Diabetes sucks but I refuse to let it steal our joy before we knew.....
June 24th, 2016
The week marked for our family vacation at the cabin with the kids and grandkids.
We had a fun-filled 4 days before Carson (our grandson)
became ill and was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes while at the cabin.
That blog will come later, but for now
I choose "JOY" and great memories in the 4 days before everything changed....
We had a wonderful time as a family, swimming, boating, laughing,
playing games and making memories.
Carson driving the boat with Grandpa
Uncle Brice and Audrey always up to their shananaghans,
while uncle Gavin encourages Scarlett to watch.
Playing in the sand
Scarlett was not about to let go of Auntie Brie
They love their Uncle Gavin
We ventured over to our beloved Camp "Pine Haven"
just around the bend from our cabin. Playing Carpetball
all 3 grands swinging, I love this one.
Little Scarlett with her mamma (Jennifer)

I love fishing off the dock
Carson loved letting the water hit his hand
Brianna & Audrey loved tubing together

Miss Audrey caught a big one!

This girl LOVES the water (Audrey)

and you cant be together at the cabin without some jams
I love our family like no other,
we are blessed to have each other, and I'm glad we were together to support each other
when we got the news of Carson's diabetes.
We are missing Chris (carson's daddy) in this photo,
but he was with us through phone calls and "facetime" (in Rochester)
We are thankful for technology.
Thanks for hanging in there through all the photo's....
see, we really did have a lot of fun.
Update to follow on the not-so-happy part of our vacation... stay tuned
Thank you for sharing the sweetness and love of your family. Both are so evident in your images. I am so sorry Carson is dealing with diabetes. I know your family will be there for him and Brianna and Chris through everything. Oh, for the blessings of family.
ReplyDeleteI'm longing for the day we can look back and say, "see, everything is ok"...sigh. Thank you for your kind words!
DeleteI skimmed through these pictures, I love them and the trip was so great, but feeling like it's kinda hard to think about 'before' right now, so I'll have to come back to this blog later :) Love the group picture at the end.
ReplyDeleteI agree it's so hard, but I was determined to post about the 4 sweet days we had together. I know those days will come again, it will take time!!! Love you sweet girl!
