A long 2 weeks.....

Even though our 2 week trip started out with sadness. It ended with great joy. We were blessed that we were able to spend time with Carolyn before she passed. Also , we had a wonderful time with all Shannon's family in VA. It was a long trip back...Thankful that Vincent does really well in the car. We stopped 1/2 way and stayed at my parents house. Luckly we were able to see my Aunt Laure who lives in Colorado. She was also visiting. We finally saw my little Cousin Zach who was born in Nov. He's so cute!!! All in all...we had a wonderful time visiting with both sides of the family. We didnt get to see everyone but hopefully we will at the next go around!

We just got back from our trip to VA. We got in late Tuesday night(2/10) . We saw carolyn for just a few minutes that night before she went to bed. We then spent the whole day with her Weds (2/11) and we got a phone call Thursday morning that she had passed. It was so hard being there. But we thank God for letting us making it in time for her to see us . She will be dearly missed.......
