More Fall Decorating

We did a little bit more fall decorating, but not exactly the same as before. We decorated Clayton's grave. It really helps to have a reason for going besidse to just remember what happened and get sad. For those who don't know, Clayton is in a place that Jess lovingly calls baby-land. It's a special section of the memorial park that is set aside for children 12 and under. Many people there decorate the graves of their loved ones. Clayton now fits in with all his new friends, that's how we like to think of it sometimes. We haven't gotten pic's of it yet, but they will come soon.

Fall Decorating





We decorated for fall this week. It was really kind of bitter sweet, as most things are right now for us. In the long run, it really helped us. Our apartment is now all decked for fall/halloween. In a strange way we are finally feeling grown up. Sounds strange from a couple thats in their mid-20's huh. When we were decorating, we realized that a corner of our dining room was really bare. So, we went and got a peice of funiture to fill it that really serves no purpose but to look good. It's the first such peice that we've ever gotten...kinda weird. But thats life :)

Clayton Andrew


We are by far going through the toughest time of our life right now. Our beautiful son was born still on Sept. 30, 2008. Jess was a great mom and gave birth to her son when she knew she wouldn't have the joy of hearing him cry. Scott did everything he could to help, including almost having his hand broken by his loving wife. We got to be with him and have our family hold him before we had to say good-bye to him. He was laid to rest on Oct. 7 with all the love in the world around him. He may be gone, but he will be with us forever. We want to thank everyone for their thoughts and love during this trying time in our lives. He is our sunshine and will always make us happy when skies are gray. WE LOVE YOU CLAYTON!!
