No Empty Chairs

Bryce Canyon this past weekend.

I haven't posted much lately. Mainly because we have been VERY busy this summer, our computer has a virus or something and it's really hard to do anything on the internet and a part of me hasn't felt like expressing myself as much. I do have to say I continue to feel an enormous amount of ache...ache for Wyatt. I don't think this ache will ever go away. It's an ache that is hard to describe but is so real. I miss him each and everyday. I continue to shed tears over his absence in my life. I do feel the grief isn't as prevalent though. With that said, it's not gone, it's still there and it continues to hit me and take me under at random times. I truly can't believe it's been a year and 4 months since he passed away. I would think that ache would have changed with that amount of time but it hasn't much at all. I continue to feel that void in my life. There are things and moments and tender mercies though, that do help me cope. I look back on a year ago...last summer and I do see amazing improvement. The grief was everyday intense. Now it comes and goes more quickly.
I have lots of pictures to post. I LOVE summer and having my kids home. I don't look forward to them going back to school in a few weeks. Not that I haven't had my moments when they are fighting or arguing with each other that I wish I was singing the song "It's the most wonderful time of the year"(back to school) but on the most part I love having them with me each day. I love that we get to decide what we are going to do each day. We have done a lot of fun stuff along with working, learning and just chillin'. I will post about those things once I get some time. Here are a few pictures of Hatch I took this past weekend. Derek got to spend some time fishing which made his week. I'm enjoying photography and learning a little bit here and there.

A beautiful stream.

My Wyatt moment...haven't had too many of those this summer.

I couldn't but help to wonder if Wyatt would be like his dad....loves to fish. I hate that I have to wait a long. long time to find that out along with many, many other things I wonder about.
