Remembering Great-Grandpa Merlin

Last Sunday, the 14th, Justin's Grandpa Merlin, passed away at 79,

after a short battle with pre-Leukemia.

He was surrounded by family and lots of love.

We will miss him very much and feel so fortunate to have

Jordan know him as much as she did and

that we have great photos for her to remember him by.

Happier times, just in the end of July with Bev

This one was last year, this weekend, spending an evening on Grandpa's lap

Morning at the park

It's amazing what a little water can do for a girl's 'do!
Fun at the park!
Daddy and me
Exploring on my own
Swinging high in the sky!

Whee!!!

Mama and I go down the big slide together
She was too scared for this one, so I went myself
Getting in touch with nature
Crawling in the tunnels...
and crawling up slides, instead of going down!

Busy weekends

MELT DOWN!
Swimmer girls
Walking home
Reading up on "Graphic Design School"

Needless to say, she dropped it quickly and moved on

All smiles at the fair, even with empty bellies at the beginning.

We walked out a little slower out than in!

Baby sheep says "Baaah! Baaah!"

The bunny goes like this

Baby chicky says "Bock, bock, bock!"

Cozy little bunny

Family reunions are a work-out!

we stayed warm just walking around!

Oh, I don't know about you!
