we are back...

and i am slowing getting back into 'normal' life!  i still have a lot of things to deal with in madison and with my dad's personal things...he didn't have a will, it makes things a little more complicated.  thank you for all of your kind words and prayers, it means a lot to me.


my goal is to post something everyday this week, but we will see how things go.  i have a lot of orders to work on and get out the door...if you placed an order this past weekend, it will be shipping out by the end of this week!

the girls had a great time in madison and the weather was beautiful...in the 60's everyday!  they had no idea what was going on, which was just fine.  it is a little hard to explain to 2 year olds the whole death/dying situation.  i told them my daddy...rich, they didn't call him grandpa was sleeping with jesus now, which they pretty much understood the best they could.

here are some pictures from last week...

naps were taken in the car...everyday on our way to pick up daddy from the madison office.  it will be so nice to be back on schedule again...for all of us...i think mommy needs it the most!

  

the church, which looked really nice!

as you can see, my dad loved to fish and hunt...and he even made me go with him...i was not a big fan!

daddy and kaylin

the girls

we had military rites, which is always so touching

the family

with great-grandma june-as you can see kaylin was off and running!

and with auntie gail...oh, do the girls just love her!

we had a great weekend at home.  enjoyed the nice sunshine and did a lot of nothing...well, i did a ton of wash, worked on etsy orders, ran to the fabric store and went to supertarget for food...we were out!  

hope you had a great weekend too...did you do anything fun?
