The Nelson Family Smorgasbord: Together Forever

Charly Chuckles

November 4, 2008 "Care-fo, Gama"- While carting around "Roberts", Charly saw an older employee standing on a tall stepping stool, putting some yarn away. ("Careful, Grandma!") September 3, 2008 This morning Charly was in her high chair eating breakfast when I heard her from the other room saying, "Wheee! Wheee! Wheeeeee!" I walked into the kitchen and saw her sliding her Life cereal squares down the slope of her bowl into her pool of milk. What an imagination!! :-) ****************** August 22, 2008 This morning Charly and I were sliding down the stairs on our bums when she looked up at Mommy's wedding pictures up on the wall. I asked her who that was and she said, "Mommy PINCESS!" (Princess!)....with absolutely no coaching! That just made my day!! ******* August 22, 2008 One night Jordan was making dinner and burnt something after which he bellowed out "Dang!". Charly immediately echoed, "DANG!" Now every morning when Daddy goes in with me to sing to her, she says, "Daddy Dang!"

Many of you may remember last June when my brother-in-law Derek's little brother, David, passed away suddenly. He left behind his dear wife and soulmate, Kelli, his 2 year old daughter, Kennedy, and an unborn angel who was to be born 6 months later. On December 20th, Kelli gave birth to their little girl, London Wright. As my sister said, what a sweet thing to think that just moments before she was cradled in her Daddy's arms and then passed through the veil into her mother's. We miss David so much, but know he will be walking alongside his girls every day of their lives until one day when they shall once again be reunited.
