    Matt, maybe its a sign that Liz is always near the two of you, like an angel and so colorful and perfect.

    I like what Katie L. said. Or maybe it’s just because and kids just go together and make everything better and more fun.

    I have been a lurker here for many months. My youngest is about Maddy’s age. I have to agree with the others you look very PEACEFUL. New relationship and a toddler seem to agree with you. Be HAPPY, I know Liz would want that most of all for you.

    Asalamu Alaykom,

    Balloons make the unseen and untangible become real. Air, like love and like God, can’t be seen unless its power is used.

    Love to you and your big girl!

    I agree w what Katie said and that was my first thought as I was reading what you wrote for the picture.

    I like the peacefulness captured in this picture.

    When I first saw this, I pictured liz being the one dancing with the balloon. Then I saw you said your fav pic always includes balloons. After my cousin died, in every family photo that was taken after that (without planning) there was an obvious empty spot, just like Jen was chillin there.
    Last week I took their latest family photo, and totally forgot about how there always seems to be a space left for her. i’m always very obsessed with making sure there wasn’t any open spaces in my photo’s with clients spaces are just awkward….but somehow, in every pic, jen snuck in.
    It’s just a feeling, but I think there are a lot more balloon photo’s in your future.
