A little update for 2013
It’s been awhile!
Just thought we would pop in with a little update on our family.
Aria’s little sister turned one on the last day of January.  It has been a year since Sylvie arrived three months early into the world.  A year on everyone is amazed at how well she is doing.  We had the privilege of a routine appointment with her child development therapist.  She commented on the fact she doesn’t often get to see babies born that early doing this well.  Did our hearts good to hear that.  I just felt God say to me ‘look evil tried to break it (again!) and I fixed it”
Aria’s little brother has graduated from preschool and is now at school. Â He is doing really well and loving school. Â It has been a tough transition for our family. Â Asher speaks about Aria daily which is nice. Â The school had a family fun day and he commented on the fact Aria wouldn’t be there and said ‘poor Aria’. Â It was nice to reassure him that it is no longer poor Aria rather poor us for missing her.
Thank you for checking in.

It is defintely great to get the family news. Asher looks like such a handsome boy and little Sylvie is so precious. Hard to believe she is now 1. We will never forget sweet Aria but the Lord is certainly happy with her in heaven.
His way may not be our way but he is always faithful to his word.May your sweet and loving family know how deeply you touched so many of our lives.Mine especially. May God bless and keep you in his care.

Anita and Hamish,
It is a blessing seeing you two looking so relaxed and well. What a precious family photo. It’s lovely how Asher carries his big sister in his heart, testament to the bond they had even though he was such a young little fellow. Aria would be so proud of her little brother graduating, and her adorable little sister. Much love and heaps of blessings to you all <3
P.s. Thanks for the post I think of you often and wonder how you all are.
