Nope, thats my Abby :)
I curled her hair the other day (for all the good it did, the curls were gone in an hour!) and Kevin swore she looked like Donna Reed lol

Summer fun!
Nothing like a little pool time!
She found "treasure" at the pool
Phillip likes to pretend hes drowning and then spend his time sitting in time out for throwing junk in the pool.....repeatedly....
As sad as it is, I think this face is so cute!

This is what I miss
So while in Tennessee for the funeral, Kevin went to some places where I grew up and took some pics and brought them home.
Do you see what I see?

Take me out to the ballgame....
As you may or may not remember Marty was gifted 4 tickets to see the Columbus Clippers play.
However, by the time the game came around he was not well enough to go. He said that Kevin and I should go and take some friends, and so we did.
Whens the last time YOU had....
Thats right.....Cracker Jacks!
And who you might ask did we take with us????
These fine people!
Ok so that was a totally unfair picture...but how can you NOT share a picture like that? I love being able to capture people being themselves and having a good time!
I love you :)

Is that a Zebra?
Or just an Abagael doing super great in Karate?!
Just look at all those stripes on her belt!
And while she is working so very hard, boy wonder is sitting on the side lines chewing his toe nails.
You must be really proud to have him as a brother in public.....

In true Lowes fashion...
(Please be advised, there are funeral pictures in this post)
Marty had a beautiful funeral. Lowes employees that Marty worked with (Marty had been with Lowes a bit over 10 years)came together and he was remembered and laid to rest in Lowes style :) The only way it would have been better to Marty is if he were laid to rest by the Tennessee Titans team :D
The day before Marty moved to Ohio, team members from Lowes got together and presented him with a new Lowes vest that was signed by the employees. Marty wore that vest and at his grave site, he was given a new Lowes hat signed as well.
Marty was burried in Tennessee.

And all good things
Must come to an end. Marty passed away on 7 August 2010 at 2:45 a.m. I spent the final day with Marty holding his hand while I read a book.
I dont feel sad that he has passed, but I fee somehow sad that he will no longer be here. I have gained a closeness with him in the last 6 weeks that can not be explained.
Martys passing was a fast process in my opinion. It took him about 3.5 hours to make his exit and I was prepared for it to take much longer than that and I am greatful for the quickness.
Marty has always been a very private man, and he was a loner in most ways. However, in his final 9 months he just wanted people to be with him and to never be alone. He and I talked weeks ago when he was given his final timeline of 2-8 weeks and I promised him that he would not be alone at the time of his passing. That Kevin and I would be there with him no matter what.
Marty fought his ending for hours with Kevin and I by his side and then a nurse suggeted that maybe he would like to have some privacy for his passing. I quickly said no way, I promised him I would not leave him alone! As I watched his struggle for a few more moments, I thought there would be no harm in allowing him a few moments to see if that is what he needed. With a heavy and torn heart, I told him we were going to get a drink, use the bathroom, give him a few minutes to get some rest and then we would be back to check on him.
4 minutes later, Marty made his exit :) He just wanted to be alone :) He is greatly missed by many :)
