Christopher Laurie: Husband, Father, Son, Friend
Once again I find myself at a loss for words. It's one of those things where I don't really know what to say but it is in my heart to just say something. Last week an old friend of Lorin's was taken from this world in a horrible car accident. Although we are finding comfort knowing that he has gone home to be with God, there is still a lot of sorrow thinking about the ones he left behind. His wife Brittany, Daughter Stella and Baby on the way are the focus of my prayers right now. Milo and Stella are Bday twins (one year apart) I think we all marveled together how each of our lives changed on July 28th when our babies came into this world and transformed us into parents. Both professional Graphic Designers and Avid ocean loving surfers...... this loss is so close to home for Lorin. I'm always impressed by Lorins broad range of friends...... how they come together to celebrate and now how they come together to mourn and give support.
This is such an awakening on how important it is to live each day to the fullest. Christopher had way too many plans and too much life in him to be gone this soon.... but these things are not in our hands. We never know when we will be called home. I will not be taking my simple life with my family for granted. Each and everyday is a gift and we must cherish every moment with our loved ones.

it doesn't matter that we were only gone for the weekend. we had a great time in palm springs and the vacation was very much needed and appreciated. milo had an equally wonderful time with his moppa and jim and came home with too many early bday presents!
on our way to the pool @ the resort
thumbs up to mommy and daddy's vakay!

he started walking walking on saturday july 5, but it didn't really sink in and become official to me until i saw him at playgroup. he was all over the place walking here and there. i watched him with a tiny lump in my throat. i could tell lorin had the same lump when i called to tell him about what a big boy milo was at playgroup.

the 4th of July..........
we had a great weekend. here are a few pictures from our holiday. milo love's to be thrown in the air...... over and over and over again! we spent the morning at the beach and the afternoon at the pool. when it got dark we did fireworks with our neighborhood......... i love our neighbors! :) (most of them) milo kinda liked the fireworks....... he really just wanted to go to bed cause it was past his bedtime.
