Thank you for this update, Josh! All good things ☺️. As always, your heart is strong and I can see your children blooming under your caring guidance. Kindness is magic!
What a blessing for you all. I love that Sarah and the dad of Carly's children have such a central place in your lives. You are providing such a wonderful example for your family, and I wish you all the best. Be happy!
Glad your family is doing well. You seem extremely happy with life. It's good to understand how different hearts are feeling during this adjustment period. Especially with extended family. I am happy for you but to be honest, I'd be lying if I didn't admit to having a heart pain, the first time you mentioned Carly. And I'm not even family! I am sure she is a lovely woman and I wish you both the best, truly. Take care Josh and have a wonderful holiday season. ❤
That is a lot for your children to deal with within one year. To start dating and moving in with girlfriend is too quick. This has to be hard on Sarah's on family within one year
I am really glad to see you and to see you happy Josh! May the happiness continue and may your kids and your new ladies kids continue to grow through this process. Happy Holidays!
Actually that is a misconception. This was specifically studied for divorcees. And any grief psychologist/ therapist says do what works best for you, and if it’s matters of the heart then what’s best for both, and if there are children, what’s best for all hearts. Our families became friends kids and adults, and had formed relationships before blending. So, some just see a glimpse of a video (usually 1/2) and then spout false old outdated psychology that actually has nothing to do with my situation. Like the phases/steps of grief (which apply to dying humans not those grieving the death of a partner). So, I take most negative judgements with a grain of salt and live unapologetically happy. 😉 thanks for the good wishes. I appreciate it. If this response feels defensive, it’s not intended to be, just trying to share a perspective.
@ sorry if I was too direct.In my life I have been fortunate to have people close to me challenge me a bit for major life decisions. I hope you have someone on occasion may challenge you as well. In a supportive way. Best to you and your family.
I was so happy to see you pop up on my view list today. It is such happy news to see how all the hard work that you have been doing is bringing you to this time of gratitude and blending. Hope that you all continue to thrive and I am looking forward to meeting Carly some time. Merry Christmas to your family.
Nice to see you Josh. Glad Braeden and Rayla are doing well, congrats Braeden on your career choice. Sarah is a tough act to follow, so her memory and beautiful heart will always be there.
So happy to see this update just wonderful!!!!! It is hard to move on but you have one life and i know Sarha would want you all to be happy! Sending Hugs and prayers
So wonderful to see you Josh and even more so that you and the kids are happy and doing well. This Christmas will be two years that my husband has passed. May your heart have many reasons to smile. We will always carry a light for Sarah.
So so nice to see you Josh and to hear you and the family are healthy and well. I love the Christmas village it is very big ! I have one but it only consists of 13 buildings some fir trees and little people carol singing and sledging and generally playing in the snow. Oh I also have converted one of my large dolls houses into the Griswold house covered in fairy lights with a RV parked outside. Griswold family Christmas is one of my favourite Christmas movies. I do hope you all have a peaceful Christmas filled with good things to eat, lots of love, bundles of fun and plenty of kindness that you all deserve. Sending love & light 🐰❤
So good to see you again. Happy things are working out well for you. I’d love to watch whatever you would like to share. And meet your new family! That’s exciting. Happy Holidays!!
You know, I just wanted to say that I miss Sarah too. It was an incredible experience to follow, it was happy, sad, frightening, and everything in between. I want to thank both you and Sarah for allowing us to live your life as it unfolded. We all have these experiences in common. It was definitely a learning experience for all of us. Boy, I’ll tell you, Sarah was one of THE sweetest human beings I ever met. I just wanted to tell you, still think of you all. God Bless all of you in your new life. ❤
It’s your life. It’s your family’s life. No one has the responsibility or right to judge your decisions or life. As you know full well, life is rarely as long as we would like it would be with our loved ones. Living in the present is indeed the key. I wish you all every happiness. 💙
Thanks for the updates!!!! So happy for you and your new family!!!!! I was just thinking of Sara yesterday and wandering how y’all are doing!!! I am so glad everyone is doing well and pray that God continues to bless your family!!!! I love your Christmas decorations!!!!! Happy Holidays!! 🙏☀️🥰🎄🌲☀️🥰🙏
Im a widow and its very, very difficult to lose a much loved husband/wife, even more devastating when children are involved, you never, ever get over it, however passing time allows adjustment to this new life, i wish you and the children much happiness for the future Josh ❤
Sarah would be happy for you Josh, wishing you happiness for the future with Carly. I still use Sarah's Be kind a lot and mention her saying that's how she ended her videos. A beautiful lady never forgotten. Merry Christmas to you Carly and all the children ❤
Sending continued 💪🏼❤️🙏🏼 Josh, I’m so happy for you and the kiddos. Happy late Thanksgiving and if we don’t hear from you again til after the next holiday ,,,I hope you have a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year💌
I'm sure Sarah had a hand in helping you make that special connection between Braeden and that particular baseball player who lost his mom to cancer at around the same age. Those who pass before us continue to help us on our healing journeys. I just lost my husband in July. Its so hard, the grief process.. Wishing you all the very best. Please give yourself time and space to heal. Big decisions dont always have great outcomes if we are in a low place when we make them..
