Jeff took the week off work and it was really nice to have him home. We also gained a TEENAGER in the house this week! Our oldest son, Jackson, turned 13 on Dec. 20th. </em><br />
<em>It was so nice spending time with family and watching the kiddos enjoy a fantastic Christmas.</em></div><div align="center"><em>Although, we have also had a lot of heartbreak as well :(</em></div><div align="center"><em>We lost our sweet baby to a miscarriage. I delivered our precious little guy on Monday Dec.19, 2011. </em></div><div align="center"><em>He was so little but so perfect...</em><br />
<em>We named him Sawyer Robert Francom. </em><br />
<em>He was named Robert after my dad who had a birthday on that same day.</em><br />
<em>We are so grateful for the time we had to hold him and love him...</em><br />
<em>The hospital also provided us with some wonderful memories to have such as pictures, a mold of Sawyer's hand, hand and foot prints and a blanket. They were so good to us.</em><br />
<em> We were able to bury him too which was so important to me.</em><br />
<em>Although, more than anything, I am thankful for the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Plan of Salvation and for the knowledge we have of Eternal Families. It is so comforting to know that we will be with our sweet little Sawyer again.</em><br />
<em>We love you our sweet angel...</em><br />
<br />

I have decided I finally need to get that degree I never received because I got married, had kids and supported him for the past decade. Oh well!!!</div><div align="center">To say I am stressed is a complete understatement but we will make it.
