David Heiner

On June 18th, Mason's good friend David Heiner passed away. They were close friends in high school and shared many great debate experiences that Mason will carry with him through his entire life. There is a wonderful blog that was posted by the Heiner family to keep everyone updated while David was in the hospital. His obituary and some nice pictures have been posted there as well. The address is http://www.davidheiner.blogspot.com/

I personally will always remember David's beautiful eyes and infectious smile. He always had something witty to say and kept us laughing.

Meghan's Wedding

Our dear Meghan was married to her sweetheart Eric, on 6/7/08. What a cute couple! We were all praying for a beautiful day but mother nature had a different plan. We had sunshine, wind, rain and even a little bit of hail. Definately a day to remember. Miette was a flower girl with Mason's other little cousin. They looked beautiful in their little pink princess dresses. They held baskets with rose petals that they "threw" on the ground for Meghan's entrance. Mason looked so handsome in his tux and his attitude was in tact. He held a little box of nerds while they were taking pictures and nobody was getting those away from him! Meghan looked beautiful! We did have to go to the church for the ceremony but we were able to go back to the house for the reception. We braved the elements and it turned out very nice. The decorations were wonderful, the food was delightful and of course Merriett's yard was absolutely beautiful. It was so much fun to work in the kitchen with Nicole who is the behind the scenes queen! Congrats and a happy life for Meghan and Eric!!!

Way Behind!

I am so behind on my blogging. For those of you that sit on the edge of your seats waiting for words of wisdom from my superior thoughts, I am so sorry!!! These last six weeks have been crazy and I sometimes can't even keep a thought in my head! I know that you are thinking "Tauna is mortal! and she loses it sometimes?" It is true, my mediocrity is showing. I am just the same as the next crazy blonde around the corner. I would like to think that I do normal with more grace than the next gal but....I am going to attempt to recreate the exciting lives of our family since my last entry .........................................?..................!!.............................???..................! Not much coming to mind but survival. There have been a couple of events that I will highlight in the next blog or two. I do want to send out a big "THANK YOU" for everyone that has supported our family through this crazy time and for the prayers that have been sent up in our behalf. We have felt very loved and we love you all back. One thing I have kept in mind through everything, even though sometimes it feels like our problems are insurmountable, there is always someone in worse shape than us. We have been so blessed.
