Daddy's graduation

Fall picture

Olena's fall picture! I love this!! Look at her little hands on her lap and the forever band-aid on her arm, or belly, or head, or anywhere else she can coax us to put it!

O'lena and mommy's world

Life was different without Derick around. I have a new found respect for any single or doing it alone parents! I got it done, but it was defiantly not done gracefully! Here are some of the pictures that I sent to Derick in his letters. Those were interesting. When I go and reread them I was a total basket case.
