One for the Soul

The weekend after our initial loss and the surgery, we decided to pay a visit to our old church in Watford 1.5 hours away. We love this church and felt like we might find some peace and healing if we went. Because we were going that far, we decided to stay a few nights and do some neat things with Bella. For starters, we got a hotel with an indoor pool and then we took her to an indoor play place. Of course, I couldn't do much, but getting "away" was a blessing to our soul.

Bella has been in swimming lessons for about 1 month. So, it was so neat to see how far she has come! She has no fear.



I brought some new crafts and we created some creatures from the fadoodles.

Ready to go praise the Lord. Bella was really excited about visiting a church that mommy and daddy used to go to before she was born.

New play place! We've been to about a dozen different play places in about a 80 mile radius of our house. They all have mainly the same items, but she NEVER gets sick of them! Bella climbed up to the top of this with no hesitation.


Had to ride on the carousel a few times, of course! First, in the pumpkin carriage and then.....

....on the dinosaur.

Bumper cars, yeah!


And of course, a big slide!


Thank you Lord for this weekend.
