Christmas Eve Captured

December 25, 2011

tree — Yesterday we woke up in Carlsbad to snow. A lot. We visited the Caverns - but that's a different post.

pinecone — We drove the 3 hours home to find my 50mm had arrived so I snapped away. I was going to wait till Christmas Eve to open it but it just didn't happen.

unwrapping — After Elf and hot cocoa we had Bella open one present.

She really loved tearing it all apart and handing me each piece.

And a happy, clean, fresh baby all set for bed. Then she promptly threw a tantrum because she thought she got to open all the presents.

Merry Christmas to all of you. Thanks for sticking around over here this year. It means the world to me.

A funny Things that make me smile

{About Me}

I'm Diana, and my blog is about loss, grief, motherhood, trauma, faith, moments of incredible wonder, candid thoughts, and a little snark. You can find more details on our story here.
Sam and I have been married since I was 19. He was 20. He's an OIF, medically retired veteran of the Army and Marines. We have 5 children - Bella was born in 2009 after a rather bumpy pregnancy and her first year was mostly crazy reflux. Preston and Julian, my identical twins, were born at 20 weeks in 2012 and lived only a few hours. Kaden was born full term in 2013 seemingly perfect, and at 4 days old he was found to have cardiomyopathy due to ciHHV-6. He passed away at 3 weeks old. Charlotte was born in 2015, and was a complete surprise to us. Each of them have changed our lives completely.
Currently I'm in school to become a counselor who focuses on trauma and grief.
I love Jesus - even though sometimes I get really angry and upset at the way our life has gone. I hope through my faults, insecurities, snarkiness, selfish nature, and general mess - my love for Christ and His work in my life shines through in my story.
