I first want to apologize to those of you who have been keeping up with this blog. I was remiss in adding a blog the last couple of weeks. It’s been so incredibly busy. In fact, it’s been absolutely insane!

But even as I write this blog entry from beautiful Salem, Oregon while on vacation with my wonderful husband, Kurt, I recognize that all the insaneness of life means nothing without the love of family, friends, children and our Heavenly Father.

Today, I am dedicating this space to my dear friend, Dr. Bryan Boudreaux and his wife, Dr. Kristin Johnston. Following a horrific accident, Kristin was forced to deliver her baby several months prematurely.

I know Jared and Kristin wouldn’t mind me sharing this with you. They were a mom and dad surprised by Elle’s creation and completely smitten with the idea of parenthood. I wish you could have heard the sound of Jareds voice when he shared the good news of Kristin’s pregnancy with me. He was a completely different person, and I knew then that this baby would have the best parents on the planet.

Indeed, she did. Elle was loved by so many people far beyond the four windows of her incubator in the NICU unit in Indianapolis. Her parents were devoted to her short life and made sure she knew how much she was loved by them. Her fragile life touched so many through Bryan’s blogs; the end result made us rush home to our loved ones and hug them just a bit tighter than we did that morning.

Its a sad situation as well, but helps us all to reflect on what is most important in our lives.
