New growth

We have very much closed the door on this event (the fire) in our life so I hesitate to post these photos, but a couple of people have shown interest in seeing what kind of damage took place in the fire. But as a representation of our overcoming and the bright future we hope for I would like you to see this tree.


I bought this tree the day of the fire. Below is a picture of the tree after the fire. It is to the left of the T.V. inside the white box. This tree has grown back beautifully in just one month. I am excited to see how our life is growing and progressing as we watch this tree grow.





We're so sad to lose our books.

Yep, those are roof shingles, right where we were sleeping not too long before.
