we'll be back soon

About three weeks ago I was about to update the blog with about 5 fun overdue posts, and then something happened. A very close family member of Dan's passed away unexpectedly and it just seemed to put everything (everything - seeming the entire world at first) on hold for a while.

Ed's death definitely has and will change our lives forever, and I will do an entire tribute post to Ed when I'm ready.

For now I just wanted to say that we are all here --- we are all healthy --- we are all great. We've had many wonderful memories to share from this summer and I will be back soon (after our carnival at our photography studio this weekend is over!) and will be sharing those with you soon.

Thank you so much to all of you who have given us so much support through the tragedy. The entire Brand Family has been blessed with so many wonderful friends... and of course we realize how blessed we are to have each other.

Please continue to pray for Ed's wife and three daughters & their families as well as all of the siblings, grandchildren, friends, and family who miss him dearly...

We hope to see you all this weekend at the carnival - and if you have no idea what I'm talking about, click HERE!

Much love to you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We'll be back soon.
