Video/Pictures ~ My Treasures While I Smile Through Tears

'Just visiting my kids through photos and video this morning.
This is the summer of Avery's bad haircut. I tried to tell him it didn't look too bad. But he didn't believe me. It was kind of bad. Notice the "little brother's" fingers...(Click to enlarge top picture.)
The Christmas of the Wii and Andrew's fake tattoo.

Christmas 2008 ~ Skateboard "heaven"


Christmas 2009 ~ Heaven
A little video of our last ski trip December '08. It is the last time we will ski with Andrew here. It was the trip that One Fine Man broke his leg. Clearly, I do not know how my camera works.

This is video Audra took on our summer trip to San Antonio in 2008. Andrew usually had a "candy stash." I decided the boys could grow their hair long through the summer...a little shaggy but who cares? Not I.

  4. I loved these. I did notice those little fingers before you pointed them out, haha. You could just see his little personality. And a candy stash? I love that too. Hugs, Debbie

  7. I love how the guys wouldn't do their raps for their sister. That is such a brother thing. I'll bet soon as the camera was off they were singing.

    Sweet memories indeed!

    Hey - I have been off of sugar for 4 days! I am doing it for 10 days. I'm doing the Daniel fast. You inspired me. :-)

  13. Simple but beautiful family memories, Melanie. My prayers for you and your family continue.

    And for the record, I can't imagine a long care trip without candy.

  14. I just stopped by to see how you were doing. I read all of your posts on this page, watched all videos, and viewed all the pictures. No words, just a hug and to let you know that you are still in my prayers.

  15. I really enjoy the privilege of stepping into your family via pictures. I gives me a better idea of what a special guy Andrew was and is to all of you. It also helps me to better appreciate each and every one in my family as long as we have them here.
