Sept. 6 - Michigan Trip

I have a million pictures from this day, in particular. Sorry for any duplicates or the ones out of order...I just needed to get them all on here and move forward and it would take me another month to sort thru these....ENJOY! This was a wonderful day!

Tommy




My beautiful girls




My beautiful children








Cassie took this picture, I think. I didn't know she was taking it. I just remember holding Sydney and looking in to the sky. That is what I just kept doing at that time in my life....I guess I was looking for Lisa, a sign, from Heaven......the sun shines bright that day and Lake Michigan was beautiful....but this is the same beach Lisa and I used to swim at when we were little girls...and so, it will never be the same...

Scott and I




























This is a flower that Amanda picked for me. I knew it wouldn't last more than 5 minutes...so I just took a picture of it and I have it forever now. :) She's such a sweetheart.

Paying Respects
This trip to Michigan was one filled with family, memories and just a lot of reflecting, spending time together, remembering what is important and just keeping everyone close and REMEMBERING LISA and also Uncle Dave and Great Grandma Vowler. God knows they are all up in Heaven playing one helluva game of Scrabble!
