Double Blessings

As I mentioned before, this was the weekend for the babies' blessings. Everyone was so kind to take the time to make the trip here to be with us. We really missed Maria, but she is just about to deliver a little blessing of her own.

Wouldn't you know though, sometimes with blessings come trials. At 3:30 Saturday morning Frank was having symptoms of a heart problems. Travis rushed to Frank to give him a blessing and I dialed 911. It seemed like an eternity before the ambulance arrived. They did finally get here however, and took him to the hospital in Caldwell. Poor Annie was awakened by the commotion and saw the paramedics take Papa away. No one really knew what to do, we really thought we ought to wait until later in the day to bless the babies, having faith that Papa would be there. However, Papa and Grandma urged us to go ahead as planned and really not wanting to add any stress or anxiety to their circumstance, we went ahead. No one can describe the ache we felt without them there. So, Grandma and Papa these pictures are for you:

Miss Megan is becoming a little more feisty each day.

See Travis' face? You get only guess where he decided to put his hand!! Ugh.

Seeing these two together all dressed in white makes me think about how truly special their circumstance is. I can't help but stare at them and think about their lives in an eternal perspective. There will never be a time eternally before, here and now, or eternally after this life when they will not have known or been without one another. What a blessing to our family.

Now for an update on Frank...All test results came back with good results. He will follow up with his doctor to try to determine what happened and if it can be avoided in the future. We are so thankful and grateful that this incident wasn't more serious. It was so nice to see them come back through the door last night!
