Ken's Thoughts on Naomi's Heaven Day!

Three years ago today...my wife and I were in the hospital in a private room with my mom and sister, a nurse, and the unknown fear that we had just lost our five-and-a-half- week-old daughter. With tears streaming down our face, hugs that offered very little comfort, the gloom began to sink in on the loss of Naomi Ruth.

I would have thought that after three years, this memory would not be so painful, but for this year, this is not the case. It seemed that last year was not as bad, but this morning it feels different and I cannot help but think that this will NOT be the last time. Arrrrrrgh! Why? Why? Why? No earthly answer can be given...I just have to wait...that sucks!!!

A visit with Santa..

Below are pictures with Santa and the kids taken at Ken's work, Farm Bureau, here in Pocatello. It took place a week ago and the kids had a good time. After visiting with Santa and getting candy canes, we enjoyed cookies and hot chocolate in the lunch room of the building.


Kirsten and Santa, but I do not think that Kirsten quite knows what to think of what was going on. She only wanted the candy cane full of M&M's and did not know what else she was suppose to do on Santa's lap.

Doesn't the look tell it all....



So, the other two kids tried to show her what she was to do, but as you can see, she still did not pick up on what was going on...perhaps next year we can get her to smile...maybe?

I guess it could have been worse because she definitely was not scared or crying.
