I have not been able to stop thinking about the Kim family this week. Tearfully, I refreshed my browser for updates, any news. I can't help but be in disbelief that there wasn't a hollywood ending to this story. Partly, just out of human compassion for the tragedy that has transpired, partly because in a way I feel so much sympathy for Kati Kim - they were just like us...Korean husband/White girl wife. Their halfy kids are adorable, they liked traveling - eating out - music - they were just on a road trip to see friends. They clearly adored each other and it is so sad to think of the road ahead for Kati Kim and her girls. I have definately hugged my husband a little tighter this week and thanked God even more for our precious little baby growing inside of me.

This week in America there's been a parent in this country who microwaved their three month old to death, a wife who shot her husband for giving her a luke warm beer during a power outage, and then this noble man who died trying to save the lives of his precious family.
It really is a tragedy.

This blogger has summed it up better than anyone else this week:

HERO.

What a devastating turn of events today. So many people worked so diligently - risking their lives, to find James Kim. There was so much hope . My heart is broken for his wife Kati and their daughters. He made the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of his young family.

They are in our thoughts and prayers.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOPHIE!

Today is Sophie's 2nd Birthday! What a love our little dog is. She's been quite the adventurer this year...road trips, her first camping trip, fishing in 11 Mile Canyon and even jumping out of the jeep - while it was moving. Despite some serious vet time after her leap from the jeep - she's good as new now. In her short life she's lived in New Jersey, Maryland, Colorado and Texas - we think she likes Texas best! Happy Birthday little dog!
