Learning bad news too late

I found out yesterday that a good friend of mine passed away. She has been sick for a long time and has been fighting for her life for a while. I knew she was sick but didnt know she had passed until 10 days after. I missed her funeral and everything. She was cremated so I dont have a grave to go see or anything. I am pretty upset at myself for not being more active. I hope Sharra knows that I love her and I am so grateful that I got to be her neighbor and I got to serve her and know her. She was so caring and loving towards everyone she knew. She was not a member of the church but we had a lot of talks about the gospel and she was very open to it. She said she has read The Book of Mormon. I am hoping she is accepting it in heaven right now. I hope that she knows how much the Lord loves her. She was a wonderful person and I am so grateful I got to call her friend.

Big boy!

Zachary had his 6 month check up a while back! He is so big! He is 28 3/4 inches long (98%) and weighs 18lbs 13oz (73%)! The dr says he is perfect and healthy! He is so close to crawling! I am actually surprised he isnt yet! He has started to eat baby food too! He will however only eat the store bought. I tried to make it myself but he wont eat it! Silly monkey boy! I am so grateful that he is so healthy! I am so grateful for him! I am glad that I finally got what I needed. The Lord knew I needed to grow a bit more before I got such a great spirit! Although the road was the hardest I have ever had to journey, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat if it meant I got to have Zachary! I love him so much!

6 months!

Zachary is now 6 months old! I cant believe it! He can sit on his own and almost crawl! He rolls around right now but he is movin! He is such a great baby to have. I think back before our family had Zachary come into it. It seems like even though he wasnt born he was still with us. I cant imagine not having him here! He is eating cereal now too! He LOVES it! I have also started him on green beans! Loves those too! We are still working on sleeping in the crib. I think I just need to be more strict about it and practice tough love! But he is such a great little guy! I still cant believe he is half way to his first birthday! CRAZY!!!!! I love you Zachy and I am so lucky you picked me to be your mommy! Zachary 10/6/2012
