Will was about 8 months old...
sitting up, crawling, eating sand...
but couldn't enjoy the waves just yet.

so we often hung out on the sand, just the 3 of us...
and watched daddy make funny faces...

so mommy could trying to get a shot like this...
to show off his 2 and only 2 teeth.

then daddy got behind the camera...
to finally capture some photos with me IN them.


but how can we leave out a sleeping baby on a proud grandpa.
We just returned from a week at a new beach house location.
What a difference a year makes. Will had so much fun.
Reese? Well, she was in the same position Will was last year.
Maybe next year, Reese!
I, on the other hand, kept visualizing Patrick digging giant holes, building sand castles and teaching Will how a body board works.
Why can't he be here for all of this?

Just wanted to say hello and that I am thinking of you!
I agree with Amber. I love that you are keeping the traditions and passing them down to Will and Reese. I love the picture of Will and FIL.
Erynn, Pat, HAS always and WILL CONTINUE to be there with you and your kids... Be assured of my prayers... Stay strong

I am sorry life has been so unfair, & im sorry you have to continue to hurt, with memeories, with everything you see or do, yet the memory of him should never fade. Just know that your readers hurt with you, thank you for sharing
