Came over on a link from Beck’s blog…

My sister also miscarried over Advent this year, her fourth time, and each time but one was over Advent. Incredibly strange…

Now she is waiting for a message from her Adoption Agency that they have a daughter for her to come and get… but we all still continue to hope.

Beautiful post. Thanks for sharing.

Seriously, the cuteness is killing me. Killing me!

Ah, you and December are indeed well suited to each other’s company this year, aren’t you?

In your case winter is just the right time for fresh starts, what with it being so chilly out, and with power outages and all, and with it being most heat-efficient to pile mommy and daddy bodies together under mountains of fluff and quilts… Ahem. :)

Oh, and bring your crazies here. Let it out to rattle around with us, like bringing O to the playground when he’s bouncing off the walls and you want him to sleep better that night. Same thing, don’t you think?

The pictures are lovely. My thoughts are with you this month as you will time to speed up.

oh, if only our kitties would get that close to our pnut- she loves them so much from afar, but freaks them out- even when i let her bribe them with treats. her exuberance is too much for their old cat sensibilities.

praying that the light that comes at the end of advent fills you with peace and hope now, and through these four weeks as we walk with you through the darkness. take care, bon.

Bon, I love that you are still hopeful and eager. It’s inspiring and it’s a noble state of mind to be in after all you’ve been through.
The eternity you speak of will eventually pass, as time always inevitably does, just don’t get so caught up in the future that you forget to live your “present” life – one that’s full of the blessings you so eloquently describe to us in your thought-provoking posts and heart-warming photos.

Here’s to a speedy Winter!

I’m glad you have this space to work out your thoughts. I can’t imagine how difficult this has been for you but I do know how important it is to have an outlet for all those feelings.

And that picture? Truly gorgeous.
