Cosette's 5th Angel Day

In all reality, this day is not looked forward to. 

But when you put 4 spunky kids behind their sisters headstone, it seems to make things seem a bit brighter.  We still have 4, soon to be 5 kids with us. 

Last night Matt had to administer his final exam to his class and needed to leave before Ally got home from school.  He would get home once it was dark, so we decided to visit the cemetery before taking the kids to school.  It was chilly, dreary and just like every other Dec. 5 we've had since Cosette returned to Heavenly Father.  We kept the day low key like we always do.  I might have made it a bit more low key than normal, but hey I'm quite pregnant.

We ended the day with Firehouse Subs.  The kids ate really well and want to go back sometime soon. 

We miss our spunky girl, but know that we will be reunited with her again.

On Sunday Matt bore his testimony and shared something Ben was concerned about.  He noticed recently that once Brigham comes, there won't be an empty seat in the van for Sette.  This was quite alarming to him and upset him greatly.  We quickly told him that if Sette were to come back tomorrow, daddy wouldn't hesitate to go buy a bigger, possibly more expensive van.  We would make sure everyone had a seat in our van.  I love that he is so concerned about Cosette even though he hasn't known her in this life.  Most of the time he is really sweet with his sisters, but can quickly become TOO active for them.  He is looking forward to Briggs joining forces with him.  I've been trying to get him to understand that it will be awhile before they can actually play together, but that is just something he's going to have to learn. 

Miss Lucy has it in her mind that since mommy is having a boy baby, she is having a ballerina girl baby.  I'm in a quandary on how to handle this one because she is very convinced that the day Briggs comes, her ballerina baby is going to come out of her belly as well.  She tells me all about how she's going to feed her with her boo boos.  Another bridge we'll cross when we get there I guess.  I am getting excited for this little guy to join in on our crazy days.  One things for sure, I am looking forward to walking normal again, instead of waddling, being able to turn over in bed without making noises, hold my big kids in my lap without them falling off, not getting up to go to the bathroom 5 times a night, but I'm not complaining.  These are all side effects of something I am grateful my body can do.  I am thankful for a body that was created to make, carry and deliver healthy babies.
