Our Family: Karbon's Official Due Date....

"Throughout our lives, we must deal with change. Some changes are welcome; some are not. There are changes in our lives which are sudden, such as the unexpected passing of a loved one, an unforeseen illness, the loss of a possession we treasure. But most of the changes take place subtly and slowly. Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. The lives of all of us, of course, go through similar alterations and changes. The difference between the changes in my life and the changes in yours is only in the details. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching come the changes. This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now. Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows. " Thomas S. Monson

Karbon's Official Due Date....

5.15.15 Today is your official due date...BUT your 2 days away from being a month old!!
Your surprised us with you coming a month early and I am so glad you did...I have gotten to snuggle your teeny tiny little body for an extra month!
I have LOVED every single second with you...yes even the 2 and 3 am wake up calls...I wouldnt trade them for anything!
You are such a good little boy...you hardly ever cry, you wake up only ever 4 to 6 hours at night which is not usual for a premie baby.
You are so loved and snuggled to death by your 3 older brothers. Kiptin has to hold you first thing each morning and khailo says "hold it" for me to help him hold you!
Kaylin comes home each day after school and says hi to you and gives you lots of kisses...also first thing in the morning and he has to make sure to tell you good night and that
he loves you and give more kisses and hugs. You truly have the BEST big brothers that any little boy could have..remember that always, and stay close to them!
I love you more then anything this world could ever offer me. I wouldnt trade you for anything. Thank you for choosing this crazy family to be yours here on earth!

Happy Due Date my sweet boy!

(a very stupid mom moment for sure...its sad when your 4yr old is smarter then you)

“One’s life….cannot be both faith-filled and stress-free….Therefore, how can you and I really expect to guide naively through life, as if to say, ‘Lord, give me experience, but not grief, not sorrow, not pain, not opposition, not betrayal, and certainly not to be forsaken. Keep from me, Lord, all those experiences which made Thee what Thou art! Then let me come and dwell with Thee and fully share Thy joy!’ Real faith….is required to endure this necessary but painful developmental process.” Neal A. Maxwell
