clark family update

i figured it was time for a little update on our little family....and to share some photos of the twins. since we don't have a lack of those around here! :) 

henry @ 7 1/2 months | rolls all over, says "dadddaadadddaa" all day long, love eating, almost master of the sippy cup, will watch an entire episode of curious george, knows when it's nap time, loves baths, major mamas boy like stage 5 clinger and is major flirt. 

campbell @ 7 1/2 months | can sit up all by herself, we still sit by her in case she falls over, loves playing, is very ticklish, is a silly girl, loves food, hates her high chair, has discovered headbands and takes them off much to mama's dismay, love curious george as well, loves her crib, thinks bath time is the best and is already such a ham. we can tell she will be the silly one. 

daniel @ 317 months and 12 days {hahaha} | working full time at les olson company, loves his job as a technician and is very good at it, has mastered holding two babies at once, is a pro at getting up in the middle of the night to stick binkies in {gets up more than me}, loves being a daddy, is a huge help around the house at nights and weekends, lego obsessed. tells me he is buying them for the kids when they are bigger but, i think he just wants to play with them until they can, loves making us all laugh.  

me @ 309 months 9 days  {hahaha} | stay at home mama, changes many diapers, trying to quit diet coke, lover of nap times, full time entertainer of two babies, watches countless curious george episodes, and i laugh out loud at them, already planning henry and campbell's 1st birthday, looking forward to the holidays with the twins, 

our family | we are currently enjoying the cooler weather. walks and parks are a favorite so far. sleeping much better these days now the twins sleep in their own room! we just love our little family and are so excited for the memories to come with all the holidays coming!

dealing with loss

on monday we found out dan's aunt passed away from her battle with stage 4 melanoma. i didn't know her very well, but did know she was/is loved. since, i didn't know her very well i have been struggling with what i am suppose to feel. 

i have been thinking about loosing loved ones and how to cope with it. i have been fortunate to only have lost my grandma was i was younger. i don't really remember it. i didn't even go to funeral because my sister and i were to young. so, since hearing this news of dan's aunts passing i have been trying to find the way i can grief. 

everyone handles these things in their own way. though i didn't know her very well, i still feel sad she it was her time to leave this earthly world. i feel sad for her husband, her children and grandchildren. 

even though i feel sad, i am comforted to know she is no longer in pain and is with our heavenly father again. i truly believe families are forever, i know we can be with our loved ones again someday. since hearing this news i have been pondering how grateful i am for my family and my heavenly father. 

today is the funeral. this will be my very first funeral. i dont know what to expect. i do know, all i can do is be there for our family. 

this whole experience has been a testimony builder. i know the gospel is true, i know we can be with our heavenly father again someday. i know, he loves us and wants us to return to him when the time is right. i know families are forever. i love the church and my family.
