A wonderful man

Pop was the best.

Quiet, gentle, funny, nurturing, Godly, loving . . . and that mustache.

All of the attributes you would think a father, grandfather and great-grandfather to have. Pop went to be the Lord this past Saturday, and the images of his new body not ravaged by old age bring comfort and peace. We will miss Pop here on earth, but the memories we hold will keep us together until we meet again one day.

Bambi

Look who was all curled up on my front lawn this morning!

Bambi must have been born last night.

Not something you see everyday in our part of New Jersey!

A blessing at 6

May 4, 2005. Jennifer Elise came into the world at 7am and she hasn't stopped! It truly is incredible to look back at how much she has grown in 6 short years.

Baby Jenny . . . I swore I was having all boys! Did I really say I would never have a pink room in my house??

1 was cute and filled with teeth and drool.

2 was still cute, cuddly and dependent. Jenny stepped up to be a great big sister.

3 was no more diapers and cute matching sister outfits (did I really say I would never do that, too?)

4 was the beginning of school, definitely big girl. Still a great big sister, just a few more "slight misunderstandings" going on in the Braunius home.

5 was a milestone and a big year of learning.

6 seems like a really, really, big girl. A really beautiful, thoughtful, caring, emotional (like her mom), smart, precious and still adorable big girl.

Have loved watching my beautiful baby grow into a beautiful girl.

Jenny . . . Mommy, Daddy and Kirsten love you with all of our hearts. You are our blessing! Happy 6th birthday!

Easter Treats

Thankful for the cross. Thankful that I can share the story and the hope of this true Easter treat with my children.
