Writing Memories Worth Reading on KSL

A few months ago, my sister wrote a very heartfelt story about our sweet Baby Jack.

Today, her friend, Katie, featured this story on KSL as series on their show titled "Writing Memories Worth Reading."

It's amazing to look back on our journey, thus far, see where we are today, and how much we have grown in faith and love. How is it possible to experience so much heart ache and, in turn, watch that heart ache turn into unimaginable feelings of love and happiness! We are so thankful for this little boy and how he has forever changed our lives and for all the people who have been there for us, lifted us up, blessed us, given us hope, and shown us so much love! We are truly blessed!

Thank you, Katie, for sharing our story!

Jack's Favorite Toy

You would think with all that Jack has been through, he would be one unhappy, fussy baby. He is just the opposite. Jack is all smiles, he hardly ever is unhappy. He is not fussy, and is just a pleasure to have around. His smile lights up a room and your heart.

So last Sunday when Jack just broke out into a very sad loud cry at Church, I looked over at Kimberly who was holding him with a look of what did you do to him! She just looked back at me with a puzzled look. She had no idea why he was crying so passionately. Taylor picked up a toy Jack had dropped on the ground. She put the toy back in Jack's hand, and the crying stopped. Kimberly and I looked at each other and smiled. Then a few minutes later the toy dropped and Jack let out his passionate cry again.

Kimberly and I just looked at each other and laughed. He was crying because his toy fell out of his hands. It was just really cute. We put the toy back in his hand, and he just was as happy as can be. This happened a couple more times, and it was just so much fun to watch. Jack has a favorite toy! Taylor's first love of a toy were these little Care bear Miniatures, and a Christmas light bulb dressed up as Rudolph the Reindeer. Taylor took that light bulb everywhere we went. Rudolph meet a very sad ending to his life at a Target shopping center in June, 2003... when he hit the hard tile floor head on. I am sure the Target employee that had to pick up the mess, was wondering how a Christmas light came to break in the middle of the store in June.

So our kids have been passionate about their first toys before. Jacks devotion has fell upon a little toy we call bunny(seen above). It's funny to say your son playing with a silly toy makes you happy. To see Jack with this toy, would bring a smile to anyones face.
