Death is never easy. It only gets harder to deal with! But we come together as family and friends to pull each other through hard times. Being someone who recently lost somebody very dear to me helps me to relate to others. My loss makes me understand that the death of a loved one isn't hard just for the immediate family. It is a hard time for anyone that has been touched by that person who has passed. My Step Father is now home with the Lord and I know that I was so lucky to have had the time with him that I did. He has helped mold me into the person I have become and I know that his wisdom will continue with me as I raise my children. David was not only very important to his family he was important to his co workers and his neighbors and a person in line at the super market. He lit the world with his smile and continues to do so in his memory.
So many prayers were prayed for me and for my family so my prayer is now with Tony Farrar Jr's family and friends. We were so blessed to have had time with him. He touched us all in his own special way. We thank him for putting his life on the line for his country... for us! We thank his family for sharing him with us and we thank the Lord for the comfort of knowing he is now in His arms.
Lord I pray that you are with all of those who loved Tony Jr. Please help our hearts to heal but always remember.
Antie Jess had Jacob time.
Mark playing with the dog. Really, shes having fun.
1st game of the Stanley Cup playoffs
The kids were in the pool most of the day.
"Big" Derek and Mom had their birthday this month.
Happy Birthday MOM!!!
He had shots on either side. They were cute little snoopy band aids.
This is what he thought of the doctor after.
My best friend Lacy got Jacob a PooBear outfit. I had to make sure I got some pictures of him in it before he out grew it. That seems to be happening a lot. I already had to go through his clothes to get rid of things that don't fit. He didn't think much of the hat or the booties...
Mothers Day was pretty neat. I got to spend it with the family. Derek was in charge of the BBQ while my mom relaxed and Jacob and I played. My mom watched Jacob for me later that night so Derek and I could go out and have some alone time. When we got home they were both asleep on the couch. I couldn't miss this picture opportunity!!!
Jacob is really trying hard at the whole rolling over thing. He is so close but doesn't understand what to do with his other hand. He can't quite get past it. So until then he'll just eat it. It'll be happening pretty soon though I imagine! How scary!
Papa Riddle would be so proud! Other than his father, Papa Riddle was the biggest Redsox fan you'd even know! So in memory of Papa we are teaching Jacob to be a Redsox fan as well. Too bad we can't find one his size! Daddy did buy him an Angels outfit too.
Derek is doing so wonderful in his new role as Daddy. He has really been enjoying his new little buddy. Especially since Jacob really seems to enjoy watching hockey with him. I'll have to get a picture of it.
