Above: Weston, almost too big for the baby swings at Lion’s Park.
On Thanksgiving Day, our family went out to Lion’s Park where there are two trees planted in memory of Weston. My brothers and sister-in-laws decided that they wanted to have helium balloons for the kids to write a message on and launch [...]

No More Photos.
It occurred to me this Thanksgiving holiday season that the photos of Weston we have are all we will ever have of him. I know in the back of my mind this has been a reality, but when you are starting out the door and think, “do I need my camera?” The [...]

Today marks the 11th anniversary of my marriage to Erin. We were married on November 29, 1997 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Our honeymoon was spent in Clearwater Beach, Florida. We did not realize at that time that only a few years later we would move to Orlando and live there for seven [...]
Back in Time

Well here are – the week of Thanksgiving. I am at a loss for words. It seems there just are no words to say sometimes. [...]
My Baby
Weston in his stroller at the fair last year. I am missing him so much this week. I find myself saying, “I want my baby back.” And I do. Thanks for all of you who continue to pray for us, never tiring. We are still very much in the middle of our storm.
Quiet
The house remains very quiet without Weston here. We miss him.
Weston’s New Life
This photo of Weston is a little blurry (actually a lot blurry) but I really like it so I decided to share it with you. I can remember these clothes he wore, and this outfit in particular. In this photo he was maybe a month old. Maybe less. I have been [...]
