all quiet on newberry ln

my parents left this morning, so it is jamey and i and the dogs. after having family around for almost a month, the house is very quiet.

we are trying to establish a new rhythm, but we arent really sure what that looks like. so far this morning we have played an intense game of golf on our new wii.

i guess it will be day by day for a while. Jamey is off of work till march, benefits of being in the landscape business, which will allow us to work through our grief together. We are planning to go away for 2 weeks at the end of the month, a little skiing and beach getaway. it will be good for us to have something to look forward to.

we have set the date and place for cooper's memorial service, May 2, 2009. I will send out more info later, but wanted those of you traveling from afar to have the date so you could look at plane tickets.

our sadness seems to come in waves. we are ok one minute and then grieving the next, but i guess that is part of the process.

thank you for all your donations in cooper's honor. I know that they will be able to help many families here in rochester and that means so much to us both!
