Dear Austin,
We miss you so much! There are not many more words to say then that. Since I know you think middle-age moms blogging is funny I cannot help but dedicate one solely to you. I started "writing" your blog Friday, March 19th around dusk but I just can't verbalize all the emotion and deep thoughts I have had. I want to say so many things to you and have multiple last conversations, I also have lots and lots of questions. When my time comes, you better be waiting for me! You are going to be bombarded!
Because I want your post to be perfect I will dispense with the tears and sadness and try solely for Austin humor and teachings. One little thing though, Cole keeps saying you "sneaked" him......are you?

4. When he still doesn't call, he is napping.
5. When she is sure the boy hates her, it's because he tripped over the potato gun on the way to the phone and started shooting stuff.
6. Taking a "big dump" is much more fun for a two-year-old than going poop.
7. Corn is double the fun, enjoy it going in, enjoy it coming out.
8. Take time to build a really excellent sandwich.
9. Immeasurable joy in life can be found during berry-picking season.
10. Craigslist, ebay, SCORE.
11. Stairs are for so much more than their intended purpose.
12. Boys do not have a built-in "stupid alarm"
and finally............
13. When Cole says "I have an idea" confirm all insurances are in order!
LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU!
SERVE WELL!
Austin's Laugh Forever!

What a wonderful experience to have had him in your home. Not only did you get him ready for a very important mission he blessed your life in so many ways as well. Hang in there and if I can help in any way please call. Love ya!
What a great list of teachings. Sometimes its's not the deep truths that ring the most true, but the simple day-to-day learnings about those you love. Take care, Carlie. Call on us for anything, even a brainless day out (I'm good at that...)
What a wonderful tribute to such a wonderful guy. I know how much he has meant to your family this past year & more. I can't begin to imagine the feeling of loss you all are experiencing. One thing I remember about Austin is his smile. He was always smiling when I'd see him. You're in our prayers.
I am so sorry Carlie. I am so, so, sorry. Death sucks. I think that someone needs to talk to God about that.
