Just read Isla's updated blog and saw her photos.
Mike is in the bathtub as I write this, exploring harmonics with an empty glass and different amounts of water etc. It is like Friday at the Coffee House, Jake started blowing out his straw, like a kazoo and before you know it the whole counter of boys had straws. As you blow you take a pair of scissors and trim it off a little at a time and the pitch goes up. I bet you never thought of that. Take time to enjoy and savor the moment. We can get so caught up in the turmoil of the world right now. I used to turn the news on as I got dressed for work but I found out this annoyed Mike, so I leave it off and just listen to the news on the radio at work etc. now. I actually think it has helped me get a better focus on life. Hey, I know we may get blown up by a bomb tomorrow, but we may also get killed in a car accident today. God is still in control. If we follow him he has a path for us more interesting and more rewarding than we could ever dream up. My life is rich. I don't have any status in this life but I have the honor of seeing a child smile by some small act of kindness.
We continue to miss Carrie, there is no bandaid, (elastaplast) big enough to cover up the pain of her not being around. I'm glad as a mother I took so many photos of my daughters and kept scrapbooks and even recorded their voice. I find comfort in remembering the good times and hearing Carrie say I love you will be played over and over until one day we are all reunited.
