***A Day in the Life of the Watsons!***: Sad day

This is the only way it would let me post :(

Here it is December, where has time gone. I just realized this a.m. I have not posted pics of our new home, where we moved to in May. I am really bad at blogging now :( Preston is doing great! He did have a cold, but other than that, he is doing well! We are so thankful for that.Missie loves Union Bible Academy. She has moved into the dorm so she won't have to drive 1 1/2 hrs/day and during winter it would have been hard. She loves living in dorm and having her friends there. She is in choir and absolutely loves that and travels when they travel. She is maintaining a B average, and that is great! It was a big switch to switch from ACE cirriculum to textbooks, but she has done very well. We love our home, and spending our first holidays in it! Will post some pics.

Sad day

Today has been a sad day for us.

At about 11:15 my phone rang and a friend was hysterical and saying "My baby is dead" and I thought she was overreacting and told her to calm down and tell me what was going on. She said she needed her mother, which lives very close to us, and could we try and get her. Well, her mother was not home; she was at the dr.'s office. Anyhow, I just knew her 3 month old baby was dead, that is all. Missie has helped care for this baby quite a bit. She loved Isabelle and Isabelle loved Missie. Missie had been going to their house to help with her because they had just moved, etc. Missie cried and cried today. She is heartbroken. Pam, the mother, is very torn up, of course. The baby was 3 months old, and had been born premature. Then she got RSV and was in the hospital the last time that Preston was in there, in PICU. Missie and I had gone to see her up there. Anyhow, Pam was feeding Isabelle and fell to sleep. When she woke up the baby was face down in the recliner beside her. But the EMT and coroner didn't think it was suffocation as there was no blueness on her face. Pam keeps begging everyone to please tell her that she didn't kill her own baby. A seizure might be a possibility, too. They did an autopsy but the results haven't come back yet. Please pray for this family. Hannah, a friend of ours, is coming to get Missie and I and taking us to the graveside. There is just a viewing and graveside. I am going to post a picture of Missie and the baby. Anyhow, the viewing and graveside is Thurs. Preston has to go to the dr. on Thurs. so Jr. is taking a vacation day and take him so Missie and I can go to the graveside.

Tomorrow night we are planning to attend the GBS choir; Preston is very excited about that. He only usually gets out on Sun p.m. but very much wanted to hear the choir. So we look forward to that. All prayers would be much appreciated for the Krupa family. Pam has a 10 yr. old son, to a previous marriage, and he has already lost his young father to brain cancer; now his baby sister. So it is hard on everyone.

So that was our upsetting day.
