Family pics

Instead of snapping some pics on my own, I decided to ask someone to take our family photos this year.  We decided to have them taken at the cemetary.

Hope and Ashley were buried at St. Vital cemetary.  We're waiting till next summer to place a stone for them, so I had sunflowers at their graves.  Unfortunately, if you go there now, you won't find them because I was asked to remove the sunflowers for winter 'clean-up'.  Sigh...

Kim Olfert was our photographer (kimolfertphotography.com), and I met her through a friend.  When I found out that she knew our girls, through the blog, then I knew we were in the right hands (and wondered again at the 'coinicidences' that remind us, we are cared for).  It was a special moment for us, as we had our first family photos taken that would document our smaller family.  Kim helped us make it a positive experience, and the results were wonderful.

The adjustment continues and I would say that we're doing well.  We're happy to have visitors now, and accept invitations, but I'm managing my time carefully.  I still appreciate a good amount of quiet, home time to deal with the fluctuating emotions.
