Day 202/365

Amber was so proud of her new hat.
Mike nicknamed her "Miley."  :)
A sweet, sweet girl ~ Katie adored her, and Amber was so kind to her.
I honestly don't recall a fuss, complaint or unkind word from her mouth all week.
I'm going to miss her!

In front of the Falls in Idaho Falls prior to Aaron's service.
Dan had the honor of being a pallbearer.
It was a beautiful service.

Including lots of laughter ~ which was completely appropriate for Aaron.
He will be greatly missed.
