taking some family time.

hey friends.  we got an unexpected phone call this morning from sam's mom & learned that tragedy has hit far too close to home.

a family member's life has been taken way too soon & all of a sudden the things you thought your week would consist of just drop off your calendar.  sam, parker & i will be spending the week with family & will be mourning the loss of this young life.  blog posts will be irregular if not non-existant.

squeeze your little ones extra tight tonight & be sure to tell the ones you love how you feel.  life is precious.