Such GREAT news! You look almost gitty 😊 love your new perspective, looks like a lot of positive energy is in your world now. I must say, I started to laugh when you were talking about being minimalistic with that massive holiday scene behind you. I was like,” seriously?”! Then as a good storyteller, you tied it up nice and neat at the end. Blessings to you and your family.
😂 minimalisms definition is interesting. Not sure I can part with my holiday decor 😂 but excess clothes, electronics, gadgets, and other random stuff 😆 no problems
It’s so great to see you, and to get an update on the family. I’m glad to hear that everyone is doing well, and healing as well as can be expected. I love the way you communicate as a family, and are able to talk through this journey. Best wishes to you all, as you move forward, in the healthy way that you are. ❤️
Thanks for watching friend! We are all trying to heal together, and our kids are thriving in how we have chosen to move forward. Open honest communication has been so helpful.
Josh so nice to see you and hear your voice again! You look good! Nice to know you and the kiddos are doing well. Never let the nay sayers bring you down. You do what you feel is best for your family and live your life. Be happy! You all deserve happiness❤❤
Hi Josh!!? So great to see you!! I'm happy things are going well for you and the kids. I love your tree in the background. It's beautiful. Oh , and the adorable carousel!! I wish you all a very merry Christmas and happy NEW YEAR! hugs and ❤
So happy for you all. I love your Christmas 🎄 village. If you have any information on who makes that gorgeous carousel behind you, I would love to purchase one for my family. Happy holidays to you and your family ❤🍀🎄☃️❄️
Haven't checked in for a while, as it's been busy over here in Perth. So great to see you looking so happy. Love the approach to your new life. ❤ Best wishes for the holidays.
Josh, I think of you guy’s all the time and wondered how you all are doing. So happy to hear you all are happy and doing well. Congratulations on your relationship with Carly. I am sure you are one big happy family. Would love to see another episode of you and our tasting baker. They are always such a treat. Take good care. Enjoy the holidays and please when you can keep in touch. Happy holidays to you all. Much love. Keep that smile on your face & joy in your heart.
Omg I watched your other video & you mentioned Braeden doing baseball. Something in my mind I imagined Braeden being a baseball player! Seriously that is crazy i thought that & you said that! Its definitely meant to be . Wish him the best with baseball. So happy for you & your family . Sara would be relieved you are all happy & doing so well. Im sure Braeden feels comfort & relief that you are happy & he can focus on being a teen instead of worrying about you. Children do worry about their parents. Love the xmas village ❤❤❤
Josh, So happy for you. It’s wonderful that you met Carly who understands the loss of a spouse. I wish you and your families the best. Have a wonderful Christmas.
Hi yes my family n I always talk about the funny memories of my mum n dad whom I looked after till they passed with cancer, so many beautiful memories to pass down n so many signs they have given us that they are always around 😊
I'm grateful you are all doing well. Hopefully we get to meet Carly eventually. I think your families just worry about everyone. It's wonderful to see you again 🥰🥰
Did you move to a different state? I didn’t realize you were dating and living with someone. How long have you lived together? How did you meet? I’m glad the kids are doing well. And in this upside world - I think happiness and connection is the best gift you can give your kids. I did laugh at the minimalist comments as you sit in front of the most crowded holiday display ever 😃 so that was great when you mentioned that dichotomy. No computer!! Wow. But now that you’re back to full time work outside the home I guess vlogging isn’t needing to serve the same purposes. I admire your ability to adapt as life changes and to do what your heart says is the best thing to do. Sending peace!!
It's good to see you Josh! Edited to add: My little cousin plays professional baseball so it's really not far fetched if he puts the work on. The boy is talented. My cousin is named Samuel Freeman and his uniform was red the last I saw. He worked from childhood just like your son.
It’s great to see and hear from you! 😊 Thanks for the positive update! I love knowing you have moved through the steps and making a great life for yourself! As life should be! As one who’s had to live life after a death, it IS difficult for others involved. If it’s done right, and you give others the time they need, I will work out just fine! 😃 Everyone grieves at a different speed. It’s no one’s fault. Please keep us posted from time to time. I miss you! I feel like you’re family! ❤️
Sorry Josh, I must apologize for my first comment. I just realized that Sarah passed over a year ago. How time flies? It feels like 3 months ago. You have my blessing moving on after a year. Best wishes to you and your blended family.
