253 Go Blue

We went to visit Mike during his triple header today.  Gabrielle tried on his umpire mask.  I love it when she is being cheesy:)  I love that Mike gives so much and he doesn't even realize it.  He enjoys umpiring and reffing. But at the same time, it's really working a second job to keep us comfortable.  He is amazing.  I am blessed.  I love my family. 

252 Six Months

I came across a random set of pictures yesterday. They were from Christmas 2008. Gabrielle was 4. Mike and I had only been married for a little over a year. And Pumpkin was just over a year. Bitter sweet pictures of Pumpkin playing with the wrapping paper like this photo. It hit hard today. It's been 6 months. Our lives have moved forward but we miss him. Gabrielle still randomly will cry over him. To be honest I do too. I'm glad we brought him home to let him rest in peace under my lilac bush. It was emotional to find the pictures but it was also cleansing to do so. I had a good cry, happy tears for the memories and sad ones for him not being here. There will never be another cat like him.

The weather was incredible.  So Dallas and I decided to walk to pick Gabrielle up from school.  We took the scenic way home.  Here's a cute picture of the walk home.
