Cascade Falls on the Blue Ridge Parkway

We were so happy to be able to hike to the Cascade Falls.



It was such a beautiful view on the Blue Ridge Parkway!


We were so happy to have Stacey and Legrand and the girls with us.

Emily had a great little carrier for Rowan.

The girls had a great time together!

We crossed several little bridges over streams.

It was so beautiful by the falls.

Tom took this picture of everyone!

The girls love to be out in nature!

Maddie wanted to sit on the sign.

So did Carys.

Daddy cleaned off some mud on Sadie.

Sadie loved picking flowers!

She loves to be on Grandpa's shoulders to see the leaves.

What a beautiful couple!

We have been married 14 years tomorrow!

The kids had fun playing at the park in

Boone and balancing on the beam.

Baby Rowan loves to be held by his sweet Aunt Stacey!

Russell's Memorial Service

At this memorial service we honored the life of Russell. What a sweet, gentle and caring young man he was to everyone around him. Let us relish life every moment we live it. Give your children and loved ones a hug each and every day. Tell them you love them often! We never know when our loved ones will pass away so cherish each moment you have with them. I am so grateful for family and the loyalty of loved ones. I am so blessed to have all of the supportive friends and family members that I can always count on to be there for me when I need them!

Thank you Russell for blessing my life in so many ways with your unconditional love for all!
I loved these flowers that Tom's friends at work gave us.

Rene's family gave us these beautiful white lilies.

Stacey edited this picture of Russell for me.

Janie helped me to set up the pictures of Russell.

The Pallbearers were helping at the graveside service.
