Well, today was quite a whirlwind of activity. I rushed home after work to get back in time to take Sam to a clay-works class while Donna took Ben to karate. While the boys were at those, I finished the cardboard sleds that we made for the Indian Guides sled race and took them over to the sledding hill. Then I picked up Sam and got Ben from home to quickly get dressed for outside temps and ran over to the sled race. Both Ben and Sam had a great time riding their sleds and each of them got a trophy - Sam for distance (who knew a cardboard teepee would go like that?) and Ben for his spaceship design. Tonight was typical for how the week's been going. I'm staying pretty busy but thoughts and memories about Sarah are my constant companions. I dream about her most nights, too. We're gearing up to head to New Orleans for the burial ceremonies. It's going to be a tough milestone for me to move past - descending to another level of finality. Seems like just when you catch your breath, boom: there's another level. Sigh. But it's all part of the path.

Alan- Awesome pics of the sled races! Jack has been hearing about all of the cool designs and plans for the event from so many of his indian guide friends. You all will be in our thoughts and prayers as you and the family are in New Orleans this weekend for Sarah and know that there is much love and support from so many- Holly
Thinking of you Alan. I drove into New Orleans this weekend to see a friend play at Tropical Isle on Bourbon Street. Like you and Sarah, I have so many family memories engrained in this city. Sarah will live on with them all. Don't put the word final with it. It's a transition that we will all undertake at some point.
Alan, just sending good thoughts to you and the boys.
Shawn
