Happy Halloween!


Happy Halloween Mom,
      
         Missing you this fall season and the parties down at Windsor Pines. I would love to see your face when you see how elegant Lilly rocks her Blue Elsa dress this year. It is homemade, and stands out above the rest of the 8 million Elsa's out there this year. Elsa is from Frozen, we saw Frozen as a family last Thanksgiving after a our huge meal at Rick and Connie's House.

      The movie Frozen,  will always hold a special place in my heart.  Even the grown men in our family suffered through the endless singing and candy, to sit one last time as a family in a cozy dark theatre to watch the premiere of one of Disney's best productions.   I will post an obnoxious amount of pictures later on of all the cuteness that comes with this Holiday.

Love,
Mando

6 Months

Dear Mom,
 
Today is officially the 6 month mark of your passing. I actually feel it has been a lot longer than 6 months. It feels forever ago, and I am not sure why. Everything else seems to fly by with the twins, life,work, etc. However when I think of you being gone 6 months, I feel like you have been gone for 6 years. I am sure that is chalked up to how bad I miss you and how I think of you multiple times a day.

It is my favorite time of year, and this is the first fall you didn't come and visit after the catering "rush" calmed down and allowed you to leave town for a weekend to visit the Mergens. I have still managed to fill our calendar every weekend, but I would drop any of those plans to have you visiting.

The picture above was snapped about 4 hours ago on our pre-dinner walk. The twins are testing their limits, and like to leave me in the dust on the way to the park these days. I snapped this quick, and didn't even realize the light shining down on the twins. I would of loved to have seen my face when I realized what I had just captured on the 6 month anniversary of your passing.

I think it was your little way of telling me to keep on keepin' on, Mando.  In a pouting face I reply.. ..." I am not happy about it, but FINE!" 

Miss you and love ya tons!
Your Little Dew bug!
