Kaly Grace Crawford

Early this morning, as she was being held by her mommy, Kaly went to
see Jesus. While we are a little weepy, we are mostly just so thankful
for the eight hours that we had with her (the doctors didn’t expect
her to live past birth, and she actually lived to the next day).

Thank you all so much for your prayers and support. We are surprised
by how thankful we feel, and that of course is entirely because of
God’s grace.

Truly in His grip,

Terry and Gloria

In lieu of any flowers or gifts, please consider sponsoring a needy child
in Kaly’s honor through World Vision or a similar organization (we owe
this idea to some friends who informed us that they are doing so).

going to the olympics!

Last Friday, we attempted to wait in line at the main box office for the last round of tickets.  Got there at 6 am and found a mob.  Apparently people had been camping out for 3 days, and around dawn that day, people charged the barricades, and what was once a line became this mob.  After deliberating for about 10-15 minutes, T decided we should leave for our own safety.

So we ended up waiting in line at a different venue for beach volleyball tickets — and it was the picture of order compared to the main box office.  And after 5 hours in the scorching heat — SUCCESS! :)

our family

Aimee took some pictures of us last weekend — and as many of you know or can imagine, it is TOUGH getting one where everyone is looking.

celebrating Kaly’s life

My dear friend, Vicky, hosted a shower for me and Kaly on Saturday.  So many friends, new and old, came to celebrate with us.  We ate, laughed, sang, cried…  It was such a special time.  And I now have a scrapbook full of thoughtful words, pictures, poems, songs and verses for our little girl.

Thank you, Lord, for giving us special moments…
