WARNING! This may be the longest blog you have ever come across! So much has gone on since my last post and I have the hardest time leaving some pictures out. So, sit back and enjoy the show.
Our dear friends, the Robisons, came to visit us from Michigan. We went to the Philadelphia Zoo on one of the days and had a wonderful time.
~Melinda, Mickayla, and Daniel~
~Rowen loved the turtles!~

~This Rhino was getting a bath while we were there.~
~Rowen wanted to give love the whole day, which we of course we ate up like crazy!~
~Rowen loves her daddy (and REALLY loves Daddy's head :) )
~Rowen has decided that she wants to be a big girl and sit at the dining room table instead of her highchair.~
For Mother's Day and our 7th year anniversary, Jason surprised me with a getaway to Lancaster where they have an amazing theatre called Sight and Sound and stayed at a beautiful bed and breakfast. Lancaster is also a very Amish area and we got caught behind one on their way to run their errands.

~My Aunt Gretchen (Rowen's GI GI) sent Rowen a beautiful, new outfit and I couldn't resist taking pictures of Rowen in it!~
For Father's day, the "Argo men" went on a hiking trip on the Appalachian Trail.

Jason went away to Creation Festival for a week, so Rowen and I went to my parent's house and got pampered!
~Ny Ny and Rowen at my cousin Jen's pool. She also has horses and a donkey and Rowen was so excited to see them!~
~Rowen is our little fish; she LOVES the water!~
~Rowen and Poppa picking weeds~
~Rowen had SO much fun playing in the swing/playhouse at my parent's.~
~Rowen also liked rolling in the grass!~
~My parent's dog Joey, relaxing after a hard day of running through the fields and pouncing in the woods.~
~Rowen's favorite part of our trip was definately playing outside with her Poppa and especially taking rides on the tractor.~
As you can see, we have been very busy and very blessed. There is no new news to report on our Kyle Joseph. He is kicking like a champ everyday. My amniotic fluid is lower than it should be and the doctors said that it was nomal for a baby in our condition. We are getting through each day by the grace of God. I am not going to say that we are doing great, but we are taking it day by day and God is giving us the strength to do it. Our sweet Rowen is a light in our lives that gives us a reason to get up in the morning, laugh in the day, and to feel so abundantly blessed at night. We praise God everday for her and for eachother.

Nicole and Jason, you look so adorable together in the Lancaster pics(sorry Jason, no other way to say it!) I can't believe how super curly Rowen's hair keeps getting. So sweet. We pray and think of you guys every day. Take each day only as it arrives, right? All our love, and hugs across the miles.

I am sorry for the sadness that you are experiencing. I've never experienced having had any warning to prepare myself. My husband and I were both carriers for MGS and we were privileged to have four healthy children in addition to the sweet babies that we lost. (Twin daughters-1976 and another daughter-1978. We had two healthy boys following to join their older sisters.)
I'd like to share a poem that I wrote to place on my little ones' headstone.
"The memory of carrying you beneath my heart will always be prescious to me.
For carrying you in my arms was not Father's plan, it was never intended to be.
It didn't seem right, how could it be fair that He took not just two.. but all three.
How could I know then what I now understand?
He sent you... to help carry ME!"
-Marlene Fredricks
May our Heavenly Father bless and sustain you and your family)
