Most of these have been uploaded to Facebook and/or Instagram, but I wanted to put my most favorites here on my blog. I hope you enjoy! Beach Vacation Seriously – this was the best I could get out of Marielle! These will be framed. And I can’t even talk about this little man! We are all in love with him! He couldn’t be cuter – even in a pink bib!! Our early morning bike ride in PJ’s. Fun outside. Marielle’s new big bed, and Griffin being Griffin with koala slippers on. Aliza – I can’t even talk about how she makes my heart melt. She’s too cute. What’s better than sliding with your sister? And, after recent events – these will be cherished, even though they are just iPhone pics. Aliza with Pop after dinner.

This past Sunday was a very sad day for us. Early in the morning, my dad called to tell me the news. My grandmother had passed. I knew she was in the hospital, but she was in the hospital a lot. My mom told me she had gone in early Saturday morning with a high fever. This was not the first time she had a high fever (105 degrees), or had been in the hospital. I was concerned, but not gravely concerned. I figured they’d either get it under control and send her home, or like last time, she’d be in for a week or two, then a little rehab to regain strength, then back home. When the phone rang Sunday morning, I knew after the “hello” from my dad. He barely had to tell me. I knew. I could tell. And I was devastated. I rushed to the hospital, cried a lot and said my good-byes. And from there the ball started rolling. Plans for services, burial and reception. It all happened so fast. Wake Monday evening and Tuesday for a few hours with service at 2, and burial. Reception for family at my mom...
