appreciating family

We are just so happy to have our family. 
We haven't posted in a while because we haven't known what to say.  Over the weekend our friends Corey, Hetty and their two little girls died in an airplane collision.  It was such shocking and devastating news, none of us know quite what to do, or even how to really process that it happened.  Luckily we have a sweet and wonderful little girl that keeps us smiling even when we are sad.  Soon we will have two sweet little girls, although when the newest addition will be here is anyone's guess- I have proven I have no mother's intuition about these things.  We took this picture at another friend's wedding Saturday night before we heard the news.  I figured I had better post it before it is outdated :)  We have more pictures but I will save them for another post.

We hope you all give your family extra hugs and kisses tonight and appreciate the ones you love.

I remember them from your wedding too, they were so very sweet. I don't really know what to say, but I'll be thinking of you guys.

That news saddens us a great deal. Corey lived life big and with great energy. He and his family brightened our visits up there. They were such a beautiful family. We will miss them.

Take care and hold on to each other.

Carmen,

Thinking of you daily, hoping all is going well with the soon to arrive baby. Very sad to hear of a whole family wiped out; life is fragile. We love your blog; lots of hugs to Andrew and darling Chloe.
