I thought I would take a little time and answer some questions that have been asked by several people.
Where did we get the name Anarazell?
Years ago, Jen and I used to recieve pictures from one of those "Adopt a Child" places and we always put the pictures on the 'fridge and prayed for the children. One day we got a picture of a girl from the Philippines and her name was Anarazell, and we just fell in love with it. Jen loved the name Isabella as well, and our first daughter recieved that name...I'm not exactly sure why, but that is how it worked out...
What are our plans now that it is all over?
Excellent question...
Tom and Grace, who we are staying with, will be in California for all of the Christmas break, so they said that we can stay here if we want to. We think we do. If we went back to our school in Missouri almost everyone that we know will be on break as well, and we will be alone in a house full of baby things...so we think that we will wait here for a while. After that we don't know what we are going to do.
Are you planning on having more children?
Right now I would answer, no. Everthing is way too fresh to think about doing it again. 25% Odds that this can happen again... I can't even imagine going through this again.
What are your plans with Anarazell's body?
We don't know when we will ever be back in Wisconsin again, so burying her body here or in Missouri seems silly to us. Having her body shipped out to Oregon seems like an unnecessary expence to us. We know that she is no longer in that body... So we are going to have her cremated. Whenever we make it back to our home church in So.Oregon we will bring the ashes there and we can bury them on the church property. There is a little memorial ground there. Jen and I will probably find a nice river rock that we like and have something carved into that...
Well, those are all the questions I can think about now...if you have more, feel free to call or write. Don't be afraid to contact us. We would love to talk to people and we have no problem talking about our little girl...
It is still hard, but we still know that God is in control, and whatever we are going through is part of His perfect plan.

I think putting the ashes in the memorial ground of your church with an engraved river rock is a lovely idea.
What are you guys going to do for Christmas? You could always join our church service and join us for Christmas Eve if you don't have someone to spend it with!
Dear Jen and Justin-
Words fail. My heart aches for you. Thank you for sharing your story and the pictures. Anarazell is beautful. I will continue to pray for you. May God's peace be with you.
Love,

I occasionaly visit your other blog and clicked on over here. I was saddened and shocked by the passing of your daughter. I hope you and your family are coping well at this time. The four of you take a beautiful picture.
Glory baby you slipped away as fast as we could say baby…baby..
You were growing, what happened dear?
You disappeared on us baby…baby..
Heaven will hold you before we do
Heaven will keep you safe until we’re home with you…
Until we’re home with you…
Miss you everyday
Miss you in every way
But we know there’s a
day when we will hold you
We will hold you
You’ll kiss our tears away
When we’re home to stay
Can’t wait for the day when we will see you
We will see you
But baby let sweet Jesus hold you
‘till mom and dad can hold you…
You’ll just have heaven before we do
You’ll just have heaven before we do
Sweet little babies, it’s hard to
understand it ‘cause we’re hurting
We are hurting
But there is healing
And we know we’re stronger people through the growing
And in knowing-
That all things work together for our good
And God works His purposes just like He said He would…
Just like He said He would…
I can’t imagine heaven’s lullabies
and what they must sound like
But I will rest in knowing, heaven is your home
And it’s all you’ll ever know…all you’ll ever know…
Glory Baby by Watermark
Praying for you guys.
