Father-Daughter Dance 2013

I love that the PTA gives our girls an opportunity to dress up and dance with their Dad's!

And Darin said that Elissa made him dance the night away this year! :-)

It was such a blessing to have Darin there to chauffeur us and then take pictures for us with literally everyone's camera or phone.

Thanks Honey!!

Saying Good-bye to Grandma

Or as the kids called her, Gigi. :-)
Great Grandma
[The dates are backwards]
Grandma peacefully passed away Sunday morning, 2.24.13.
Her funeral was Thursday, 2.28.13, in Shelton.
We are thankful that Grandma's suffering on earth is over and we are rejoicing knowing that she is with Jesus - consumed in love and peace.
