Alot Has Changed

Wow, it has been a long time since I blogged last. Where do I begin? Our family has been busy over the last few months. Larry & I begain our fertility journey once again in August of 2009, in hopes to give Riley a sibbling. From the very beginning Larry and I knew we wanted a large family we just didn't know the obstacles it would take to get there. We did one round of IUI in mid August only to find out that it didn't work. We were devastated. By this time our appointment finally arrived to meet with our fertility doctor in Kansas City.

We left KC feeling positive that they could help us grow our family. As the months went on things in our life kept changing. In November my father, Wade Pearce, closed our family grocery store after running it for the last 25 years. It was one of the hardest thing our family has ever had to do. The store closed it's doors for the last time with family & friends gathered around to watch my dad turn off the "OPEN" sign for the last time. To some this sounds like no big deal, but to a community where this store had been established for the last 100 years it was a huge void in the hearts of many. Dad chose to close the store because of his declining health.

After, the closing of the store and Thanksgiving our family finally felt a little peace, but we knew there was still something missing. On December 11, 2009 we had our 2nd round of IUI and it successfully took and on Christmas Eve we found out we were expecting another baby. It was a true Christmas miracle for us!

January came bringging us lots of snow and cold weather. Feburary came and the ground hog saw his shadow. So, another 6 weeks of winter. NOW, it's finally March! I love Spring. The flowers all bloom, the sweet smell of morning dew and the sound of children playing outside. It's magical and so inspiring. I have recently decided to take a chance and try out (I guess you would say) for a local design team. Nikki Sivils, a scrapbook designer, is searching for locals to be on her newTownhouse Divas design team. I've never done anything like this but I think it would be a ton of fun! So, stay tuned...
