Fall is here...yay...Visit with Mom

It finally feels like fall...even had snow a few days ago in Salt Lake City.  I am ready. 

I survived my visit with my mother...She is early alzheimers so she repeats herself constantly...but it was a great visit.  We did alot of scrapbooking and she loves when I make her some pages.  We went to the zoo with both girls and all the grandkids when she was here and then had dinner with the whole family at chuck a rama.    She loves Antelope Island so I broke down and got a pass.  We made 3 trips over there..

Here are the pages I made for my Mom while she was here:

I find that I like to scrapbook a variety of pictures ..but I always come back to needing to do pages of Jason to keep the memories alive.  Here are the Jason pages I have done in the past 2 weeks:

It is emotional to do these pages...The reality one really brought the tears...

Christine opened up the piano to do some repairs and found 3 unopened notes to me for Mothers Day from many years ago.  The "Notes" page has Jason's note to me...It was teary to open these precious notes from many years ago.

I also have done the following pages....always a variety...that is what I love about this hobby..

I am starting to get ready for my retreat in Tennessee on the 20th.  It is a Parents of Suicides/Friends and Family of Suicide Group.  I was fortunate to go last year.  It is so awesome to meet these wonderful online friends that are always there for me..

I am forever grateful for the time I have to spend with my daughters and grandchildren.  I love my scrapbook room and spend hours each week creating... 

I am thankful to know that families are forever and that I will be able to see Jason and Erica again.  Such a blessing!
