few pics from florida

a year.

wow.

even as i process being with my husband's family last week, i am still overwhelmed by how quickly it went, yet how significant of a year it has been that it seemed to have crawled by at the same time. sweet pea was only six weeks old when my father-in-law died.

she is getting so big.

these guys are all within four weeks of each other.

(sorry locks.... didn't mean to capture you in tears)

this is how i know that time is passing.

i also realize that i don't feel as raw.

i don't feel as if i am walking around with my nerves endings on the outside of my skin.

i can still get bowled over by my grief, but it doesn't come as often.

and god's comfort and grace come more quickly.

it has been a long year..... but we are still resting in the arms of our savior.

he has been good.... all year.
