Oh how time is flying!

Landon is now almost 7 months old and we are having a BLAST with him! He is an awesome baby and such a blessing in our lives! He is sitting up strong on his own, loving his baby food, rolling over, trying to scoot up on his knees, loves walking behind his activity walker (with assistance!), and LOVES the pool!!!

We are having a great summer and can't wait to head back to Indiana for

FAMILY CAMP in 2 weeks!!!

LANDON TIMOTHY TROPF

Okay, so obviously I have been a HUGE slacker on this blog!!! I am so sorry!! The GOOD news is that LANDON TIMOTHY TROPF came 3 weeks early and is perfectly healthy and ADORABLE!! He was born on December 16, 2009 and was 7lbs 3 oz and 20in long. He came VERY VERY fast, which mommy was happy about!

He is the love of our lives!!

In Memory of Grandpa Schrock

My Grandpa Schrock made it to his HEAVENLY HOME yesterday, September 18th! He had been diagnosed with Dementia, but was doing fairly well. In the last few days, he got pneumonia, had a hard time swallowing, and was spiking a fever. My aunt went up to meet with the doctors and they had already left. While she and Grandma were in the room with Grandpa, his breathing wasn't sounding good and he took his last breath. I know that God spared him from a lot of suffering. I"m so thankful for the Godly legacy he leaves behind. He was truly a man of God who worked so hard his whole life to provide for his family.

I know he's happy, whole, and walking those streets of gold!

Just hanging out with Grandpa!

Am I my mother's daughter or what?!!?? =)

IN LOVING MEMORY......

September 4th was the 7 year anniversary of when dad died. I don't even know how to begin describing the last 7 years of my life. There have been many dark and sad days.....yet, God has shown his FAITHFULNESS more than ever. In the last couple of years, I have learned what it TRULY means to forgive.....through a new friendship with Rex Johnson and his family. Mom and I felt God leading us to meet Rex and his family back in the spring of last year (2008). It has truly been a blessing in my spiritual journey as well as this journey of grief!

I came across a lot of these pictures in the past few weeks! I LOVE seeing old pictures of us all together as a family. I continue to be so blessed by my memories of dad and the legacy he has left us with. He is missed and loved beyond words!
