I think you have about met the whole family, except Carissa. Carissa graduated from high school in May. I find myself missing the life we had with her at this time last year. Carissa played basketball, and our life revolved around her schedule. Last year was hard because I missed so much of the season while taking care of mom, but I was here for some important basketball events! I'll never forget her last game, it was the night before I left for Az. the last time, knowing mom wasn't going to make it. She performed on the court like never before, she went out giving it everything she had, like she does everything. It was a pretty emotional night for me! Carissa is our quiet child, but she is such a blessing to us. In this picture, she is with my blog instructor and her husband-David and Kathy. They went to our church when Carissa was born and they kept her from the time she was 2 weeks old. Of course, they also did their share of watching Joshua too.
Just last night I was overwhelmed with God's goodness. Family. Friends. People that touch our lives. Relationships. So many people touch our lives and change us forever. God is good!

Carissa was an adorable little baby. We dressed her up in my Grandfathers Christening gown when she was 3 weeks old and took a photo of her modeling it, laying on the bed.
She was like our cats when she was just crawling. Ever time she heard someones foot touch the kitchen floor she was in there like a flash wanting whatever you were eating.
When she was barely walking she would lead David and Todd around holding on to just one finger.
She is and always has been the sweetest person you could ever meet. We all love her and have enjoyed watching her grow into the beautiful lady she is today.
