Been a while?

Life has a way of running you ragged if you let it. I know that for me its been WOW, is about what sums it up.

Yesterday we Celebrated Lynli's 5th Angel Day - Birthday. It was a great day, one with the sun shining and it was HOT, just like the day she was born on and buried on too. I made cupcakes on Thursday night, the night before we left to go camping. and Saved them for Shayli and I to frost and decorate up at Her grave site.

Shayli loved it, she thought it was sooo cool to have PINK frosting, and with SPRINKLES even better. I think she ate half the sprinkles but then what are the for anyway but to eat. She was so funny. We took candles and lit one for her and sang her Happy Birthday. And for the first time in years I didn't cry or shed tears, I was happy remembering my Princess Lynli and all the wonderful things she has taught me and keeps teaching me through her life.

After we sang Lynli Happy Birthday we had to sing Jakob and Jeneh and then Shayli Happy Birthday and blow out the candle. We let Shayli blow out all the candles we knew that her Big Brother and Sisters where enjoying the ramblings of their 3 yr old sister and all her craziness that makes her up. I see so much of Jakob, Jeneh and Lynli in Shayli. She is all of them rapped in one little Ball of Fire. At times Justin and I wonder where she came from we are so blessed to have her.

On Friday as I was getting ready to leave I received the most amazing email with Pictures. I'll share them with you know:

I came across this site (http://www.aloharemembered.blogspot.com/) from Share and being a part of them. I emailed Emily the Angel Mom that runs this site and asked if I could have my Angels names done in the sand. I at first only did Jakob, Jeneh and Lynil's but she contacted me and told me she would love to do the rest of my Angels and if we had named them what where their names. I had only named the little Boy we lost at 14 wks in between Jakob, Jeneh and Lynli. So I also asked for his name done too. When people found out we lost 4 children with in 50 weeks, I enjoy watching their eye's roll into the back of their heads as the comprehend all that we have been through.

What a wonderful gift to be given at the beginning of a rough month of Angel days. I'm so grateful for my Angel days and getting to spend them with family.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYNLI.
I love you!
