Jake's Aunt Cheri is an amazing photographer and anytime I need anything photo-related, I can count on her to make me something I'll love. She did our Christmas cards this year and it seems fortuitous that she used "Peace & Love" as the greeting. I had another miscarriage a few weeks ago, my 4th in a row, and it has been hard, very hard get over. We have had such an outpouring of love that it has brought me peace that I didn't think I would find so quickly. I'm still grieving, but I'm doing so with the love and support of so many, and with the peace that they and the Savior have given me. The other night I was struggling and turned to my scriptures. I opened them at random to John and read chapter 14. Verses 18-27 says, "I will not leave you comfortless...Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." These words make me happy and I know they are true. So Peace and Love to your families from ours this Christmas season!December 22, 2010

I love your blog and have been following for a while. So sorry about the miscarriage. It's ssooo hard. I had one and I can't imagine how going through that many is. Will keep you in our prayers. Your picture is beautiful!!
We really enjoyed seeing your Christmas card in the mail. Such a beautiful picture of you guys! I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I can't imagine how hard that must be. We sure miss you and your sweet kids!
Your card is so cute! I'm so sorry to hear that you had another miscarriage. Thanks for sharing the peace and love.
Rachel, that's really sad about the miscarriages. I'm sorry. My sister Lindsey lives in San Diego and has had her own share of fertility (5 years) issues. She found a great fertility specialist that she loves and would recommend to anyone. Email her if you want; she's been there, done that and would love to help/support/get you in touch with a great doc. lindsey at ellisfoundation dot com. Good luck.
