Please pray for the family of baby Kyle who went on the be with the Lord on Saturday, July 11th. My thoughts and prayers go out to these to families as they deal with the passing of their son, grandson and nephew.
The news of what this family had to deal with was all to close to home for me. Friday was the two year anniversary of the day we had to decide the same thing for our son, Lanny. The privacy, holding our son for the first and last time, and the removal of all the tubes, IVs, probes, etc., all to say goodbye and we will meet again soon.
As difficult as the decision was for us, my heart goes out to this family. It is not easy hearing that your son has no chance of life. Many families have to face difficult decisions everyday, but this is one no one should have to make.
Please keep this family in your prayers as they deal and cope with the loss of their son, Kyle.

Go Kyle Go
Please pray for Kyle and his family as he continues to recover. He has been in the hospital since he was born and has two heart surgeries since them. You can read his story here.
Recall This
Don't you ever wish you could call up a company and tell them "I recall you!". Well I wanted to say a little more but the company, Simplicity, has actually stopped doing day to day operations and answering their phones.
On Friday morning, prior to assembling the boys birthday gift (a whole other post), I turn on the computer and there it is.....all Simplicity cribs have been recalled by the http://www.cpsc.gov/. I knew it was coming. All of their other cribs have been recalled so why should ours be any different. As parents you fear everytime you pull up this website and check it monthly to see what purchases you have made are now endangering your child. You feel mad, scared and want to scream at the company - how in the world could you produce such a product!
Well. Now to make the decision - what to do? My children are no where near transitioning to a toddler bed so, we are buying new cribs - actually already purchased and waiting for them to arrive. You can't just run the the store and buy a new one, most stores have limited stock and most of them are drop side cribs. Well, I'm not buying another one of those due to the fact it was the reason ours were recalled in the first place. So we wait..... There are no alternate sleeping arrangements with twins until these arrive so we pray that the new ones come quickly. So now what about the old ones?????
Purchased at Target! I pulled up the website, called customer relations and since this is a recalled item, I can return it, no receipt required. We will see about that but that is what the lady said. I got her name if I have any problems. Will let you know how it goes for those of you who may face this similar dilemma- lets hope it does not get ugly.
