Hilton Head Island

We had a great time on vacation to Hilton Head Island, SC. Tara had finished her treatments and could not ride in the same car as Grace, but Grace did fine in the "zoom zoom" with grandma and grandpa and sometimes Kelsie to keep her occupied. It was very hot, but we enjoyed the beach most of all. The pool water was even too warm to be refreshing! We just hung out, ate at our favorite restaurants, and basically did as much relaxing as you can do with a 15 month old along! We drove all night on the way home, mostly so that we would be traveling when Grace was sleeping.

It is quiet now without Grace. But Kelsie is now here, so she keeps our lives interesting! So far she seems to really enjoy her new job with CAMO, and has put in many extra hours her first week.

School has started for me, and now it seems like we really never had a summer! It's amazing how fast those few weeks go. I get sick just thinking of the beginning of the school year as it is so very hectic.

My nephew, Mark, is doing better. He has been moved to a rehab facility and now will be working hard doing PT. he has a long road ahead of him, and we would still appreciate your prayers.

Today would have been Tara's anniversary. It is so hard to watch your kids go through these terrible trials, but I just have to have faith that all things will work out for the best. Am not always happy with the arrangement with Grace and Todd, but I have to keep my personal opinions to myself, which I am not always very good at doing. Those of you who know me well are chuckling right now :)
