It has mostly been a normal day, though our thoughts constantly play back the last couple of weeks and sometimes last couple of months. We have received a few visitors and are grateful to them for stopping by and either talking or bringing us dinner. Reading the many who have commented on our blog has led us to thank Heavenly Father for so many wonderful friends and family and even occasional strangers who have offered their condolences.
As some of you know I have recently taken up photography as a new hobby and have finished touching up a few photos. I have taken over 200 in the last 2 weeks and still have many more to go before I feel comfortable printing them out. Here are the finished ones:
I will be creating a memorial blog in Kimball's honor. This is where I will have a slide show and all pictures relating to this manner. I feel it necessary as a father to help with the pain. It will be my way of spending cherished time with our son. Please be on the lookout for this site, as it comes alive I will have a link so everyone can view it.
Thank you all for supporting us in so many ways. We truly are doing well and are handling this very well. I believe it is due to all of your prayers. We love all of you and hope to see you!!

Hello Eric,
This is Erin (Turner) Kennedy. You might remember me from singles ward. I stumbled across your blog and wanted to send my condolences to you and Tracy. My heart melted when I read your story. Your pictures are incredible. I too have taken up photography and am hoping to start my own business some day. I hope you don’t mind that I added your blog to our site. If you would like you are welcome to visit mine. http://erinturner22.blogspot.com
We will keep you and Tracy in our prayers.
I'm glad you said Hi today. You guys look great, I hope Alyssa enjoyed her snow cone, :). Your photos are priceless treasures. I love what you have done. It will be great to have them all on one blog. Thinking of you.
The pain you both are experiencing I cannot imagine... but with the knowledge of the plan of salvation it shows what incredible spirits you both have, to have been blessed with a spirit that had to do no more than gain a body to fulfill his mission here on earth.
Love, Teresa Hutsell
Eric, thank you for the beautiful pictures. I have been out of it the last few days (shoulder surgery), but I can honestly say I was not ready to read what you wrote. Kimball is a beautiful baby, and has had an impact on my life all the way down here in California. You guys have been amazingly brave, and I am so happy you were willing to share your experiences with us on this blog. I hope you give me a call when things calm down a bit, I would love to chat.

Eric, Tracy & Alyssa,
We are so very sorry for your loss, I can't not even try to imagine what you guys are going through, but I know that the Lord is with you in this trial times, you have a Angel that is looking after you guys now, thanks for sharing, you are very strong parents... We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Jared & Crisdee Michie
Eric & Tracy,
You're pictures are wonderfun, beautiful and very heartfelt. Again, i'm sorry for all that you are going through. I know you've already heard this a couple of times...but you can call us anytime if you need anything or if you just need to talk.
With all our love,
Mark, Alicia & Honor Ellestad.
Hi Eric and Tracy. My dad just told us the sad news. We're so sorry for your loss. We think a memorial blog to Kimball is a wonderful way to commemorate his brief, but significant life. We're sorry it takes something like this to hear from us, but we couldn't let this pass without letting you know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I don't know if I will be able to tell you in person how sorry I am, so I will say it here. My heart goes out to you both as I cannot imagine how difficult this must be. Kimball was very lucky to have you for parents and Alyssa for a sister...and I know that you will see him again some day. Until then, I hope the pictures that you took provide comfort as he was truly a beautiful little boy. You are in our prayers every day.

We would like to stop by tomorrow briefly, but will call first...and we will be there on Thursday. Take care of each other and know that we are thinking of you.
Mike and Stephanie Tiffany
