My favorite gift!

Isn't this great!!!  It is so cute.  We have some really good friends who got us this for our Lincoln "welcome" gift.  It is great.  I love seeing our names on it.  It is such a personal gift.  The Bolingers (the great people the gift came from) have been friends with us for four years now.  We met not long after we lost the twins.  We were attending a support group for the first time (where we also met some other amazing strong people but I will talk about that later) and we were standing in the hallway and across from us was another couple who happened to be Kim & Jason.  They looked as broken as we felt.  Their daughter Ryleigh passed away the day after Winton did.  Standing there looking at each other we knew we would be bonded for life ironically by death.  Kim & Jason have been amazing friends.  We have been through so much with them.  We even went on a "let off some steam" trip to Mexico.  Where I actually found out I was pregnant with Jaidyn.  Not long after that Kim became pregnant with Caden.  Isn't that cute Jaidyn & Caden!  You know we have already planned their wedding.
Kim then became pregnant with Carson and not much later I was pregnant with Lincoln- whom we really almost named something that ended in -son just for sake of keeping the tradition!
Now as we pass the 4th anniversary of loosing the twins I want to acknowledge something good that came from this.  A friendship that can never be replaced!  We love you guys!
