Our Hello was also Goodbye
We just wanted to share some of our recent news with you. It has been a while since we have updated but there is a very good reason for that. As some of you may know, we were expecting our third child in September. We were very excited to find out the gender of our little one and were getting ready to schedule the ultrasound appointment. Jamie went to the doctor at 20 weeks and was a little apprehensive as she was not feeling as much movement as she had in the past. A mother's intuition is usually right and unfortunately that held true. For some reason, most likely a cord accident, our little one had passed away. After the initial shock and awe we then had to answer that inevitable question of what now. After much prayer we decided it best to deliver our young child, having the opportunity to hold her precious body and start some of the grieving process. Rachel Lynn Kidman was delivered April 26 2007 at 11:51 pm, weighing 8 oz. and 8 1/4 inches long. It has been a very hard process but we are on the mend. There are times when we both start to weep for no reason but we are doing good. Thank goodness we understand the plan of salvation and that this is not the end of the road. There is a life after this earth, a place of beauty and restoration. Might we all live worthy of it and may God bless each of you.
LOOK WHO'S 5
I can't believe I have a 5 year old. We have been anticipating this birthday for quite awhile now. Brooke didn't think it would ever come!
This, among a few other things, is from Grandma and Grandpa Kidman. They were able to come over a few days before the big day and so Brooke celebrated a little early with them.
Birthday party fun. We had the party on Saturday the 19th. Her friend here is Brooklyn.
Syd was in the crowd and loving it. Here are the friends, Tara, Brynne, Marren, Nathan, Logann, and Braxton!
Pinata with lots of candy. I'm glad there is a dentist in the family!! Ryan was brave holding it on the broom handle, with only a few close calls.
The birthday cupcakes! I can do so many things now that I am 5!!! (her words)
