Life after Craig

---

Today is Sunday... we left Craig at the airport on Tuesday at 6:30am. Each family member mourned in their own way on the rest of the day. Bill had a marathon movie day watching all 5 we had rented at one sitting. Callista melted into the cartoon channel and her miniature toys; I found solace in the computer uploading pictures of our time together. Letting go is so hard.

This has been one of the hardest blogs to write. I’ve started it several times and walked away. It’s time to move on now. We’ve spoken to Craig several times this week in Florida and he too is sad but moving on with his life.

We had an awesome time visiting with him, showing him our new lives and introducing him to some of our friends. The easiest way for me to get thru this blog is to make it primarily a photo blog. When I think about what to write the hole in my heart starts to ache. Craig, We Love you!!!

Ok, on to other news… Our family is expanding! Scott, Bill's son in California has recently asked his long time girlfriend Kelly to marry him. YIPPEE!!! Congratulations Scott and Kelly! We love you both. Craig was with us when we got the news. He and I watched “Bridezilla” on TV that night. We’re wishing a peaceful, stress free experience for Kelly unlike what we saw on TV! We’re here for you guys if we can do anything to help.

Whew…I finally got thru this blog.

PURA VIDA!
Jen, Bill, Callista and Bear
