Reunion: A Pictoral Essay

This year we left something important at at the beach. We thought this item was gone for ever, but luckily it was returned safe and sound.

PALS

Jocelyn and I joined a local playgroup called PALS (Preschool Activities Learning Shop). It's a crazy group with lots of kids that gets together every Wednesday in the Civic center. Jocelyn loves it! Today she made her very first craft project: An apple. She was too cute while she was placing all the pieces on the glue, and she was so proud once she was done. She carried it around and showed it to everyone. When we got home I took some pictures...

09-11-01 Never Forgotten

I will never be able to forget the events that occurred on September 11, 2001. It is sad that 8 years later, it seems that many have.

Especially today, but also many other days, I think not only about those who lost their lives that day, but also about all who were affected. The victims of 9/11 were many more than those who died.

September 11 is a day that will forever cause a heavy heart for me.

I once again find myself pulling out the picture below and thanking God that I (and especially Todd) was not (but absolutely could have been) directly affected by the evil that occurred that day.

To find a safe journey through grief to growth does not mean one should forget the past. It means that on the journey we will need safe pathways so that remembrance, which may be painful, is possible.

Here We Go!

Tonight marks the start of another Steelers Football season!!!! This year Jocelyn got her very own jersey!

I am definitely biased, but Jocelyn has to be the cutest Steelers Fan ever!

Oh, and even Elmo is a Steelers fan!

A No-Go on the Potty

Ok, so the potty (both child-sized and adult-sized) is terrifying to Jocelyn now. She will still go into the bathroom and point at them and say "poop", but if you try to sit her on one she freaks. So for now, the potty sits unused, which is OK. Jocelyn can try again in her own time, but for now I'm still very proud of her!
