Long time no blog!!

WOW, it has been a long time since I have blogged!!  We have a lot going on, first and foremost we are approaching the 1 year birthday and loss of Ryann.  It has been very emotional as we approach December.  As if the Holiday's are not enough, we have to celebrate a life that is no longer with us here on earth and very much missed!!

Over the last three months, we have been planning for the golf outing in her memory which is coming along nicely.  If you would like to donate items or volunteer your time in May, please check out our website at http://ryannhopefoundation.com/.  I finally got all of the stuff delivered from the baby shower and both SLCH and Provena were very grateful for all that we collected for them, thanks to everyone especially Amy and Cam for helping to host and to Lacey Apple and her family for all of the wonderful things they donated!!

Last month, we took a family vacation to FL and took Reggan to Disney World for the first time, she loved it (mom not so much), she rode almost all of the rides and just kept going like the energizer bunny, she even gave me foot massages at the end of the day....GOD, I LOVE HER!!!

After returning back from the trip we have just been relaxing amd enjoying the cold weather (NOT).  David had surgery on one of his hands last week for his carpal tunnel, it went pretty well and he will be doing his other hand in the begining of Jan.  We will be glad to have all of that fixed, so he is no longer in pain after doing big jobs with his hands.

Other than that, we are attending, Christmas concerts, parties, enjoying reading Christmas cards, and awaiting the arrival of our new neice or nephew in the coming weeks.

Last but not least, we are expecting again April....TWINS!!  We had our level II sono last week and found out they look as healthy as can be and it is a boy and girl!!  We have never been so excited to see diaphragms and organs all in the right place before, it was a GREAT day.  Although we have experienced one of the biggest losses, we also feel blessed for what we do have and know that Ryann had a hand in sending two more blessing our way.  I can not believe I am going to say that we have 4 children, never thought I would see that day and be this excited about it.  We will keep everyone posted on the upcoming birth of the twins through this blog.

Hope everyone has a great Holiday!!

Love, the Smiths...Jaime, David, Reggan, ^Ryann^, and Baby A and B.
