So Much to Write About...

Sorry it has been so long since my last blog... Life with the Schreurs family has been very busy over the last month..
First.. April 15th.. We moved into our new house.. we love it; however it is a lot to get organized.. Thank goodness for my mom.. she has been here for the past couple of weeks trying to get us in shape! Can't wait for everyone to come see it!
On April 17th our family was saddened by the loss of our 4th child. I was 17 weeks along (2 days shy I guess) and went in for my normal Dr appt and we couldn't find a heartbeat. An ultrasound confirmed that we had lost the baby. What an emotional day for all of us. We keep telling ourselves that it happened for a reason.. which it is hard to except; however we know in our hearts that is the truth. We are very blessed with our 3 beautiful girls.. but will never forget our little angel. Since God has a plan for all of us, he will let us know if we will someday try for baby #4. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts, prayers, cards, e-mails during this difficult time. We are blessed!
On April 23rd, I went with Lexi to the Circus.. What a beautiful day.. The photos are below..
Lexi's last day of pre-school was Thursday, April 30th.. She did such a great job singing at the concert.. A few photos below.. She thinks she is going to kindergarten next year, but with a June birthday we are going to have her go to pre-school one more year.. I know it won't hurt in the long run..


I will get photos of the other two girls shortly.. they are all growing up.. McKinley will be having her concert on Tuesday, May 5th (her dad's birthday) that will be fun to watch.. Avery is in the terrible two's.. but still wouldn't trade her for the world. McKinley is doing very well in kindergarten and she will have kindergarten graduation on May 29th.. it is so hard to believe I will have a first grader soon! Wow.. how time flies..
Starting April 18th.. we have had weddings every weekend.. our last one is May 16th.. (5 weekends in a row.. ) Then camping starts.. so I am sure as we get things settled in the house and camping starts, I will have more to blog...
I hope all is well with everyone!

Words cannot express how sorry I was to read this morning about the loss of your little angel. The loss of a child is something that no one should ever have to experience. My prayers will be with you!

Hey Jamie-
Isn't it interesting how you feel as though you know someone from just following their blog?!

I heard about your recent loss and I just wanted to let you know that we're thinking and praying for you and your family. I know that you have been blessed with three amazing girls who are loved to high heaven, however that doesn't make the loss of your little angels any easier. I wouldn't wish this on anyone and I just pray for strength for you.

Take care!
Nikki
