remembering...

all the wonderful people who serve our country and who keep us safe and free!  what a perfect Holiday to honor those who went before us and who continually fight for our freedom.

Thank you!

we went to 7 peaks water park with some friends and family and enjoyed some water slides and 
NO LINES!  it was so much fun.

this year we are season pass holders, so you may see us here quite a bit...

and of course remembering our special angel...

the kids picked out their own balloon and we brought flowers to Parkers grave.

I am always amazed at how beautiful it really is to be at a cemetery on memorial day with all the flowers.
It's absolutely beautiful and the spirit there is always so wonderful.

I love the feeling we get when we talk about parker to the kids.  they are so darling, their questions and how observant they are just makes me beam.  they truly love him.

It will be one amazing reunion...

Shannon, I check your blog regularly but never comment. Sorry about that. I teared up looking at the pictures of your kids at Parker's grave. How sweet it is and it will be an amazing reunion. I have a little niece that passed away right after birth due to Trisomy 18 complications and I KNOW the reunion in heaven will be so special for her family. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for showing the picture of Parker's head stone. I had not seen it before. What a sweet reminder of that young man.

Oh, little Parker. I'm sure the only of any of our children who will truly be perfect. Memories of that time are still tender. Loves to your whole family.
