Forever in our Hearts

Colten Robert Graves
May 9, 2009 -6lbs 5oz -19.5 inches

I'm sure most of you know this already but our precious angel Colten went home to be with our Lord on May 9, 2009. I still wanted to share a couple of pictures with you, he was beautiful. The pictures were taken by Now I lay me down to sleep . What a wonderful organization for anyone in our situation. We will cherish these pictures always. We miss our Colten dearly and he will be forever in our hearts.

We want to thank our family and friends for praying and thinking of us through this difficult time. We cannot put into words how grateful we are. We have received numerous cards, calls, emails, and meals. All of which we truly appreciate. We pray that God will give us strength and peace as we grieve and begin to move on without Colten.

Papa and Ga-Ga "Bwapes"

We had a nice visit with Papa and Ga-Ga "Bwapes" this week. Chase pronounces our last name "Bwapes" and I love it!!! It's so cute. Papa is on vacation in a couple of weeks and wants Chase to come over and ride the tractor. Chase can't stop talking about it!

Playing at the sink

Chase has been enjoying playing at the sink lately. Chad and I aren't excited about our water bill this month but it keeps him occupied for long periods of time. Especially while we make dinner or get ready in the bathroom. He is usually soaked by the time he's done.

He likes to give his "friends" gumby and pokey a bath in the bowl

34 weeks

Wow is our baby boy growing! We've made it to 34 weeks! Actually I'm almost 35 now and seem to always be a week behind in these posts. I went to the doctor yesterday and everything is still looking good and right on track. My doctor is planning on inducing me between 38-39 weeks so we don't have much longer. He wants me to be off my injections(yep still giving them!) for 4-5 days prior to delivery so I'll need to be induced. Chase came at 38 weeks on his own so we'll see what happens this time. I start going every week to the doctor now. I just really liked this shirt so had Chad take 2 pictures this week(he was really impressed) :) Thanks for letting me borrow your clothes Shelley!

Chase wanted to be in a picture this week but wouldn't smile once I picked him up. Boy is his world going to change soon!
