Logan’s Birthday

Happy Birthday to Logan!  This year, Logan had a snow day on his birthday so we postponed his birthday dinner by one day and met my parents at a Japanese restaurant, House of Kobe, for Logan’s birthday meal.  The next weekend, he had a birthday party with two school friends at Sky Zone (indoor trampoline center) with pizza and ice cream at our house afterward.

Rainbows and Promises

Eight years in heaven for our Brianna Dawn today.  We visited her grave and the cupcake shop yesterday, and today we’re watching the snow fall outside and remembering those days of prayer and sorrow and thanking God that He keeps His promises.

Yesterday was a bright sunny day at the cemetery, and it reminded me of the rainbow we saw 8 years ago on our way out the door to Brianna’s funeral.  A rainbow in February.  I’ve never seen a February rainbow since, but it was a beautiful gift and a reminder to hold on to His promises in the midst of heartache.

We sure do miss her, though.  Thanks to those who have remembered Brianna with us today.  We trust that God is good, even when life doesn’t make sense, and we believe that someday He will make all things right.  Our eyes are fixed on these promises.
