August 17 - Remembering the Laughter - - Last night my Brother-in-Law passed away. He was more than an in-law, he was like the brother I never had. It seemed as though he was Craig's other half...they were best friends from birth. We've watched as he courageously faced a daunting diagnosis. When the doctors told him "You can't fight ALS"...he fought anyway, and he fought hard. Today I am remembering all of our joint family vacations and fun weekend getaways. And I will always cherish the laughing and talking the four of us shared late into so many nights over a good bottle of wine.- - We will miss him every single day, but he'll live on in our hearts and minds forever.
August 15 - Practicing with the Lensbaby
August 15 - Katherine and I have enjoyed watching the Monarch Butterflies this summer. I've been photographing, she's been researching. We finally caught this actually emerging from it's chrysalis this morning. We have been amazed at how few of these actually make it from caterpillar to healthy butterfly.
