A little St. Patty's day fun...

Mmmmmm. Green Pancakes.

Tug-a-War...

Abbi won.

In Memorial...

Olivia's Favorite Things about her Grandad...

"He's good."

"That when we go outside, we rock on the bench and he sings me songs like Peanut Butter."

"Sitting at the counter eating together and watching TV together."

"Playing with him."

"Grandad's hugs and Grannie's kisses."

We miss you terribly Grandad. A year ago, today, Olivia sang to you, The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow, not ten minutes before you took your last breathe. Your children watched in awe as you left this world. And we imagined Emma waiting to greet you home.

Many tears have been shed but the memories we all share of you bring hope and joy to our lives.

We love you.

Nothing like a hug from grams and gramps....

We had a fabulous time with grandma and grandpa yesterday!
Gramps spent a long time teaching Livi the Autoharp, which she absolutely LOVED, and Abbi wanted in on the fun as well.
Grams fed us a delicious meal and showed us her latest quilt. (AMAZING!)
Livi and Abbi sure love their great-grandparents!

What a blessing you are to us.
We love you both so much!
