Hey there Shayla!! It certainly was a beautiful day, wasn't it?! You and mom look so very cute there in the pumpkin patch. And quite creative pumpkins I must say! Do they each have a name? I'm wondering if Meghan is going to carve a Penn State pumpkin - she carved one last year that was really neat. If she does I'll take a picture of it and send it to you ....and is that an
E-A-G-L-E-S shirt I see you wearing??!! Very cool! We have bragging rights here in the East today! Keep that beautiful smile, sweetie! (what happened to your braid?) love, sylvia

***Oh Shayla, don't forget to cheer for Penn State this weekend! : )

The pumpkins look great Shayla!!

It sure was summer like yesterday- They call that Indian Summer- I'm not sure why you'll have to ask Mommy about that.

With love to you sweetheart and Mommy and Daddy too,
Heather

Good Morning Angela, Shayne and Shayla ... Thanks for the great fall photos of you all at the Pumpkin Patch and painting the pumpkins ... thank you also for the picture of beautiful Christi and Shayla from last year - who would have imagined? My heart continues to break for you all and the tears remain steady for your loss ... if only wishing on a star came true Christi would be back in your arms for I have wished on many stars ... still thinking, still crying, still praying ...

God Bless!

You are making some new beautiful memories to add to the ones you already have. Memories are like pictures from God, a beautiful glance into the past.

I continue to carry all of you in my heart and prayers.

What a special memorial garden with all of its personal tributes to Christi!

Shayla- great job with the pumpkins, I love them! Sounds like you did great at riding your bike the other weekend. We loved how you all wore your Rally Across America tshirts for your biking adventure. Maybe you can do RAA next year!

PS- My computer thinks that I am Austin and Tom, and I'm not going to argue with it since this is easier than creating an account, but it is really Claire!

I miss your postings about Christi and what she's up to.. or not up to.

Just so you know.. we all miss her.. not in the same you do, obviously.. but through your writings and pictures online she became a part of our lives.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Kate
