While I was at work, Trent and Aspen got

out the Christmas tree. Of coarse Aspen

wanted to try on the tree skirt.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

We had a great Thanksgiving dinner with

my family. The food and company were fantastic.

Sneak preview of our Christmas card. More

pictures to come..........!!!!!

Raiders Burn :-(

On Tuesday November 22 Raider got a nasty burn on his left hand

from our heater. We took him to the pediatrician, she put cream on it

and wrapped it. The pediatrician said it was a third degree burn.

She was worried his hand would heal in a curled up ball,

if this happened he would never be able to extend is hand. She set us

up an appointment with a burn specialist the next day.

Trent and I took Raider to Doc. Jones, the specialist.

Right when he unwrapped it he said "oh, he will be fine".

Doc. Jones said it was a second degree burn. He re wrapped it,

told us to come back in a week so he can cut the blisters off,

clean and wrap it again. Raiders poor hand will be in a wrap

for a few weeks plus his hand will be pink and sensitive for a

couple months!!! So far Raider has been a champ. He gets frustrated

cause he has to army crawl, and he can only use one hand to pull

himself up on things and to play with toys.

Its hard on me cause I have to make

sure he is not sucking or picking at his wrapped

hand. I also cant let his hand get wet.

Nice day....

Today has been great fall weather so what better

thing to do then go to the cemetery? I was 32

weeks pregnant with Aspen when Tyler passed away,

yet, Aspen still knows Tyler through pictures she has

seen and stories she has heard.

I want both my children to know their uncle Tyler.

I have no doubt that Tyler and Raider were together

in heaven but this was Raiders first encounter

of Tyler on earth. I hope to keep Tyler's memory

alive forever.......

8 Months Old.................

Seven Years Ago Today........

Seven years ago today my older brother Tyler

Stillwell Gray passed away. Words can not

describe how I feel. I love and miss him so much,

yet I would not wish him back unless he had

a different life style. I always wonder who

he would be today. Tyler, I love you......
