Our first Memorial Day in Indiana

Hello Emma! Since we weren't able to visit her grave to put flowers on it like we always do, the girls wanted to send balloons up just like we do on her birthday. They write their little messages and then we let them go, they always watch until they can't see them any more. Sometimes this can take a while! Pretty fun though.

I am still so grateful for this unexpected continuing blessing of a very real example to our kids about how important Eternal Families really are.

BBQ

We had a BBQ at Aunt Beth's house in Ft. Wayne and it was as usual a blast! We love being around all the Johnson family. I hope we can move down closer to them in the next couple of years, that would be awesome. Then we could drive them even more nuts! Here are some pics of the backyard fun...especially our dodgeball game, I think that needs to become a tradition!

I agree with the blessing it is to have the example of an Eternal family. William talks about our Conner all the time, and he understands a lot more about ressurection and eternal families than a lot of kids his age do. I like the balloon idea. We might have to try that one.
