Playing in the Rain



I ran across these pictures of Jim and Emily playing in the rain. It would be pouring down rain and he would pull her up and down the water ditch on her sled. Then they would sit and kick water on each other. I loved watching them play. Miss you Jim.

Two Years Today

I still can't believe Jim is not here. I especially can't believe it has been two years. Our lives have changed so much. I often wonder what we would be doing if Jim had lived. Emily got babtized today. I am so proud of her. I know Jim was there - watching and proud of her also. Yesterday, I spent some time thinking of Jim, I went to his grave - that's always very sad. I think it is seeing his name in writing with the dates overhead - not sure. Or maybe it is just the fact that he is not here.

I watched a video of Emily's third birthday. Jim was taking the video. She was really into Larry Boy at the time and talked my into making a Larry Bow cake. You could hear Jim singing the Larry Boy song as he video taped everything. He did a good Larry Boy impression.

I'm really glad that Jim was able to be in Emily's life during her formative years. She has so many of his qualities. One quality I admired about Jim was that he made life simple and had fun. He was definately one that lived in the present. I hope that her life will be like that. He was able to live life to it's very fullest. I think that is how God intends for it to be. Me, I was better at having fun when Jim was around but I am working on it.

With God's guidance, another chapter will open. Life goes on and we do the best we can.

Precious Moments

I ran across a couple of emails of Jim's I thought I would share. We had flex hours so he would watch Emily while I worked from 5:00 till 1:00 and then he would go into work. He would always send me emails and tell me cute little things she did.
