Today we went up to Kathryn's grave. We go up every year on her birthday. My mom sends up yellow balloons for the boys to send up to heaven. We also pick out flowers. Here are the years 2004-2008. It is still a difficult concept for the boys to grasp, but we hope that each year they will understand a little bit more about her and where she is. We always appreciate the calls and cards sent to us around that time.

I was thinking about you guys today (oops yesterday, I'm up way too late) It's nice that they boys get a chance to remember Kathryn.
That is really sweet. It's fun to see how your family has grown and changed each year. (those pictures look like a scrapbook page waiting to happen.)
That is beautiful. What a nice tradition. We miss Kathryn. We love you guys and think of you at this time every year.
i love that her birthday is on may day, they day for giving away flowers, it fits perfectly.
How neat to have a record like that of the boys growing up. I know they don't really get it now, but I have no doubt that these memories will become of huge part of their lives. I love their little bald head, and I love you guys.
I've been thinking about you guys this week. We sure love you! I'm so glad you keep her memory alive with the boys.
I can't believe it has been that many years. What a great way to help the boys develop a relationship and understand. Rachel's right, you really have created a beautiful tradition. You guys are such great parents.
