It's hard to believe another year is in the books! We've travelled around the world and had the pleasure of getting to know many wonderful people. Thank you to all of our clients from 2008! We had a great time with you all and hope to see more of you in '09. To our clients of 2009 - we can't wait to get to know you and work with you in the coming months! Here's to a new year full of hope and exciting possibilities.
We have been so overwhelmed by the outpouring of love that we have received in the past few weeks. The blog comments, emails, cards, flowers, meals, thoughts, and prayers sent our way have meant more than anyone can possibly know. We cannot thank you enough. We are completely heartbroken over the loss of our son and only time will make us whole again but your support and love have helped to lessen our pain in this difficult time. You are incredible people. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you - really and truly, thank you so much.
It is our Christmas wish that each of you will look with fresh eyes on the treasure you have in your loved ones and take the time to show them how much they mean to you this season. If you have children, look into their eyes and remember what an incredible gift it is to be able to do even just that. When we look at all of the simple things we take for granted every day, it becomes so obvious how rich our lives really are and that every Christmas season is a wonderful one, no matter what. May you all have a beautiful and blessed Christmas.
Much love,
Mel and Sean
Hey everybody--as most of you know, we were expecting our first son to be born any day now. Everything had been absolutely fine during all of our doctor's visits, check up's, etc.
Last week, we felt like something might not quite be right, so we went in the night before our scheduled weekly check up--just to be extra careful about everything. We expected they'd check everything out and send us home; however, within a matter of minutes of arriving at the hospital they said that our baby was experiencing some distress, and that we need to go ahead and do a c-section as a precaution to make sure that they could take care of any problems, but that everything would probably be all right.
Unfortunately, it didn't turn out that way--long story short, there were completely unexpected complications, and we lost our baby.
They kept us at the hospital for a week to make sure that Mel recovered--which she did. I just wanted to get this post up to let everybody know what happened--and let you all know that we'll be closing the office, for the most part, for the next couple of weeks. I'll try and get back with anything pertinent, and we'll still be getting any orders that have come in out to everybody (Christmas cards, etc.)--but please be patient if we aren't able to respond right away.
Thank you so much for everyone who has sent cards, flowers, thoughts, prayers, and everything else. You've all been a big help, and we greatly appreciate it.
Much love,
Sean & Mel
