Thursday, Dec. 6. 7:04 pm I picked myself up off the living room floor and rubbed my eyes. It's been a long day. Cami's on the phone. The kids are playing on the four-foot ledge we like to call the Island of Sodor. "Carter, Eve, let's get your shoes on. ... More »

I spent the last few hours updating the site so it's more user friendly and visually appearing. However, I'm still working out a few kinks so please let me know if you come across anything weird.

Just a quick note to thank all of those who were able to come the graveside service. AND thank you to all those who have sent emails, cards, flowers, love and prayers to our family. we have felt so much care and support - it has been a great blessing at this time.
the services were short and perfect. my dad, ed's dad and Ed spoke. our bishop dedicated jackson's grave. i was grateful for the thoughts they shared and i felt that ed did a perfect job expressing my feelings as well (thanks for not asking me to do that myself, ed).
ed and i were able to go back and visit the grave site later that evening and have a good cry. we feel so much peace over all, but a good cry is still in order, daily.
so thank you all for your love - we are eternally grateful.Comments: Add | PermalinkJackson Asher Hewett | Posted by alisha on 01 May 2008 Jackson Asher Hewett
I want to post about our baby, but the emails that my mom and ed's mom wrote are so well done, that i just don't have much to add.
thank you to everyone who has expressed sorrow and care. we aren't answering the phone simply because we can't speak (just tears). maybe next week, next month, who knows. but thank you, we feel very loved.
i will post more pictures later today, but here is one of our perfect baby boy.
Dear Ones,
I talked with Ed and he seems like he is sad but doing ok. He explained that Alisha had a fairly easy delivery and that she is at peace. He had given her a blessing a couple of weeks ago and said that now they understood the full meaning of that blessing. Their baby boy weighed 7 lbs 5 oz and succumbed as a result of a knotted cord. Alisha's mother is there so Alisha, Ed, and the girls are receiving loving care.
…
How grateful we are for the comfort of the gospel at this time of loss and in the days to come. Our knowledge of Eternal Families, the reality of the Atonement and Resurrection, the saved state of little children, love of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, and the comfort of the Holy Ghost brings peace in such trying times. May our faithful prayers and loving communications support Ed, Alisha, and family now and in the coming days.
…
Love, Cerita
Dear family,
I just wanted to update you on the situation with Alisha's baby. For those who haven't heard, he was stillborn today.
Yesterday Alisha had a busy day and noticed that the baby hadn't moved much. By night time she was very concerned and went to the hospital to be checked at the request of her doctor. The news was the worst. He had died. I had just returned from New Zealand a few hours earlier and she called at 2 in the morning to let us know. We rushed down to the hospital where I spent the morning with she and Ed as she delivered the baby. It was a very easy birth (compared to the girls) and we really felt the presence of the Lord comforting us throughout the day.
Baby "Jackson Asher Hewett" was 7 lbs 5 oz, 20 1/2" long and looked like a perfect blend of Isabel and Elena with Ed's nose, eyes, and long fingers and toes. He is adorable and perfect. … The cord was tightly wrapped around his neck twice, and with a knot in it. … It has been a bitter sweet day. The hospital staff was wonderful and very kind and helpful.
We are now at their home and trying to make burial arrangements. They would appreciate no calls for a while. It's just too hard to talk about it right now. If you want to send emails to them, I'm sure they would appreciate it. … They certainly don't want anyone to feel like they need to attend the graveside service. They would almost rather keep things small so that it will be easier on them emotionally. But they want to extend an invite to anyone who really feels like they would like to be there.
Please keep their little family in your prayers.
Love to all, Wendy

I just had to share these pictures of dear Elena. she found my old sponge rollers while i was cleaning out a cupboard. after a long discussion about what they are for, how they work, and how often i used them as a kid, she decided that she wanted to give it a try.
i have to admit, i was a bit nostalgic rolling her hair into the very same curlers i used as a kid. she was really patient and even willing to sleep "on the bumps". it was well worth it, as you will see in the pictures.
also, as a side note: i fixed the gallery from the last post (spring pictures). sorry about the goof-up, the website is being picky and ed is WAY TOO BUSY to work on something i can just reload.

The last two Saturdays have been warm so I took the girls outside to play. They played in the giant compost pile we recently had delivered while I played in the garden. If you had to judge the amount of 'play' I did compared to them, they won hands down.
Last week Alisha and I took the girls on their first fishing trip of the year. The girls had a great time and the fish well, not so much.Comments: Add | View (1) | PermalinkSpring Snow | Posted by alisha on 30 Mar 2008so if april showers bring may flowers, what does march snow bring? happy garden seedlings! and not-so-happy orchard blossoms; we are praying that they will make it through.
it was such a surprise this morning to wake up to a few inches of snow and then it just kept coming - all day. wow. i'd already forgotten how beautiful snow is. and as ed pointed out, my spring bulbs are actually even more beautiful with the snow around them (sorta makes 'em stand out).
the girls weaseled one last (we hope) sledding trip out of ed today and they had a great time! isabel even went down the hill all by herself - and liked it
ed was on a baking spree today and made bread, cinnamon rolls (elena was more than happy to help), and fabulous lamb ribs! we just love the lamb that we bought. (for those who don't know, it is an heirloom lamb - navajo - we bought from a local farmer who raises them on his pasture. then we had a local butcher cut and wrap it - it has been fantastic. and for those who think local, responsibly raised meat is more expensive, the final cost was about $3/lb!! for lamb!!)
one last thing: Elena gave her first talk in primary today and i couldn't be more proud of her. she was very confident and gave her prepared talk without any mistakes. she was so excited too; she kept raising her paper in her hand every time the teacher conducting would stand to say what was happening next. it was so great and at the same time, sobering. they really do grow up, don't they?
now it is dark, we are expecting more snow tonight and i am quite content. i love sundays, it may sound busy, but just spending time with my family (and letting ed do all the cooking) makes for a comfortable day.Comments: Add | Permalink Next page >>