Wow that's amazing you found a partner with similar loss of a spouse. Lately I've been hoping i could meet someone like that. Been alone for a very long time:( What a terrific Christmas village you've created!! So fun!!
My brother gets really annoyed because I ask for things that I need instead of things that I want. If you have money, you don’t focus less on practical gifts than monetary wants. 🤷🏻♀️
Grateful for the update and for the positive path you are all on together. Connection, mutual support and shared experiences help healing. ❤️🩹 Best wishes and love to you all! 🎄 💫 ✨
♥️♥️🙏 I got up this morning to get my coffee and I was thinking of Sarah and so I reached for the coffee cup that says be kind and make good choices. I wondered how you and your family were doing and a few hours later this video popped up on my feet.🙏 thank you Lord🙏 I always have a back up plan and other things that you’re interested in. My adult son is a sports fanatic so he knows a whole ton about football football teams players on all different teams, baseball baseball teams, a little bit of hockey and a whole ton ton ton about music and musicians! Another good thing if you wanted to get your son something for Christmas try some trivia baseball trivia to for him to learn in his mind about baseball because that seems to be interest. ❤ This is the seventh Christmas since my husband/my kids dad passed away. It always seems like it was just two years ago. We are doing better, but the holidays are difficult because my mother and father-in-law and my mom and dad are gone now. My mom passed away in July , it’s hard to believe I was in my 50s when my husband passed almost 64 now😬 👏👏 i’m really happy for you and your partner♥️ 🎄 merry Christmas happy holidays. I hope your new year is filled with blessings and happiness, and good health.♥️ This is just me, but I don’t like to say spouse died. I like to say spouse passed away. I don’t know maybe this is just a female sensitive thing lol
Hey friend. Many people use passed, or gone, or other terms, which is fine and I don’t mind. I use died, dead and death very literally as little ones can’t interpret those to mean their parent will be returning to them. This was language Sarah and I chose before death, to ensure our kids were able to know what is happening, so they don’t think there was a choice, that mom left, and know she can’t return.
Happy for you!! You deserve to be happy. Glad the kiddos are doing well, too! Best wishes to your big blended family ❤
Thank you for this update, Josh! All good things ☺️. As always, your heart is strong and I can see your children blooming under your caring guidance. Kindness is magic!
Happy for you and family. You all deserve to be happy after so much grief. ❤
What a blessing for you all. I love that Sarah and the dad of Carly's children have such a central place in your lives. You are providing such a wonderful example for your family, and I wish you all the best. Be happy!
Thanks, we are trying to create a loving, supportive blended family for our children.
I’m so happy to hear you have found someone to share your heart with is such a beautiful blessing . Marry Christmas to you and your family.
Very happy for you! Sara’s spirit shines on and within you every day. Much much love.
Glad your family is doing well. You seem extremely happy with life. It's good to understand how different hearts are feeling during this adjustment period. Especially with extended family.
I am happy for you but to be honest, I'd be lying if I didn't admit to having a heart pain, the first time you mentioned Carly. And I'm not even family! I am sure she is a lovely woman and I wish you both the best, truly.
Take care Josh and have a wonderful holiday season. ❤
Heart pain is bound to happen. She and I have it in a daily basis, as do our kids. I appreciate it. Our person died, but our love for them is forever.
That is a lot for your children to deal with within one year. To start dating and moving in with girlfriend is too quick. This has to be hard on Sarah's on family within one year
Okay
I am really glad to see you and to see you happy Josh! May the happiness continue and may your kids and your new ladies kids continue to grow through this process. Happy Holidays!
It is so good to see you...Christmas decorations look fabulous...where did you get your tree lights? ...been looking everywhere for some like that.
No the memories of our lost love ones never fade away! I always talk about my Father almost daily and I miss him 😢
You look and sound so much better, I’m happy for you and your new peeps. Good luck to all of you.❤
Thanks! We are trying to make it work! 💕
It was quick to blend families Best of luck
Okay. 🤷
@ I wish you the best of luck. It’s just that after you lose someone they say never make big decisions u til at least a year. I do wish you the best.
Actually that is a misconception. This was specifically studied for divorcees. And any grief psychologist/ therapist says do what works best for you, and if it’s matters of the heart then what’s best for both, and if there are children, what’s best for all hearts.

I am challenged on a regular by family, friends, and strangers.
You've been through the worst, you deserve the best life offers ❤
Thank you ❤️

Thank you for the update and great news on your family.
You’re welcome!
Good to hear you are all doing well - wishing you all a happy healthy holiday 🎄🎄🎄
Hi yes my family n I always talk about the funny memories of my mum n dad whom I looked after till they passed with cancer, so many beautiful memories to pass down n so many signs they have given us that they are always around 😊
I'm grateful you are all doing well. Hopefully we get to meet Carly eventually. I think your families just worry about everyone.
