Down to help out at Kaven's

 Steven was in the hospital with flu and pnumonia and eventually a mersa infection.  The sisters rallied around and did what we could to make things easier for them.  The boys, as always, were adorable and fun to be with.  I took a box of toys down with me and we enjoyed the horses, the barn and airplanes.  I love that we kept some of the kids toys and that Steven's kids are getting to enjoy them.

 February adventures...Jason did a hockey game in DC with Joe and Sam, its snowed again, plants, pups, just life.










Family Matters!




 

Off to Kim's for the Weekend

 Dogs, planes, adventures in DC and good times.











Days later, a plane taking Jason's exact flight path hit a helicopter and crashed into the Potomac River.  Life is short.  Savor the moments.

Josh turns 16!
