Week 121

My three angels

Ryan loves having Jack around, except maybe when he is crying.  We explained to him that all babies cry, especially when they are uncomfortable and getting their diaper changed.  When Jack cries, Ryan often covers his ears, or leaves the room.  

About five minutes after Ryan went to bed the other night, he came back downstairs holding a book.  He was anxious to show us a picture in it and said to us, "Look, this baby doesn't cry when he gets his diaper changed."  : )  And indeed, the baby in the picture is smiling!

Jack enjoyed his second bath.  Ryan was happy Jack didn't cry this time!

Jack- three weeks old

 On Friday, Ryan came up to me and gave me a hug.  He was crying.  When I asked him why he said that he was sad because he missed Helen and that she didn't get to meet Jack.  It's been raining the past two days but this week we'll go out to Helen's grave site with Jack to say hello.  I hope this will make him feel a little bit better about it.

Saturday the 11th was my dad's birthday, but it also marked the two year anniversary of Ty Campbell's cancer diagnosis.  We've been following Ty's story for almost the entire two years now and it is heartbreaking, yet inspiring at the same time as you watch this little boy fight the fight.  It makes me feel grateful for all we have and when I hear my children claim, "This is the worst day ever!" when they don't get their way, I tell them how lucky they are and how much worse their day could really be. I know they don't understand now, but one day they will. Here is a link to the video posted for Ty's 2 years of fighting cancer.  I will show this to Ryan and Julia and we will say a prayer for Ty.  Please do the same.
