Rainbows...

Hello lovely friends...so the last year has been an up hill battle, but we have survived, even thrived a bit.  We miss our sweet girl daily.  She is a part of our everyday conversation.  Kye even asks to go and see her.  And whenever he asks we go...its interesting trying to explain to a 3 year old the concept of where she is buried verses where she really is...Heaven! He does ask to go to heaven sometimes.  Wish we could sweet boy, wish we could.

On another note, our sweet family has been blessed with another life on the way!! 

Coming 12/1/16 is our rainbow baby. At first, Josh and I were not sure about the name "rainbow" baby...implying that our Aubrey was a terrible storm.  She was not a storm...her story may have been.  But SHE was a light in the darkness, a beautiful life.  Her story has provided hope, faith and grace to people across the nation, the world. And as much as I miss her everyday, I wouldn't change her story. Her witness. 

But then we remembered WHY God sent the rainbow: 
“13I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember  the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
Genesis 9:13-16

This does not mean we won't have trials, but that God promises he is with us through all of them, that there is hope everlasting after a trial.  That he will walk with us.  So...our rainbow baby ☺️

Oh...and it's a Boy!
XOXO!
