Our first child!

As most of y'all know we had to say goodbye to our first child last week. He was only 9! He had been battling kennel cough or so we thought. As the weeks went on he started breathing bad. Come to find out he had lung cancer and it was bad:( boo!! Within days he was not doing well. Thursday and Friday were rough! I am so thankful that Ansley has an amazing support system at school. They were able to help her grieve. We decided we needed to get out of town and go up to the lake. Every turn we took at home reminded us of Oscar. Here are a couple pictures my sister took two days before he passed. Unfortunately I was unable to get him groomed for a month so he has some long hair:)









And here are some favorites...





The kids have been doing better this week. We read a book called Dog heaven. This week Oscar has gotten a lot of prayers for him about playing in heaven! Henry is the only one that doesn't get where he has gone. He still calls for him when we get home or when he drops food on the floor. Bless James' heart he tries his best to get Henry to understand!
Oscar was the best dog. He will be missed. Even his cousin (Caroline's golden) peanut search for him for a good 10 mins when I kidnapped her to hang with me yesterday. She ran around the house with oscars duck in her mouth.
I feel blessed to have such a wonderful mom. She brought us a beautiful picture frame and picture of Oscar in it!!! We love our doodle and are sure he is sitting with Great Grandma and getting spoiled by great Aunt Mary up in heaven.
