This is my friend Lara (and her beautiful family) who took my family pictures. This was also when it was summer time. I remember the days of no coats, hats, gloves, boots, etc. It will come again. Unfortunately, when it does Lara will move soon after. It will be a very sad day. I remember when I first moved here and met her in the hall at church. I knew right away that I wanted to be friends. Now it is almost three years later. I will miss her dearly. Life will not be the same.

On a happy note, these pictures are darling!
