I am tired. This little stinker in his fancy bath robe kept me up a lot last night. After I started rice cereal he got constipated so last night I gave him the oatmeal cereal and mixed a little prunes in with it. He kept waking up in the night. I don't know if it was that or if he just feels like I feel. I have had a cold and sore throat all week. No rest for mommy's!
Case watches everything Lane does! Yikes!
Case in his new high chair! I got it yesterday. Well the oatmeal and prunes seemed to work. He just woke up from a very short 1/2 hr nap (that's Case's style) and let if fly while sitting on my lap. Too much info?? Now moving on to food :)I am going to try to do the menu for the week on the sidebar again. When I was pregnant I kind of stopped that because not a whole lot sounded good to me. But anyway here it is again. Until I only have me and a 5 year old to cook for. Then it just isn't that interesting...grilled cheese, tacos, homemade pizza, repeat....

awwww he is sooo cute! That bathrobe is adorable on him! How funny.
Sorry I was going on and on about math night and sunny with a chance of meatballs... I might be losing it. Lack of sleep stinks. I hope you have a great weekend! looking forward to your menu!
Sounds like Mommy needs a break! Case is too cute hope he sleeps more tonight!
Glad to see the menu back up so maybe I can take some of your menu ideas and mix them up around here. Hard to cook for one adult and one 18month old! Seems like we eat the same old same old around here.
Case is just to adorable in that bath robe!! He is growing up way to fast. Hope you can catch some cat naps here and there after those long nights.
Super cute pictures! Also, I've tried that Warm Spinach Salad recipe from Paula Dean before. It's very yummy! I'll send you the recipe and instructions for name pancakes. The recipe is a little different than normal pancakes because the batter should be a little thicker than normal so that the letters will actually hold their shape.
Thanks for the menu...I'm copying and pasting:)

You are so funny! Thanks for making me smile today! And I just can't get over how cute Case is in his little bathrobe! Hope you guys are feeling better and sleeping soundly tonight!
how sweet! I love his little inquisitive eyes.
My heart is broken again for your pain. I ask why, do you , again, have to endure the worst pain a person should have to endure. I have been praying all day for Case and now for those who love him. I am so sorry. Please let me help in Lynden, in any way I can.
Deep prayer and love goes out to you.

We are praying for you - trusting God will give a peace that would pass any of our understanding...
Natasha, may God carry you through this time. My heart cries out for you and Reece. I pray that you will find rest in God alone for He promises to never leave us nor forsake us. He knows what you're going through, and He is broken for you. He can help you through any tragedy.
I am lifting you in prayer!
I am a friend of Michele. I just wanted you to know I will be praying for you guys. My heart breaks for you!

Psalm 34:18
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit
Psalm 73:26
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Matthew 11:25-30
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
You have been in my thoughts ever since I heard the news. I lift you up in prayer. My heart aches, and I just don't understand. God loves you so much. Don't loose your faith, and lean on him during this difficult time.

Natasha, we are praying for you and your family. Continue to rely on God for your strength and comfort during this time. Cast all your cares upon Him.
Natasha, Reese & Lane,
I am so sorry for what you are going through! I have no words...I am praying!!!
I am a friend of Michele's. What you are going through is unimaginable. My heart aches and the tears flow for you as a mother and as a sister in Christ. I heard this song today and some of the lines just made me think of you all and the enormous storm you are navigating.
Tenth Avenue North "Hold My Heart"
How long must I pray, must I pray to You?
How long must I wait, must I wait for You?
How long 'til I see Your face, see You shining through?
I'm on my knees, begging You to notice me.
I'm on my knees, Father will You turn to me?
One tear in the driving rain,
One voice in a sea of pain
Could the maker of the stars
Hear the sound of my breaking heart?
One life, that's all I am
Right now I can barely stand
If You're everything You say You are
Would You come close and hold my heart
I've been so afraid, afraid to close my eyes
So much can slip away before I say goodbye.
But if there's no other way, I'm done asking why.
I'm on my knees, begging You to turn to me
I'm on my knees, Father will You run to me?
One tear in the driving rain,
One voice in a sea of pain
Could the maker of the stars
Hear the sound of my breaking heart?
One life, that's all I am
Right now I can barely stand
If You're everything You say You are
Would You come close and hold my heart.
So many questions without answers, Your promises remain
I can't see but I'll take my chances to hear You call my name
To hear You call my name
One tear in the driving rain,
One voice in a sea of pain
Could the maker of the stars
Hear the sound of my breaking heart?
One life, that's all I am
Right now I can barely stand
If You're everything You say You are
Won't You come close and hold my heart.
Hold my heart, could you hold my heart?
Hold my heart.
Father it is impossible to understand what this family is going through. I ask you to surround them with Your presence in ways they could never have imagined before this tragedy. I know I am not alone when I ask you God to give me strength to trust you most when I least understand.
~Shannon (Moses Lake, WA)
Words cannot describe the pain you must feel. Our prayers are with you and your family.
Tasha - I am praying for you. Much love. Becki
Natasha, I am praying for you and your family! "For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, "Fear not, I will help you." Isaiah 41:13

Natasha, Reese and Lane,
I'm a friend of Michele's and just wanted you to know that we're praying for you and your sweet family. My deepest condolences go out to you in these most difficult days. I came across this poem the other day and thought of you. It's written from a mother's perspective of losing a child. Maybe it will provide some comfort or understanding in your grief (if that's at all possible). It's written by a "heart mom" friend of mine and it's titled, "I'm grieving"...
I know that life...it must go on...
Despite my very will...
But now that I have lost my child...
I find...that time stands still.
While other's go about their days...
And time drifts quickly by...
My life can't ever be the same...
No matter how I try...
I close my eyes and see his face...
And all that he might be...
But when I reach out with my hands...
I find... their still empty.
Yes...heaven must be beautiful...
In splendour and in glory...
Yes...lives have been forever touched...
By hearing my child's story...
That doesn't change these aching arms...
And somehow...time stands still...
For there's a space within my heart...
That only he can fill.
And yes I remain thankful...
For each day we could share...
But please don't say...that time will heal...
Just tell me that you care.
Don't be afraid to say his name...
If you are so inclined...
Don't worry that you'll make me cry...
He's always on my mind.
And if I cry a thousand tears...
That time cannot relieve...
Please...just try to understand...
That I will always grieve.
I know I'll see my child again...
God promises I will...
But part of me went with him...
Sometimes...time stands still.

I'm so very sorry Natasha and send hugs your way.
God bless,

I had to look at your blog even though I knew I would cry. I know you have good memories of the day he had that fancy bathrobe on. I couldn't help but smell it when I was there. I am sure you will hold onto that.All the time you put into his cute nursery was so bitter sweet to see, it shows how much you love him. I love you and will continue to pray for you each day.
