Life and Death
In the last few weeks, I've experienced deaths and births. Mammaw went to be with Jesus a few weekends ago, and the celebration of her life was wonderful. All of the family got together and shared stories about how she touched each one of us. I was blessed enough to get to speak at the funeral, and I will always consider that a great honor. Sam, my family's golden retriever, went to doggy heaven today. I'm thankful that I got to play with him last weekend, and I'm also glad Emmett got to meet such a great ole' boy. I am sure going to miss seeing him when I pull up the driveway. On a lighter note, I'm celebrating a couple of really important births today! Dad's 59th birthday is today, and I send my love to him! He was able to be sitting with Sam when he passed away this afternoon on the back deck, petting him and telling him what a good dog he was. Next year is a big one, so I'm going to get to planning now! It's also Whit's 3rd birthday today! Fortunately, Jayme and Bret were able to take their girls to Colorado for the week and make tonight's Dora party! I so wish I could be there, but Wes and I are looking forward to visiting over spring break! Last Sunday, lots of our close church friends got to welcome another little one to our group, too! Owen is here, and I am so excited to watch him grow up.

I love your new blog background.
Is Emmett's head really that big?
Was sorry to hear about your grandmother. I know she will be missed, but I also know she must have had a wonderful life.
Hope your mom and dad can get a new dog.
So sad about your Mammaw and Sam. I think that the day Puddy has to go to doggy heaven will be a very hard day for me.
I like your new blog thing...template? design? Whatever you would call it, it is cute. And, I know you were going for a bad look, but I think you can rock a side ponytail. Maybe a little lower, but it is cute!
Kate, I didn't know about Sam!! I must call your mom..I will never forget my beloved Siamese cat, Garbo, died on Mother's Day, then Marion called to tell us that Grancey had died also..I cried for 2 days, I think.
I love your new wallpaper,,yes, Kathy, Emmett's head has to be that big because he is a WALKER!!!!
Also, Kate, you did such an excellent job of speaking at your grandmother's funeral service..she would have been HONORED..Love, Susie(How do I get a name besides ANON?)
I love your new background and the pictures are great! Emmett is so cute and really growing!
Love, Mom
A) I'm so sorry about Sam! Pass my condolences to Papa Frost.