It's wonderful to see you again 🥰🥰
Happy for all of you. Blessed always 🎉❤

That’s so cool! I love hearing stories like this. :)
I'm so glad to see you. Sarah will always be a part of your life. I'm so glad you are happy. You deserve it.
Happy Christmas nice to see your all happy
Happy holidays!
Nice to c u again and keeping us updated god bless u all 🙏🏻🙏🏻💙💙❤️❤️
Thank you so much! 🙏
So happy for you all! Sarah would be proud of you❤️❤️❤️
I was just thinking of you yesterday and here you are lol❤
Nice video! 💚🎄☃️❄️🎅🏻
So happy for you and your family.
You can be too minimal. Nothing wrong with a TV, playing games, and tech, and enjoying being outdoors. Gifts should be what you want and not need.
We have changed gifting to be want, need, read, and really focused on experience instead of things. :)
It’s great to see and hear from you! 😊 Thanks for the positive update! I love knowing you have moved through the steps and making a great life for yourself! As life should be! As one who’s had to live life after a death, it IS difficult for others involved. If it’s done right, and you give others the time they need, I will work out just fine! 😃 Everyone grieves at a different speed. It’s no one’s fault. Please keep us posted from time to time. I miss you! I feel like you’re family! ❤️
Thanks for sharing. Happy for you all! Very wise decisions ❤ Enjoy!
Hi Josh it's wonderful to see you and I'm glad you're doing so well
Just be happy💕life is short
Sorry Josh, I must apologize for my first comment. I just realized that Sarah passed over a year ago. How time flies? It feels like 3 months ago. You have my blessing moving on after a year. Best wishes to you and your blended family.
Glad you all are doing well
Wow that's amazing you found a partner with similar loss of a spouse. Lately I've been hoping i could meet someone like that. Been alone for a very long time:( What a terrific Christmas village you've created!! So fun!!
❤️ similar circumstances and grief group brought us together. One of those when you least expect it situations I guess.
@POGGrief that'd be a good partner. One that understands you cannot replace the one that was lost. I hope everything works out well for you all!!❤️❤️
It is wonderful to see you all!
Wonderful news! You all deserve much happiness ❤
Thanks, we're so happy!
My brother gets really annoyed because I ask for things that I need instead of things that I want. If you have money, you don’t focus less on practical gifts than monetary wants. 🤷🏻♀️
Grateful for the update and for the positive path you are all on together. Connection, mutual support and shared experiences help healing. ❤️🩹 Best wishes and love to you all! 🎄 💫 ✨
Thanks for your kind words. 🙏
I was just thinking about you 2 days ago, like, where are they? Happy to see you thriving and thanks for the update. 🎄🎅🤶 Merry Christmas 🎅🤶🎄
Thanks! It’s been a busy time, glad you’re thinking of us too, and Merry Christmas to you!
So happy for you josh 🩵🩵🩵
So so happy for you all ❤
Great idea to get rid of technology 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
♥️♥️🙏 I got up this morning to get my coffee and I was thinking of Sarah and so I reached for the coffee cup that says be kind and make good choices. I wondered how you and your family were doing and a few hours later this video popped up on my feet.🙏 thank you Lord🙏
I always have a back up plan and other things that you’re interested in.
My adult son is a sports fanatic so he knows a whole ton about football football teams players on all different teams, baseball baseball teams, a little bit of hockey and a whole ton ton ton about music and musicians!
Another good thing if you wanted to get your son something for Christmas try some trivia baseball trivia to for him to learn in his mind about baseball because that seems to be interest. ❤
This is the seventh Christmas since my husband/my kids dad passed away. It always seems like it was just two years ago. We are doing better, but the holidays are difficult because my mother and father-in-law and my mom and dad are gone now. My mom passed away in July , it’s hard to believe I was in my 50s when my husband passed almost 64 now😬
👏👏 i’m really happy for you and your partner♥️
🎄 merry Christmas happy holidays. I hope your new year is filled with blessings and happiness, and good health.♥️
This is just me, but I don’t like to say spouse died. I like to say spouse passed away. I don’t know maybe this is just a female sensitive thing lol
Hey friend. Many people use passed, or gone, or other terms, which is fine and I don’t mind. I use died, dead and death very literally as little ones can’t interpret those to mean their parent will be returning to them. This was language Sarah and I chose before death, to ensure our kids were able to know what is happening, so they don’t think there was a choice, that mom left, and know she can’t return.
@ 🤔 good point!! ♥️
So happy 😊 for you ❤
Been thinking of y'all good luck with everything ❤
I wish you all much love ❤️😊
