Remembering Nicholas

The rain came down hard all during the drive up to Oakhurst,

but the clouds parted just in time for the memorial service at the graveside.

Sweet Charlotte appreciated the flowers.

I think about you every day, you are in my heart and prayers.

Thank you for everything you taught me and for the good memories we share.

We will all miss you soooo much, Nicholas.

Yes, that is Benson.....

Nicholas's niece and nephews sang a beautiful song about families.

Thank you to everyone for your love, prayers and support!

For you, Nicholas

Nicholas asked me the night before he died to send him a photo

of his sweet Charlotte in her Halloween costume.

She is a perfect little "Snow White"

You are loved

We Love You, Nicholas!

January 30, 1980-November 4, 2009

I want a pony (horse) at my next birthday party!

"Your Welcome"

Yahoooo!

This IS great fun!

Look I'm a cowgirl!

When is it my turn, sis?

Bibity bobity BOO!

Time to open presents, Elle was so cute. After opening each gift she would say

"Oh, my Mickey Mouse", or "OH, my purple slippers.."
One gift was in a shoe box, and she joyfully exclaimed

"Oh, My Box"

She is a good example of gratitude...
I am sooooo grateful for all my many blessings, simple and grand!

what giving of my life force can give in return

Grandma Darlene and Holly gave blood at the Pumpkin patch blood drive, in return we got coupons for pony rides, bounce house fun and pumpkins. We all had a great time!

Yayhoo!

This was the 1st pony rides for the girls.

not all pumpkins are created equal....

sharing or negotiating?

Teagie found her favorite pumpkins

cousins
