Another Angel in Heaven....



Some people come into our lives and quickly go, others stay for a while and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never, ever the same.

Nanu lost her battle to Lymphoma on June 24th, 2008. We are thankful that the Lord showed her mercy and her suffering was short. We are most certain she is happy to be home again, with Papa at her side. There is one more special angel in heaven. All our love always Nanu....

Jay's Mission Trip to Bolivia with BPF

A Very Special Lady...

I am a very lucky girl. I have been blessed with not only loving parents and siblings, but with very special grandparents and great aunts. At times it is hard for me to even distinguish the difference between my immediate and extended family, it all feels the same. In their own way they all had a very big role in shaping the person that I have become and they have all provided me with more than enough love to last 100 life times. Any of you that have had the pleasure of meeting my "Nanu" know that you can't meet her and not be touched by her genuine spirit and the warmth of her smile. And I can assure you that you won't be able to say good-bye without giving her a hug either!!

Me & Nanu Hamming it up in her room...

This weekend I was back home in Winston-Salem to spend time with this very special lady. She is waging the fight of her life and is doing it with so much courage. I admire her more than ever and miss her terribly. So whatever your beliefs, please remember her in your prayers.

Laura, Kristen, Mom (Melba), Nanu
and her twin (Keewa) and their older sister Sissy
All my love Nanu...always!! We will see you very soon.

While His Parents Were Away...

While mommie was in NC and Daddy was in Bolivia, Scout was not at a loss for attention! Our good friends Chris and Julie were kind enough to let Scout join their happy brood for a few days. Julie has a new camera which she loves to practice with, so Scout "modeled" for her a bit during his stay. Great pictures Julie!! Thanks for taking care of "our baby"!!

Jaden wanted in on the action, Scout was battling Jaden's paint roller with the ball.
