Dayton Family: Catch up!

Catch up!

Callie started out the summer with a mosquito bit on the side of her face that made her eye swell up BAD! It really scared me and I felt so bad for her!

Here she is back to normal at the 4th of July parade in Victor. She love having her face painted and she looked adorable!

I decided to give Brandon a Mohawk and made him wear it for the day. I absolutely LOVED it and wished he could have kept it but wearing it like that to an Elders quorum party was as bad as he wanted to be.

This is me at work in Jackson being bored! Dr. Bingham and I go to Jackson every other Thursday's to see patients. Sometimes it can get boring. I love working in IF hopefully at our Christmas party we will be able to get a picture of the whole staff together so I you can see my work family!

Also we are still trying to Adopt and would appreciate if everyone would keep us in mind. We love you all and hope all is well with you and your families. And.....hopefully it won't be as far out before I post again! ♥♥

I have made a vinyl decal for my friend's car that has a stick figure family with a heart in the middle that says "Hoping to adopt" then it had their website on the bottom. It was a great idea and turned out really cute. I would love to do one for you to help you get the word out if you'd like. :); 10:17 AM

What I Wish Everyone Knew

I wish everyone knew that this hurt never goes away. We still need support, and I still need to hear my son and daughters' name. Now, even more than before, I NEED to have their lives validated.

I wish everyone knew ....that even though my babies' deaths were the most painful experience of my life, I am grateful for the pain, and I would still choose to have them even knowing that it would end the same....and I would give anything to cuddle them in my arms again, if only for a brief moment.

I wish everyone knew... that my heart leaps with joy every time someone asks me about my babies.

I wish everyone knew that a baby's age or size at birth or death does not determine to how much of a person he or she was or how much they will be loved or missed.

I wish everyone knew that an early miscarriage and/or losing a tiny baby is just as difficult and painful as losing any other child.

I wish everyone knew how much I need to talk about mybabies, and how happy it makes me when someone asks about them.

I wish everyone knew the struggle that I go through everyday to answer the simplest questions, like: How many children do you have?

I wish everyone knew it is ok to talk about my loss.

I wish everyone knew that I think of my babies all the time.

I wish everyone knew that I have completely changed because of my experiences.

I wish everyone knew how much I love and miss my babies.

I wish everyone knew how much I need to talk about them and remember them.

I wish everyone knew what it felt like to hold them, still, perfect, breathtaking and have to leave them.

I wish everyone knew what it felt like to long for just 1 more second with their baby. Maybe then they could truly cherish all the billions of seconds they get with theirs.

I wish everyone knew that us mommies who lose our babies carry them with us everywhere we go...for the rest of our lives...and to say we are changed...is putting it rather lightly.

I wish everyone knew and appreciated what an absolute miracle each and every child is, from conception to birth, viable and enviable.

I wish everyone knew that even though I can smile and go to work and "function" like everyone else, I'm not like everyone else.

I wish everyone knew that even if you don't know what to say to me, saying nothing at all is more painful than you can imagine. Ignoring me and never speaking to me again because it makes you uncomfortable to be around me is worse than being uncomfortable or saying the wrong thing.
