Happy Birthday Kristi... we miss you...
When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced.
Live your life so that when you die,
the world cries and you rejoice.

WARNING: Subliminal content that will make you long for a trip to the mountains...
Tami is quite the wildlife photographer... check these scenic photos from our vacation last month to see what I mean. Warning... this video will make you want to head to the mountains ASAP!

July 20th... Remembering Kristi...
Tami, Olivia, and I hiked a couple of trails on the Blue Ridge Parkway yesterday... I came across and photographed this vacant chair at the Brinegar Cabin (milepost 238.5) and thought it symbolic on this day for my entire family.
Of course we remember her every day...
.
This was the view from our mountain lodge deck this morning around 6:45 AM...
we never know what a day will bring so we should Cherish Today...
In Faith,
Bernie

A message from Nicholas' mom, Gina.
Subject: Carter baby news
Date: Apr 10, 2009 7:53 PM
Another Angel in Heaven
It is with a heavy heart that we have to report Nicholas John has passed on and is now with his brother in heaven. They took him back for surgery and within a matter of minutes his tiny little body just couldn't handle it anymore and he left us. God made them together and they are now playing together in heaven. Although we only had them for a short time they will never be forgotten. Nicholas will have a service just like his brothers sometime next week, it will again be a private service. He will be buried right next to his brother right at our church. Thanks to everyone for your support through all this, we love you all and only wish we could talk to you one by one to thank you. One more thing before I sign off. I heard this on the radio this morning and thought I would share it:
Dear Mothers (Good Friday)
I raised Him as a good boy, taught Him well, all through His life.
I tried to do the best I could, as a Mother and a wife.
His Step-Dad was a good man, taught Him well in every way,
And treated Him as his own son, until His dying day.
He always was a good boy, never even raised His voice.
Except on some occasions, when He really had no choice.
He treated people kindly, treated everybody fair.
And if somebody had a problem, He would always care.
People always listened, to the words He had to say,
And they would stay and listen, even late into the day.
Everybody loved Him, from the rich to down and out,
But there were some, who did not want Him going all about.
He never did an evil deed, as everybody knows.
There were a few who said, "He's always stepping on our toes."
"This Man is speaking blasphemy," said leaders in their quote.
"We have the perfect setup here, and He's rocking our boat."
"If only we could shut Him up, and go on like it's been,
But, if He will not shut His mouth, we must get rid of Him.
"So, on that Friday, I stood by and watched them kill my son.
While others watched and wondered, 'what on earth has this boy done?'
I raised Him as a good boy, He made life so rich and full,
And just because He spoke like God, He's called a criminal.
A mother loves her children and she gives the very best.
A mother does the best she can and prays God does the rest.
If God blessed you with children, you must give them back to Him,
And realize deep in your heart, that He's in charge of them.
In this life, there will be times, when you don't understand,
What God is doing, but you know you've done the best you can.
On that Friday, it felt like my heart ripped from my chest,
But, I knew God was in charge and I had done my best.
To be a mother is a blessing, that God does bestow,
But, someday, wants His children back and I thought you should know.
-Mary
