A turn in a post

So, today I had all intentions of posting pictures of Kai-son in his first snow....
Today has taken a turn, and I won't be writing about Kai-son...
Today Delaware was hit by a blizzard pretty much (pardon the coloring of the pictures.. I was passenger and it was a bumpy ride... some seem to have a blue haze... sorry


My husband and my Father-in-Law love to go to South Bowers (a place you hear often from me)....whenever storms hit... They like to assess the road conditions, make sure no one is stranded and needs help (Nate drives a good vehicle and has great driving skills)... they then will attempt to make it to the end of the road; the beach and look at the beach conditions


Well, today was no different... We called Bob (Nate's Dad... who is referred to as Pops by us and his nickname is Boo)... last night to make plans to head out today... We wake up... there's like 6 or 8 inches of snow.... no state of emergency called... so we went to Pops to shovel his driveway and see if he changed his mind about wanting to go with us... because he had said no last night...
We got there...

and Pops wasn't home... his wife said he had just run out... well, we shoveled the driveway... we met up with Nate's cousin Dominic and fiance Loretta and headed on out to see the damages...On our way home... we got the call... Pops was found in the marsh... an auto accident as a result of the storm... Pops had decided he didn't want to go 4 wheeling but he did decide he wanted to get out of the house and check on some friends He went, hung out for a bit and said he was going to head home...
*
He didn't make it; his jeep got swept into a marsh by the current... he apparently made it out of the jeep but must not have realized how incredibly deep the water was.... it was chest deep and he went into instant shock... because of the cold........
****************
Nate lost his best friend and his Dad today....
Pops died at South Bowers, the place he and Nate loved the most.... With all the crosses you have been bearing this past year Pops... We pray that you have found peace... We already miss you terribly...


No, he didn't wear this EVER, well; except for this day ;) Nate and I got married on St. Patrick's day... it was supposed to be my hat.. all apart of the celebration.. He had a great sense of humor

This is Snowball checking out alllll the rain we were having... LOTS.... My flash failed to go off.... I think the picture is way off color and very blurry... Not one of my normal pics without some cool editing... However, MANY loved this... so, Cool

Got my flash going... little bit too bright with some much white... I'll have to work on that..

I tell people Snowball is yelling at me to put away that friggin bright flash... but he was actually just yawning... LOL

First Swim

OMGosh... ok, It might only be funny to me... but I HAVE to post this...
Maxx and Kai-son LOVE going to the beach.... we go to our little local spots all the time... Well, I totally forgot I had these pictures!!!... These were taken the first weekend in October... it was a BEAUTIFUL day out.... we went to Slaughter Beach and Kai-son decided he wanted to follow Maxx out into the water... It was Kai-son's FIRST actual swim... ROFL... I truly believe he will need some more practice... He isn't real smooooooth yet... look at the splashes and the way he holds his head up!!!... Yet, just like Maxx, he didn't really want to come out of the water....
