Buddies: Kayley & Ashlyn

Kayley and her cousin Ashlyn are definitely buddies! One of Kayley's favorite things to do is to call Ashlyn on the phone, both for pretend and for real. Here are a bunch of pictures of them together. The bottom two were when Kayley got to stay at Michelle's house while we had Cora at the hospital. Michelle was so sweet to watch her for those two days so we could enjoy that time together welcoming Cora into the world. But, Kayley and Ashlyn do really get along well and love to play with one another. Kayley will be really glad when Cora is old enough for her to play with Kayley.

Sweet Baby Kathryn McKay Sanders

The day after Cora was born, we sadly received the news that our niece Kathryn had passed away. On the 1st of August Jan had taken her to the hospital as she felt she was dehydrated. She had been sick along with the rest of the family. She ended up having a urinary tract infection and did have dehydration. I don't know all the details, but she ended up being life-flighted to a bigger hospital in Pensacola and after many efforts she ended up passing. After her death they found out that she had actually had Cardio Myopathy, something that no one was aware of nor is there any history in our family nor in the Sanders' family. It was very unexpected especially as she was only 5 1/2 months old. She will be greatly missed, but thanks to the knowledge of eternal families and John and Jan's desire to be with her again and their family's righteousness, they will be able to be with one another again someday. Until then, I'm sure Dad is having a hayday being able to be with her and is loving every minute of it as he did not get to live long while he was a Grandpa here on Earth before he passed. Here are some pictures of her during her life.
