had as Santa's private dancer. Why You're Nice: You're friendly. Very friendly. |

 A total daredevil, you're the reindeer with an edge! Why You're Naughty: You almost gave Santa a heart attack when you took him sky diving Why You're Nice: You always make sure the sleigh is going warp speed |

Made a Lemon Meringue pie tonight.....
... and now here I am wishing Virginia was here to share a piece with me and have a cup of tea. Just as when we lost mom and dad I think of her at the sillest times and wish she were still here. I actually got teary as I was making up the meringue with the beaters that were hers... and laughing that the damn stuff was actually working as it should. I think it was her looking over my shoulder from heaven coaxing it along :) I think of her often s I am cooking a meal... getting just the right amount of butter to fry the pork cutlets in, just enough water not milk to make super fluffy scrambled eggs and omlettes, eating super crusty buns with a cup of tea. Such simple memories to some and yet so meaningful to me. I don't think I ever told her enough how much I loved her though part of me knows that she knows. So I shall go have my piece of pie and maybe shed a tear or two for this amazing woman who I so wish could still be with us :(

Walk to Remember....
Today was Edmontons first Walk to Remember to support all the families who have lost a baby to miscarriage, stillbirths, early infant death or SIDS. It was a very meaningful and touching day. About 350 people showed up to walk today and its sad to think that we all have a bond with each other that none of us really wants and yet it is special to have that bond and to know we are not alone in our journeys.
The walk was held at the leg grounds and was followed by a balloon release. I loved the balloon release... each little life lost was named and the family would release the balloon in that moment... very powerful. Along part of the walking path the name ofevery baby being remembered at todays walk was written.... it was quite the site.
Here are a few pictures from the day. Jay found three different spots that held three things... maybe it was meant to be a sign to us to let us know that our angels are together :)
The walking path with the names and our angels.....
The balloon release. Peanuts balloon got stuck.....
Jays sets of three
And just one of us :)

Please Pray for a Family from my home town...
Their beautiful teenage daughter was attacked and killed while out on a walk yesterday afternoon. This is a horrible senseless tradgey and it has me wondering what on earth is the world coming to when a young girl isn't even safe to walk a trail in her little home town. :(
Her dad has written briefly on his blog...

Its been just over a month....
since we all said good-bye to Virginia... and she sure has been on my mind.
I see her picture in my living room smiling looking for full of life and happiness. I wish she was here with us still. I wish that the good byes never had to come. I was jumping around random myspace pages this morning and found this song and thought I would share it with you all. The lyrics are so pretty! And are so true. .. I love you Virginia and you will Never be Forgotten
"Never Be Forgotten"
Jessica Andrews
I’ll always see your face
The corner of your smile
And all the little things that no one will ever know
Like it was yesterday, won’t ever fade away
Goodbye is just a word that I will never say
You will never be forgotten
A million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream
Oh I still feel you here with me
You’re more than a memory
Oh you will never be forgotten
I can‘t hold your hand
Or look into your eyes
And when I talk to you
It just echoes in my mind
But If hearts are made of dust
And if we fell from the stars
I look up tonight and know just where you are
You will never be forgotten
A million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream
Oh I still feel you here with me
You’re more than a memory
Oh you will never be forgotten
And the world just keeps on going
It has no way of knowing
That you’re gone
You will never be forgotten
A million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream
Oh I still feel you here with me
You’re more than a memory
Oh you will never be forgotten
