Summer Schmorgesborg

So, I didn't update the blog about quite a few things and I was just going to brush them off, but the blog is kinda serving as my journaling at the moment and I'd feel bad if posterity missed out on a second of the Jayce and Sarah 2010 summer. (Plus I'd love another excuse to procrastinate some more homework..) So here is the schmorgesborg!

Way back at the end of June we took a trip down to California to visit Jayce's older sister and her family. Love those trips!
Cheese fondue...it's tradition! (said in voice from Ever After)

Girl's outing to get pedicures on "Kimber Day!" (This must become tradition)

No discrimination here, the boys had their own spa time!

It amazes me how many people are at this table and that's not even everybody on Jayce's side!

On our way down we got to stop by my grandpa's grave for the first time which was great for me since I couldn't go to the funeral. He's buried on an air force base, so he gets to have planes fly over all the time. I'm sure he loves that. Plus he's buried next to two people who have the angel Moroni stamped on their gravestones, so he's in good company! ;-)

4th of July hot air balloon festival! David, Jessie, Scott, Jayce, me, and Mariah

Waiting for the fireworks. We just wanted to prove to the world how good looking we are.

And how many chins we can conjure.

A little while ago my friend needed help for a photography assignment about lighting and she decided to enlist a dancer for the job! She just gave me a disc with some fun photos.



And Cam Cham came home!!! She has been serving as a missionary in Hungary for the last year and a half. Can't wait for Lydia and Rebecca to return! Love all of those girls!

    We miss you too! It is fun to see all of your pictures. You look beautiful in these dance pictures. I am still voting for Med school somewhere in Virginia so that we can visit. Enjoy the rest of your summer and keep us updated on all of the happenings in your life!

Welcome to the World Aiden Titus

Image
Something big arrived in the Porter Family early in the morning on September 29! He's big, he's blonde, and he has kisses all over his chunky cheeks...welcome to the world Aiden Titus Porter!  He was my second largest baby weighing in at 8 lb 10 oz, his abundance of blonde hair is reminiscent of Cameron, he's the 17th grandchild on the Porter side and the 14th on the Terry side and he came into the world fast and furious like his next-older brother, Spencer. He also completes the Porter basketball team. Summer Olympics 2032, here we come! Now where's a coach?    The Story The week of my due date my goal was just to stay relaxed and not get fixated on when Aiden might/might not arrive. The "Anything happening in there?!" questions are always well meant (and I totally ask them of other preggos too, it's just too exciting when someone is about to deliver!) but they make me feel like I should have control over something I do...

Spencer's Birth Story

Image
After those last days of trying my hardest to push away the heightening anticipation of Spencer's arrival, he finally arrived two weeks ago today! Now those days seem so far away. It's amazing how quickly the tables turn. Your life seems to be building up to one particular moment for so long and then all of a sudden you're on the other side of that moment and it's like life has never been any different. Here is the last "belly picture" I took before his arrival and I only thought about it because my parents had requested one. The difference between the first and the fourth kid I guess. This was just a couple of days prior to his birthday. Well, for all of you birth story enthusiasts and for my posterity, here is the story if you so wish to read it. Fair warning: it's probably going to be long. I woke up on Monday morning with that "my due date was yesterday and now I'm just depressed that he's not here yet" feeling. I was a...

Mom's Gone

Image
My Mom died in the early hours of June 29 of complications from pneumonia. She was one month shy of her 67 th birthday. I’ll be processing everything from the morning of her death to the day she was buried for a long time. I’m so grateful that I was able to talk to my mom just two days before she passed. I had sat down at my computer after rocking Spencer to sleep and it was quiet time in the Porter house. My mind went blank as soon as I sat down and I relaxed, which is abnormal because I usually feel torn between doing ten things at once when I sit down to “get stuff done” during quiet time. So I thought, “Well, what should I do? It’s been a while since I talked to Mom...” When I asked her how she was she answered, “Well, actually not so good,” and she explained that she had just come home from the doctor’s office where she found out that she had pneumonia.   She filled me in on some details from her appointment and how she had been feeling recently. My mom has had and ...
