THE HALLS

This has been a sobering week. Our thoughts and prayers and love go to Kristy and her family. It is never easy and although they have great comfort in knowing that their mom and wife, grandmother, etc is happy and pain free, you just miss them so much. I am glad I got to know Sheila. I remember our conversations when Kristy was pregnant with the twins and after they were born and how concerned she was. She was so appreciative of me although I didn't do anything, but she was so happy that someone was going to be there to help since she couldn't. One of the greatest tributes I can say about her is that she raised a wonderful daughter. The week started with a celebration of Addie's birthday and Christie invited all to come for cake and ice cream. The cousins were so happy to be together. The little girls spent their time on the slide and swing set, the boys just had fun running around their back yard and Sis organized a kick ball game. Dad and Liz made up the cheerleading section. Jer, Tom and Darren were the heavy weights in the outfield first. John and the rest of us females made up the other team. The kids went with who ever they wanted to at the moment. We had fun. (We missed R&A's fam) Addie loved having her cake and loved having her birthday. Thanks so much for having us over Christie. School starts tomorrow for the Utahans. Kylie and T&A's family already have started. Hope everyone has great teachers and will make great friends. Have a great week. Sure love you all!
