Happy Father's Day~and Beyond

 Rob and the girls enjoying our new pool!~~It's been a nice place to just relax and take in the moments!

 Daddy and the girls went blackberry picking, and found some good ones behind our driveway on Joe's land.

Reflecting on many of the past two weeks moments of loss, hope, love and finally joy, these flowers were just a few of the many sent to Rob as he recovered from his time in the hospital. Thankyou to all who prayed for him and sent many positive thoughts our way.  They all payed off, as you can see by these pictures.  Life is so precious, every moment is a true gift.

Thanks to "papa", my dad as well for being such a great Dad, especially when the girls needed some family to be with while I was with Rob.  The pillows were made in the picture with Grandma Jan at their house while Rob was getting stronger to come home.  They are being well used right now!
