THERE ARE DAYS....

.....and then there are days.

This last year has been filled with days. 

Of joy. 

And gut wrenching heartache. 

And endurance. 

And joy.

My heart is filled. 

We gathered for a blessing of Leighton who made her entrance 2 months early. 

But today she thrives. 

And cousins became fast friends.

And this week we are babysitting for parents who need some help and a break.

They didn't last long in the car ride home.

 

Tomorrow two more come.

I think Uncle Matt is pretty taken by this girl. 

My kids have grown into wonderful humans.  

And I'm proud of them everyday.

Today was a best day. 

A day of joy.  

AMAZING

In all of our imperfections and craziness

We are still family.

Cute grandsons.

Here are a lot of us. 

We aren't perfect. 

But we are family. 

Such a legacy to a sweet matriarch. 

FAMILIES ARE FOREVER

We buried a great lady yesterday.

Howie's mother who was nearly 96 years old. 

She had been alone for 36 years after her husband died. 

She found joy in her family and in service to those around her. 

She had a sharp mind until her death. 

It is hard to mourn, she was so ready to be reunited with her husband. 

We will miss her. 

But we know we will see her again.
