little babies of 2009

(a rose in remembrance of baby Ruttigar)

Today, just one year ago, our little baby Ruttigar went to live with Jesus. We only got to see pictures of him via ultrasound, he was a mere 10 weeks (post conception). He had a sweet little heartbeat we got to hear a few times, and seeing the positive pregnancy test the day after Thanksgiving 2008 is a joyful memory I'll cherish. Our first baby!


(Baby Bennett)

I haven't posted any of the beautiful pictures I have (thanks to my dear friend Anne G) of baby Bennett. But I thought I'd post this cute one of his little poochy lips and tiny nose. It's a favorite. We were privileged to hold and kiss him on June 30, 09. He is with baby Ruttigar; they're worshiping at Jesus' feet.

We're still praying that we'll soon get to have a child to enjoy here on earth.

Amanda,

I have prayed for you often though out this past year. I have never gone through exactly what you have. But I do have 9 little babies worshiping at the feet of Jesus. I have only held 2 of them. But they were to little to know what they were. I have learned that we serve a great God. And He is faithful and the God of all comfort. Keep walking close to the Lord. He loves you so much. A passage of Scripture that I have clung to throughout the years is Isaiah 43. May it also be a blessing to you. ~ Sarah
