Is it me or is it hard to believe Karin has been gone for 6 months? Some days are okay but when I actually stop to think about the reality of the situation I lose it.

Jeff and the kids are plugging along. Last night the kids were both gone so he hung out with the dog and is glad for another beating heart in the house - even if he has to wake up to let it pee at 5am.

Salina will be getting braces next week!! I'll be sure to post a picture of that. Pray for her, my daughter tells me it hurts when they first go on.

This picture is from a much simpler time in life. The picture (for all you that don't live in CA) of Salina and Noah and my kids, Morgan and Cole at California Adventure. Oh, to have that day back.
