It is amazing to see him grow! He got big so fast!! We love you buddy!
So many wonderful memories. I had forgotten those cute adorable baby faces and it was wonderful to see them again. By the way it not a flute, it's a clarinet and now my kids love doing what he is doing in that photo. Suzanne is right he grew up so fast. Did you change the music to reflect the songs he liked? We love Calvin so much & really do miss him, how has a year gone by so quickly?
Thanks for sharing these photos of Calvin. i loved looking at them and remembering some of the events. We really do love him and miss him.
What cute pictures. Like Sally, I forgot what they all looked like little. I'm looking forward to a weeks worth of photos! We miss him so much. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Donna. This is so appropriate as we ponder on how this last year has changed our lives forever. There is a tug in our hearts that will always be there, but there is joy in having known and loved Calvin. It is a joy that can overcome the pain of his loss. Not a visit to the Temple goes by without me thinking of Calvin and of all of you as I am reminded of the eternal nature of our families and the promises we have received. God Bless.
Oh Donna what cute pictures! Made me cry, I'll admit it.
Such cute pictures. Calvin sure managed to pack a lot of life and fun into a short time. I love the picture of Calvin and Boomer asleep together.
Such great pictures! I can't believe how fast Calvin grew up.
Sally- I knew it had a name, I just couldn't think of it. And I changed the first song to one we both liked last year because it always reminds me of him. Not only did he like it I had to get the guitar music for him so he could learn it.
Donna that is so cool he needed the guitar music because he liked it so much. That is so McLean of him. I just remembered you talking about his favorite Green Day song the last time we were there.
thanks for sharing...oh, how i love photographs!!
