Our 2nd Visit in 2012

 We were lucky enough to get to visit Oregon twice 

this year.  Besides seeing family and friends, we look 

forward to bringing our family back to Candace's grave.

We missed Ethan being in this picture.  

He was fast asleep in the car during this visit.

Our 1st Visit Back

This was our first visit back to Candace's grave since our move.

 It felt so peaceful to be together at her resting place again.

We really appreciate good family and friends who 

remembered her birthday and visited her graveside 

when we couldn't.  It really meant a lot to us.

Candace's 5th Birthday

 Since our move to Boise, Idaho.  

We wanted to find a new place to launch our special birthday balloons for Candace.

 We found a place out overlooking Boise from a distance that worked for this year.

 We were surprised that Ethan was okay with letting the balloon go up in the sky, but he was.

Happy Birthday sweet Candace!!!  

This was a hard birthday to celebrate, not being near your resting place.
