Goodbye Tracey and Marin

http://
I created an album for Marin to take with her to remember her time with Aunt Sara. You can tell that I did not have my camera for the first year that they were "here." Also, I neglected to take enough pictures with the adults, especially Tracey! Who could imagine that the majority of my pictures are of my precious Goddaughter only? I am grieving their departure, but I remind myself how blessed we are that we had three years! Not only did I get to enjoy sharing in Marin's first few years, but I also treasure the time with Boog and Tracey. I feel that I have the pleasure of knowing my baby brother as a superb grown man (didn't I teach him to tie his shoes and carry him around the house?) and his lovely wife. I know that I have incredible brothers and sisters-in-law, but this opportunity allowed me to enjoy a new friend in Tracey! I could go on, but I do not want to start bawling (again). I must add that although I dwell on my loss, I AM very happy for them to get back to California. It will be an incredible place to visit, and they promise to still have "Aunt Sara's room and bathroom!" (Did you hear the comment by Marin to Mom this summer that she was allowed to use "Aunt Sara's" bathroom during her visit? )
p.s. Can anyone tell me how to get music in the slideshow?

Merry Christmas!

I hope this works. I'm watching Christmas Vacation and thinking of my family! Found this on youtube.
