New Normal

We are still trying to figure out what our "new normal" is....

hard
questions
crying
longing to hold/see Austin again
relying on Gods strength
memories

received many wonderful books, one that has been a blessing is

a devotional book
Jesus Calling, by Sarah Young

very helpful for us.

If you could still keep us in your prayers that would be wonderful.

Thank you all

First Summer weekend at the lake

I posted this picture on fb, we had just pulled in to the lake house, and the kids wanted to go swimming. 

 I thought a lot about Austin.  He loved the lake and we have so many memories of him there.
