Three Years

Tuesday, March 12th, 2013

  Three Years. I can’t believe he has been gone three whole years.  We miss everything about him. I miss him for his brothers, I miss him for his dad, I miss him for me, and for all of us who knew and loved him. Once when he and I were having a random conversation about getting hit by […]

Holidays

Monday, December 17th, 2012

The above are our Christmas pictures – a combination of two fantastic photographers, Meredith and Deb.  I also included one of Andrew’s soccer team after they won their tournament this weekend and one of Sam in his Christmas pajamas and Charlie at the podium before his piano recital telling a bit about himself. We leave on Friday for […]

Halloween

Thursday, November 1st, 2012

Sam loved  Halloween.   We’ve had a lot of Sam moments this past month.   We miss you, Sammo.  You would have loved running around with your brothers this Halloween.  The boys got quite a haul of candy last night and ran around Darcy’s neighborhood with a big group of kids.    Andrew and Charlie were Brazillian soccer […]

Ups and Downs

Monday, September 17th, 2012

Quick report since I have been so lax… Charlie boy turned six in August and we had a rock climbing party.  The boys finished up summer with water sports camp which they loved and chess camp which was filled with chess champions and intimidated them. We drove up the coast to San Francisco (nobody got carsick but […]

Twelve

Friday, July 13th, 2012

I can’t sleep. It’s officially Sam’s birthday 2:02am.  I got out Sam’s baby book which I haven’t looked at literally in years.  It’s sort of more of a journal that I wrote to Sam while I was pregnant with him that I planned on giving him when he turned eighteen.  I wrote about what Neil and […]

Summer

Friday, July 6th, 2012

We kicked the summer off with a trip to Zion National Park and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.  We left right after Charlie’s graduation and flew into Las Vegas and drove down to Zion. I had fun showing the boys the covered wagon that the settlers used to travel in at the Mormon […]

Wrapping Up the School Year

Thursday, May 24th, 2012

We are wrapping up the school year.  I can’t believe it.  I put Charlie’s graduation from kindergarten on the calendar this morning and was thinkings of Sam’s.  It was during his brief remission when we thought he was finished with treatment.  I remember exactly what he wore and how cute he was.  I remember crying […]

Two Years

Monday, March 12th, 2012

Two years ago today we said goodbye to our sweet funny boy and he took his last breath in our arms.  Ever since we have been trying to figure out how to live this crazy life without him.  I don’t know that we have figured it out very well but we are trying.  Thought these […]

February Update

Monday, February 6th, 2012

I’m long overdue an update.  Sorry about that.  We spent Christmas in New Mexico and it was one of the only places in the nation with lots of snow so that boys got to sled and ski and snowboard.  They had a great time with the horses and dogs and lots and lots of space.  […]
