More of Spring 2008...

After Easter weekend, Charissa and I flew up to IA together, and I was able to spend some time with my sweet little nieces, Isabelle and Kindra.

After my time in Dubuque, I went up to spend a couple days with my parents, brother and sister, and grandparents. Such precious time with family.

It was a bittersweet time when I returned to NC.. Tony's grandfather passed away that same week. We all miss him very much, but we had a wonderful celebration of his life and his strong faith in the Lord at his memorial service. We know that he is no longer suffering, but is now in heaven with Jesus.. so much better!

Here are a few pics from times with Tony's family...

If you recognize Stephen, it's because he was the ring bearer in our wedding!

I love all the pictures! You have some cute nieces. Also, thank you for sharing the pictures of Matthew, I heard Jan had her baby, and was wanting to see pictures. Sorry about Tony's grandfather, I know how that can be bitter-sweet. Happy for him, hard for the family... Hope you are doing well!
