Henry and Jennie's Great Adventure

We are in Denver now and will be here for the week. Today Henry and I had the privledge os spending the morning with Jon and the boys and they are just wonderful. I got to hold sweet Quinn, give him a bottle, and tell him all of the wonderful things his mother was. I have to be honest, quite a few tears were shed, but he's just a baby and we were alone so I didn't really break my no crying in front of the kids rule. This afternoon after naps we brought Addie and Carter back over to play with Clark-o and our friends the Giffords. The first words out of Addie's mouth were, "Where is Aunt Katie?" After trying to explain to her that she wasn't able to be there I realized that just when you think you can't get any lower, you can. It's heartbreaking to watch a 3 year old grieve someone they love. She and Clark-o were fast friends and tonight before bed she told me how much she loved him. It's a good thing she feels that way because they are going to be besties for life!!! Tomorrow we're getting things set up for the next few days and on Tuesday will be the wake in the Springs. I have to say that I am nervous because this will be the first time many have seen her and to be honest, the first time this will all feel real. Wednesday we are going to celebrate her life with a memorial service at the chapel followed by her inteernment at the Air Force Academy cemetery. It will be beautiful.

Today is the 25th of October and 7 years ago tonight we celebrated our rehersal dinner and Katie and Jon met for the first time. It's had having all of this around the same time. So, babem Happy Anniversary tomorrow and Katie and Jon we are so happy that you found each other 7 years ago today.
