Are You Still There?

Sarah and I just got back from a short weekend trip. We just felt the need to get away from everything and have some time alone. It was a nice getaway and it gave us a chance to kind of catch our breaths. We have times when all we do is talk about Carter and times when we just talk and laugh about other things. It's kind of an emotional roller coaster for both of us right now.
We cannot tell you how much the tremendous outpouring of support has meant to us. Your love and generousity has touched us and motivated us to be more giving. Carter's legacy wil live on in ways we do not even know yet. Our dream is to provide a place for parent's of sick children to stay near KU Med.
Sarah's friend Monica came by tonight and brought us all kinds of good food, including lasagna (my favorite). She and Sarah are sitting on the couch reminiscing about camp days as I am writing this. Monica and her husband Casey has been a big source of support for us. Casey is very talented and made a sketch of Carter for us taken from our favorite picture of him. It is unbelievable. We have it shown below. Casey did not ask us to do this but if you are interested in more of his work, check it out at www.mckinleydesign.blogspot.com . It may be a little disturbing to those of us not so artistically minded. But he is a great person who really loves the Lord.
Love you all. (Check out this picture)
