Celebrating the Life of Breck

I thank my God every time I remember you!
Philippians 1:3

Today we paused to remember... to remember the flooding of emotion as we ran down the stairs not knowing what we would find after Breck fell out of a second story window in our home... We paused to remember the overwhelming peace that came once I saw him and felt God whisper - he's going to be okay... we paused to remember the ambulance ride and the multiple tests and that five hours later Breck walked out of the hospital on his own two feet. We paused to remember God's grace and His goodness and His power... that HE is the giver of life and how last year at this time we celebrated a miracle for our family and with many of you. I hope you can reflect on the past year with us and not only celebrate the life of Breck with us but the life of all those you love. May you give them an extra hug today!
Hallelujah! Thank God! Pray to him by name! Tell everyone you meet what he has done. Sing him songs, belt out hymns, translate His wonders into music. Pslam 105

We chose pink balloons in honor of that being Breck's favorite color!

This is Breck recently at his Thanksgiving Feast. All dressed up in a costume that belonged to his great Uncle Darold.

This year in school the children made turkeys and wrote on them what they were thankful for. Breck wrote that he was thankful for his friend Ava. And what a sweet friend she is! We too pause this year and are thankful for all of our friends.

At Aunt Katy and Uncle Johns in Austin being his silly self.
Breck in the hospital after his fall. Today we remember him saying he felt a mouse tickle his back when he fell from the window and again in the ambulance. Today we remember and are thankful for our guardian angels!
Thank you Breck for the joy and the laughter and the love that you bring to our family. Today we pause to be grateful for you but also for the mercy our Heavenly Father showed us last year at this time.
He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed,
Miracles that cannot be counted
Job 9:10

Happy Anniversary Dad and Mom




“Love is what makes two people sit in the middle of a bench when there is plenty of room at both ends”
Thank you for "sitting together" over the past 41 years. We love you!

Mom comes to visit

We had a fun week with mom! Thanks for coming to share in life with us. It is always a treasure to get to be with you. We miss you!
Learning new dances from Grammy is always a favorite activity!


Playing in the leaves! We could have buried ourselves a thousand times over. Jeff has blown, burned, or chopped up many of them now and the kids are missing thier piles to play in.

Celebrating the Lennon Sisters and Tony Orlando. I'm glad we got to go celebrate a piece of history with you. It was fun for all.

A brief update

Hi famiy and Friends.... I thought I'd let you know that my computer is "sick" and has not being usuable for over a week and is now in the shop. I have logged on to Jeff's computer to let you know I have not fallen off the face of the earth! I hope to get my computer back soon and will post new pictures. I had a wonderful week having mom here for a visit. We enjoyed getting to share life together! Hope you are all doing well.. it feels like Winter has hit here - it's cold and dreary.
