April 17, 2010: Sarah would be two now. Here's a picture of Joseph and River where we buried her ashes, along with some flowers my parents sent for her. It was a really hard day, harder than we expected actually. A lot of healing has taken place in our hearts, but something in us still can't shake the "unfinished" feeling. Maybe we'll carry it with us forever, who knows...we sure do wish she was here with us. River would have loved having a big sister!
River is quickly on his way to being mobile! He's scooting around, but not quite crawling yet. It's fun watching him change and grow...and the smallest accomplishments feel so big! This is a picture of him standing in the VW on a camping trip we were on up north.
River has pets! Well, kindof. Joseph and I worked night and day building a chicken coop and getting our yard ready for 6 hens. River LOVES them, plus we're loving the 6 fresh eggs we're getting every day. We live just blocks away from the ocean in a family oriented neighborhood, but something about these chickens in our yard transformed our "urban" feeling home to a "ranch" feel. We're loving it! We call them the ladies...each one has been named as well, but every morning when we go to let them out of the coop River is beside himself with excitement. What a fun adventure its been! Next stop, the veggie garden. (isn't River looking so grown up!?)
