not so fun times

that past couple weeks have been pretty rough on us....seems like we cannot get our head above water. sadness, illness, death and a really crazy schedule have left us all pretty much wiped out. just hoping for some happy times to come fast and a chance to catch our breath (literally and figuratively).....on a bit of a lighter note, we did have some smiles and laughs amongst the sorrow. got to hit the beach for several mondays in a row with some great friends, have the family picnic at school, birthday parties and transportation day at school. God is good at reminding us of all the good that there is to our life and that through the loss and sadness comes strength and light. I try to remind myself of that every day now.
