This week has been a very sad and tragic week for our family. Heather and I have another sister as we've said before, we're a trio. Amy is the oldest child in our family of 7. Tragically her husband passed away this past Tuesday. They have 10 amazing children together, ranging in ages 4-21. I was 7 years old when Amy and Greg got married, they made me an aunt at 8. Their family has been a huge part of my life as long as I can remember. Below is the most recent photo I could find. It's missing their youngest son, Talon.
We are both absolutely overwhelmed right now. Heather is in Utah (where most of the family is) caring for children, helping make plans for the funeral, future, everything. And I am stuck in Arizona at 38 1/2 weeks pregnant feeling totally helpless.
If you ever had the opportunity to get to know any of their kids your life would be greatly enriched...they are amazing, happy, smart kids and I think the world of each of them.
We are reaching out today for a couple reasons. First we are going to be on hiatus for the next week or so, just too much going on to try to keep up on this right now.
Second we are reaching out to any of you who may be able to help these kids. Even a small amount helps. All funds will be used for the funeral and children. Here's how you could help.

I cannot help but think about the blessing about to come into your home and how this baby will give everyone a reminder of a wonderful plan. This baby will allow family members to smile and coo and be happy, even but for a few minutes. You will have a significant role in bringing joy back into your family members' eyes and hearts.
God bless you.

What an adorable family picture! I pray they all feel their Heavenly Father's love and care for them thru this hardship and trial. They look like a wonderful family who will pull together and help each other thru!
