Heidi was only 20 years old, and a beautiful girl. I know that everyone say's that everything happens for a reason, but when things like this happen it is hard to understand why someone so young and full of life was taken from us. My prayers and sympathy go out to Heidi's family and many, many friends. Here is a picture of Andrew and this beautiful girl, Heidi!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rKjPmZMqec0/SWozJegj6yI/AAAAAAAAAAM/gdhLEClC_lM/s1600-h/Andrew%26Heidi.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 136px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rKjPmZMqec0/SWozJegj6yI/AAAAAAAAAAM/gdhLEClC_lM/s200/Andrew%26Heidi.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290096950201543458" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5899517178900739955-6461464830503876887?l=xidbaby.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xidbaby.blogspot.com/feeds/6461464830503876887/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5899517178900739955&amp;postID=6461464830503876887' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5899517178900739955/posts/default/6461464830503876887'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5899517178900739955/posts/default/6461464830503876887'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xidbaby.blogspot.com/2009/01/another-young-life-taken-too-soon.html' title='Another Young Life Taken Too Soon!'/><author><name>Marti</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18120874776875197112</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rKjPmZMqec0/SWozJegj6yI/AAAAAAAAAAM/gdhLEClC_lM/s72-c/Andrew%26Heidi.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899517178900739955.post-5360926192410586448</id><published>2009-01-03T19:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-03T19:56:20.649-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Another Year Has Gone By</title><content type='html'>Well we are starting another year and I am hoping this is a better one than the last. Don't get me wrong, last year was okay. Our youngest son graduated from high school, and left home. I have an empty nest which was very hard for me to begin with, and even sometimesnow, I wish they were all home again, when the house is quiet and there is nothing to do or no one to do things for anymore. It is just me and my husband, and I love him dearly but things around the house now a day's seem monotonous. I am thankful I have my job or I would probably go insane just sitting around the house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had another Granddaughter this past year, in fact just a few week's ago now. I will put some picutures up at the bottom of this blog post. She is beautiful. We went to Portland and spent a week with our son, daughter-in-Law and the new baby. We had a wonderful time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other than that, we didn't do to much this past year. It was a quiet year full of a few exciting and sad moments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I suppose that is about all for now, I will write more soon. Please check back as I will hopefully be posting more often now that I have my blog going again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blessings to you and yours!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Marti*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/Babygurl2821/Picture031.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5899517178900739955-5360926192410586448?l=xidbaby.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xidbaby.blogspot.com/feeds/5360926192410586448/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5899517178900739955&amp;postID=5360926192410586448' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5899517178900739955/posts/default/5360926192410586448'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5899517178900739955/posts/default/5360926192410586448'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xidbaby.blogspot.com/2009/01/another-year-has-gone-by.html' title='Another Year Has Gone By'/><author><name>Marti</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18120874776875197112</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899517178900739955.post-4632746359938668444</id><published>2008-12-08T19:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-08T19:31:56.936-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Welcome</title><content type='html'>Welcome to Eyes Wide Open.
