Well yesterday as you all know was a sad day. We got Taylers foot looked at and she has an infection form the mosquito bites. She had to get a shot of antibiotics. She said that shot hurt very bad. It was like burning peanut butter. I believe her, after the shot I could see the medicine bundled up in her arm under her skin. (ouch!) Today Tayler seems to be doing better.
Yesterday before the doctors visit my sister-in-law Candi had mentioned going to the lake. She said we all haven't gone in a while and we always have so much fun. Ethan didn't have to much going that afternoon and he was able to shake himself free for the afternoon. I don't know if Candi was inspired with the idea or not, but it was sure what I needed. The lake was absolutely beautiful yesterday. We were one of the two boats out there. The sky was beautiful and the weather was perfect. It brought me so much joy to be with my family and do something we love. This is something Kamber always loved doing. We had her on the boat at 3 months old. She even loved it as a baby. We would put her in a life jacket and prop her in the corner seat and that is where she would fall asleep. When she got older the story changed. She always wanted to swim in the water. She loved riding on the tubes with Ethan and I. One time Ethan even took her out on the wake board with him. We couldn't help but think of her while we were there yesterday. It was weird not having to worry about her standing up and hanging over the side of the boat while we were barreling down the lake or making sure we were watching her while she swam in the water. My motherly instinct kept kicking in but there was no Kamber to worry about. It was a very interesting feeling. I'm sure Kamber enjoyed watching us have fun. Part of her probably wanted to be there to enjoy it with us, but she knows the whole picture and knows she will be able to enjoy those times again and she knows it won't be long. That time we get as a whole family again will probably be even sweeter than these times we have here on earth.
Thanks to my family for a well needed time of happiness and fun! Soon I will have pictures and a post on my Larsen family blog.

jen i know the times you will have with kamber in the next life will be so much sweeter. i am reading that book you sent us and i am loving it. i cant put it down. spencer and i were driving around yesterday and i sat there reading it in the car as he was driving! i love the way he describes the next life. it makes me excited to experience all of that. i couldnt help but think of kamber the ENTIRE time. i thouhgt about who was there to greet her and show her everything. then i thought... she knew already. she skipped that part of dying... she went straight to the Lord. sweet kamber is with all of us all the time. she loves us and i know she is watching over us and helping us get along. i love her and miss her so much. i cannot wait to see her again. she'll be the one showing us everything and greeting us when it is our turn to leave. i cannot even comprehend how perfect her little spirit is.
I'm so glad Candi rescued you yesterday. It sounds like fun!! I can't wait to see the pictures.
I am glad you guys got to get out and do something fun!
