Family Vacation

It's been sometime since I have posted, sorry. There have been so many things I have wanted to share. I feel so far behind and hope that I can catch up with thoughts that I have had....old and new. However, for now I at least wanted to share....

A few weeks ago we received great news on Luke's and Abbey's health.

"All is good for now." Cannot tell you how wonderful those words are. SO...we planned a family vacation to Florida and we actually did it! We left April 15th and returned April 24th.

It was so very amazing! Just perfect! The Lord truly blessed us and we are so thankful for the time we had. The time was spent with our sweet dear friends and family and it was definitely an unforgettable trip!

There were quite a few photos, so I set up a video on you tube. Was unable to figure out adding the music....O well.....maybe next time.

Grace Avery Chez

Our precious Gracie was born February 2005 with her twin brother Luke. Gracie was born with a congenital heart defect-Truncus Arteriosus. She was our little Angel sent from God and we will always feel blessed for the 3 years we had with her. God chose to take Gracie home Janurary 9, 2008. Although our hearts ache for our baby girl we know it was not goodbye...just we will see you soon! To learn more about our little angel and to see her precious face, please visit her blog page by clicking on her photo above.

Abigail Elyse Chez

Our princess Abigail was born August 2009. Abigail was also born with the same congenital heart condition as her brother Luke, Tetrology of Fallot with Pulmonary Artesia and MAPCAS. She has endured two open heart surgeries within her first five months of life, along with 2 catheterizations. We did not know how our hearts would handle having another little girl again, but as always God knows. She too is another huge blessing from God! God blessed her with a happy spirit and she is always, "all smiles!"

About us

Adam and I were family friends and had known eachother for a number of years before we started dating. Shortly after we were dating we realized we were eachothers soul mate. Adam took me on an amazing trip to Paris in 2000 and surprised me with the most romantic marriage proposal. We were married in October 2000 and began our lives together in Corona del Mar, California. Our life consisted of work, traveling through Europe and many other locations, and lastly growing together as a couple. Four years into our marriage we were blessed with our twins Luke and Gracie and then in 2009 we were blessed with our sweet Abbey girl. The last eight years have been filled with many blessings, some trials and sorrow. We have been through eight open heart surgeries with our children. Extreme feeding issues. The most difficult~Our Gracie going to heaven~And we/our children face continued open heart surgeries. Although this journey has been extremely difficult at times, we have also received more blessings than we deserve. We have realized God chose us for eachother and also to be the parents of these amazing children he has given us. As pastor Chuck Obremski stated "finish the race strong" and that we will. Our hearts may suffer at times, but our souls will be saved. We will continue to keep our focus on all our blessings we receive with the most important one~life of eternity and the chance to be reunited with our sweet Gracie . Thank you for reading our blog. All our love, Terra and Adam
