Precious Moments (parents)

Winter time was always difficult for Caleb.  Every year as Winter approached I would always worry how Caleb would weather.  This year my heart felt extra heavy.   We had seen from a summer episode of pneumonia how quickly things could get critical.  I was so worried it would happen again, and I wondered if Caleb's immune system would be able to withstand another serious infection.  In November I started having a really strong prompting  I needed to take some pictures.  I asked my sister who is great with a camera if she would take some pictures of our family. 

Then it snowed. 

I thought we had missed our chance, and I knew it was likely that Caleb wouldn't feel well enough for pictures until spring.  However, one November Sunday afternoon, the sun appeared, and at the spur of the moment we spent about 20 minutes with Arianne getting our pictures taken with Caleb as the sun went down. 

These are our last family pictures.  These are the pictures we displayed at Caleb's funeral.  These are the pictures that will always hang on my wall.  These pictures will always represent my family, in a moment frozen in time, a sacred time we will always hold dear. (Over the next few days I'll share some of my favorite pictures of our precious moments together as the sun went down)
