Lauren's 3 Year Check-Up

We finally had Lauren's 3 year old check-up yesterday.  She did great!  The doctor, once again, said she is perfect. ;-)  She weighs 31 pounds and is 38 inches tall.  Now we will wait and see how far behind Lilly is at her 2 year old check-up on Tuesday.  I'm guessing she isn't far behind at all.

Last night we went to the funeral home for Todd and today we will be attending his funeral.  This will not be easy.  I'm not so sure it has completely hit me.  It is still such a shock.  This morning I was coming back home from going to get my hair cut (after way too long) and when I pulled in the driveway, I saw Todd's car over at his house and for a second thought, Todd's home.  Oops.  That is going to take some getting used to. 

Thank you to everyone who has called or emailed or texted about this terrible loss.  I will pass on your thoughts to Esther.  For those who asked, we don't need anything but thank you.  And Esther and the boys don't need anything right now.  They have more food than they know what to do with and have received enough flowers that they could easily open a floral shop.  If their needs change, I will be sure to let you know.
