. 3 Months .

Both of my girls have hit the 3 month mark.

One for turning 3 months and one for being gone for 3 months.

It's amazing how time just keeps moving on. Eleanor is how old Maggie was when Jonas passed away... does that make sense? Kinda weird to think.

I really do wish I would have had those 3 extra months with Maggie. I'm so grateful I did with her and Jonas. Every time Eleanor does something, all I can think about is how much Maggie would have loved that! Her cooing, her playing with toys, her eating her bottle, her getting her bum changed. Seriously all simple things, but she would have been the best big sister!

Gosh, I miss her.

Maggie a couple days before she passed away. I never would have guessed she was so close to leaving us. Her plans were bigger than ours and I pray every day for her to be near me.

Love you guys,

Whit and I have been married for 9 years now. How time flies when you are having fun. We have the most precious baby boy named Jonas. He is in Heaven right now, waiting for us to return to him. We miss him every minute. We also have a little girl named Maggie, who has the same disease that her brother had. Time with her is limited as well, so we continue to do what we did with her brother...enjoy every minute! We are so blessed to have the most beautiful children and even though our time with them will be short, we know we will be with them again!

Jonas Mathie

Jonas was born on December 2, 2007. At six weeks old Jonas was diagnosed with a genetic disorder called SMA (spinal muscular atrophy). SMA Type I is a terminal genetic disease that results in loss of nerves in the spinal cord and weakness of the muscles connected with those nerves. Jonas beat the odds and lived with us for almost three years! He returned to heaven November 18, 2010. Every day we had with him here on earth was our heaven. We are better people because of Jonas and miss him everyday.
